I find it very interesting and almost challenging when I look towards my future as an occupational therapist. We currently have our road mapped out for us for 2.5 years, and then it is our turn to grab the map and choose our destination. Although I know this will be difficult and maybe a struggle at times, I look forward to seeing where my road takes me and what interests will be sparked as I move through my time in OT school and begin my fieldwork.
I know being a life long learner will be a fun journey! I love that occupational therapy is a field that never quits evolving, growing, and there are no limitations on where we may venture to next. I know during class we discussed that being a lifelong learner can stem from our professional development. We can be intentional and strategic with our professional development, guiding us to our next destination or area of specialty!
It is important to highlight that without the OT student program, being a lifelong learner in OT would not be possible. This is a journey, and although it seems to be a short one, it is the next step to becoming the therapists that others are investing in us to become. I am excited for the future, and will always keep in mind to be intentional with the way I choose my professional development and CEU's to best serve those around me as my client's.
