I’ve thought a lot over the past few weeks about what I wanted to write about once finals finished. This semester has come with so many discoveries about OT, myself, and how I interact with the world around me. Starting school this past fall, I didn’t want to build false hopes about what it would or would not be. I had my expectations of the academic standards, but as far as the social implications of school, I didn’t know what to expect. Building the relationships I have within my cohort has been my favorite part of school. I love these people. I would not have guessed that the first few months of school would have made us as close are we are. I depend on them for so much. My class helps motivate me when morale is low, they give me words of encouragement when something doesn’t go according to plan, and they have all become such important friends to me. Future OTs, this is one of the many reasons OT school seriously rocks.
I have a lot of favorite moments from the semester, many have been shared over a cadaver table, during class discussions, or taking a much needed Starbucks run. These people understand me, and we all get along so well. Everyone has a different background, and I love learning from their experiences. I am having a really challenging time articulating exactly how much I value these people. They are so incredible, smart, and talented. It’s humbling to be sharing the same space.
I am keeping this blog post short, because I am truly speechless. I cannot express the love and feeling of gratitude fully. School has been my largest blessing and biggest challenge. I am obsessed with what I do. It is my passion in life, and my truest love. I guess, the best way for me to wrap up this post is to simply say thank you.
So many people have helped me throughout the year; whether is was preparatory work for school, being my study-buddy, or advice that was given from the classes ahead, I am very very luck.
