My Future Career

Becoming a Speech Language Pathology(SLP) is not easy. It takes hard work and dedication to become one due to the competitiveness of the Major. However I know that when I do it, it will be worth it! The reward for doing becoming an SLP is changing peoples lives. As an SLP I will be able to help others with oral and speech related issues, in other words give people a voice. I can not think of something better I would rather be doing.

I have shadowed a SLP.

I shadowed an SLP working at a school. I learned a lot during this experience. I learned how to document Language sessions. I knew after this I wanted to work with kids!

I have volunteered at a SLP clinic.

Volunteering at a clinic was entirely different. i saw different kids with a range of conditions from lisps to more serious speech impediments. I loved the experience and made great friends.

I Have been very involved in On Campus clubs
