Kudos to you Stephanie for telling it like it is! I have been in the profession 37 years and there's never day that goes by that I don't learn something new. I haven't taught in a university setting in a while so I can only imagine what it must be like now but I am always impressed with the sense of excitement and energy found in SLP students and that's refreshing to me.

You are so right about getting out there day after day for better or worse to provide services to those in need of speech-language treatment. And if we as SLPs ever feel scared or intimidated in the line of duty, can you only imagine what that parent/child/adult must be going through?! Hang tough!

Keep up the good work!
