When most people were little they dreamed of being a rock star, professional sports player, or even a doctor, but when I was little I dreamed of helping people. I remember when I would help someone solve a problem and how good it made me feeling knowing I had impacted their life. That is why from a very young age I decide what I was going to be and how I was going to accomplish it. When I was a sophomore I finally decide what I want to do with the rest of my life, and that was be an Occupational Therapist. After that I planned on how I was going to achieve this and how I can do it and come out in less debt then others, and Rhodes is going to be my key to success. When I first found out Rhodes had an Occupational Therapy Assistant program I was excited, but nothing would compare to the news that I got my Junior year. My goal was to be an Occupational Therapist, so I looked up ways to be one without having to go college everyday for the next three years after I had go two years for my associates. That is when I discover that the University of Findlay offers this program called the weekend program. This was perfect for me because I could become what I wanted and still follow the plan I had in mind. Through working hard and keeping good grades I have so far stayed on the path that I have planned for myself. The Occupational Therapy Program is one I believe will help me with helping others. They may not always want the help and may fight it, but with patience and hard work I will get them to were they need to be and know that i truly did help them. When I was little I was not like most people, but through hard work I will accomplish my dream of being an Occupational Therapist, and hopefully will help others.
I enjoyed reading your post! I have a lot of the same feelings you do about wanting to help people. I enjoy going over to other countries and seeing the way the people live there and helping in any way possible. When I went to Haiti I had the opportunity to teach English to orphans. The feeling I had was about like the feeling you talked about in your post. I knew I was having a great impact on their life even though at times it didn't see so. I think it's great you're going into Occupational Therapy. I know just by reading your post (even though I don't know you) you will sure have an impact on people's lives. It takes a humble person to be able to help others in need and enjoy doing so. There are a lot of people out there that need help especially with Occupational Therapy needs. I look forward to reading more of your posts and seeing what the future has in store for you. Just keep your head up whenever the going gets though and follow what your dream is. I always love the saying that you're never put through anything you are not able to handle. We are all in the same boat together.. having jobs, school, homelife. It's a lot to take on, but like you said in your post.. you have a dream and with a positive attitude you will achieve much in life. Stay strong!

That is awesome! I too want to help people. Maybe not in the same way, but i want to help people that work in factories the regular blue collar people the life line for America. By becoming a manufacturing engineer. In a different way i was never really like this a kid, I was always dreaming of becoming a pro football player. It really wasn't until a few years ago when i was pretty much at the lowest point in my life. I decided to start making some changes through determination and a lot of hard work I started getting my life back on track. I lost almost 100 pounds and and ever since then my whole way of life has changed. I started thinking about everyone else and how i could help. My girl friend has told me I should become a trainer but i feel as if I made it my career I would not like it anymore. I have worked in factories for awhile and I have seen a lot of people putting there bodies through a lot. So i feel I could help them better in that way and maybe do some training on the side. It is nice to see other people with such a good outlook on life. You only have one so make the best of every thing. Good luck with everything.
