College Application Have Always Been

Last reviewed: January 19, 2008 ~3 min read

College Application have always been fascinated with the way language and speech work for us. My interest in the field of linguistics and speech pathology led to me to acquire skills in three languages. While I am a mother and have the added responsibility of two young children, I still find myself highly motivated to work with people with special needs. In fact I would say that having my own children has made me even more determined to make a difference in the lives of young children with disabilities.

The decision to receive a degree in speech pathology did not come at random. I was exposed to the field when I was working as supervisor of services at mental retardation agency and then as office manager for a multi-practice doctor's office (Speech therapy, Occupational therapy, neurology, physical therapy, and internal medicine, psychology). But even then, I wouldn't say that the decision was made in a hurry or that I haven't thought about it.

I had been working for a degree in business administration when it occurred to me that my true commitment lies with the field of children with special needs. I realized that I would rather work with people who need me then for those that I need for my career advancement. This decision has prompted me to apply for a degree because even though I have a wealth of experience in the field, I feel that a degree is essential to open new doors of opportunities and will also broaden my horizons.

A may still lack some essential skills required for dealing with people of special needs. With a degree I expect to gain new skills and more experience. This will certainly prove very helpful in my career as a speech pathologist or any related field.

I have been in this field for ten years. And I know that it's a long time. But for some reason I find myself very motivated and highly interested in this field only. I have no plans of switching fields. This seems to be my core purpose in life.

I have read about your program very carefully and I think it's very comprehensive. Just what I was looking for! I hope that you will also find my experience just the kind of knowledge that you would want your students to possess. As I will gain from your program, I guess me and other students like myself will also bring plenty of valuable experience and knowledge with us that will enrich our studying experience.
