First Day at Regional Rehab

Today was the first day of my practicum at Region Rehab. I awoke this morning (way too early) to the sounds of heavy rain and thunder. I wondered if this was some metaphoric foreshadowing of how my day was going to go.  It rained HARD on my whole drive Tupelo, and I'll admit I was a tiny bit nervous about my first day.

But thankfully...

The storms cleared and I had the BEST day. I loved Regional Rehab. My supervisor is wonderful and I loved working with her. Her caseload is comprised of children all age 3 or younger. In the SLP world that's called early intervention or EI. I spent my day with 3 three year olds, and it was the most fun I have ever had doing therapy. I have always thought that I would love doing early intervention, and I was right. My passion truly is for the little ones.

As soon as I got in my car I sent my brother this text: (I'm the blue)

 I think back to my first day at the nursing home and how mediocre it was... I left Regional Rehab with a completely different feeling. I am SO excited about my summer at Regional Rehab. I can't wait to really start working with these children.
