OT School!

One of the coolest progressions/processes of my life is happening right now. Since the end of last semester, I have become interested in occupational therapy. I've learned more and more about it since than and reached the point where I decided I wanted to do this, further my studies in an MOT program. Unfortunately, I am lacking a few prerequisites. I figured I'ld get those knocked out the fall of next year and then continue on to apply for grad school. Turns out after more research that there are still several programs that I'm interested in and can still apply for. I just will have to complete the prereqs this summer. So from about November of last year to this week in 2008 I have gone from being interested in OT to preparing to apply to several OT programs. To me, this is one of the most exciting discoveries of my life. I feel compelled about a career and field and am in a position where I can pursue it as soon as possible.

It's going to be work getting to the place where I've fulfilled all the admission requirments I'm looking at because most programs require an amount of volunteering in addition to the classes I'm lacking. So I'm focusing now on breathing and taking this process step by step until I've found the right program and can pursue this dream.
