WHAT IS OT?? Occupational therapy is a science-driven, evidence-based profession that enables people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health and prevent—or live better with—illness, injury or disability.

Decisions.

Today I went to a meeting about deciding which program I want to pursue.

Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy (2)
or Doctorate of Occupational Therapy (3)

I am so confused about which is best for me. I have so many things I want to do, so many paths I can take. I want to give now but find myself sitting in class. At times I feel so defeated. I have so much love to give and no one to give it to. I want to HELP and create change.
Dr. Baum empowers me. She is a huge role model in my life but there are things that I want for my life that she doesn't feel are important. Yes, I want to be an amazing therapist and create additional evidence for the interventions we provide but I also want MY own life. My own family. Where is the balance? How do I balance everything?

So the balance... first I need to decide what difference I WANT TO MAKE! Do I want to create a change in the care of pre-mature infants in the NICU, do I want to help returning/ active armed force members reenter society or return to war, do I want to be in school districts and aid children with mental illness or sensory modulation issues. ?!?!!? I want to change it ALL!!!!

So many decisions...so many options...Pro and Con list here i come!!!
