Hi Jessica, As you pursue your education and begin your career, I want you to know that you have embarked on one of the most exciting journeys imaginable. What could be more rewarding that being a part of enabling others to improve their communicative world, and thereby the world in which we all live? I have been a SLP for 27 years and, to this day, I am convinced that I made the right choice. I hope that 27 years from now, you will be as passionate about our profession as I am. About my kids, neither stutters; however, I did manage their communication environment early on, given the risk factors in my family. In way of preparation, I felt as ready as any parent to deal with what came our way. I knew we had the right love – in friendship – to carry us through. I knew that, come what may, I would love them just the way they are. Good luck to you. David p.s. Let him know he's great.
