I am a second year graduate student at Ball State University studying Speech-Language Pathology. I discovered the amazing profession of Speech-Language Pathology when I was in high school. After job-shadowing a Speech-Language Pathologist in my local school, I fell in love with it. From witnessing therapy sessions, I got to experience the significance Speech-Language therapy can make on a child’s life. Once I saw that positive impact, I decided that I wanted to help influence children’s lives in the same way. My yearning to help others is just one of the skills I have which would make me a successful Speech-Language Pathologist. I also obtain a love for creativity and a skill with organization, which would be helpful in this profession. In the future I desire to work in a local elementary school as a Speech-Language Pathologist.
