Jo, What a wonderful question! Picking just one thing is hard--I was lucky enough to find a career that I really love, and there are lots of things I like about this job. If I have to pick one thing, it would be the variety of experiences. I get to work with so many people of all ages. I get to work with toddlers, school-agers, high schoolers, and adults. Each person is unique, and that makes every session so interesting. There are many options for work settings, too. I have worked in schools, speech & hearing clinics, hospitals and, for the past 28 years, I have been a teacher in a university where I help to train people who want to become speech therapists. I also get to work in our speech-language-hearing clinic on the campus where I teach. So, being a speech therapist is fun and I'm always learning new things from my students and my clients. I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing. Thanks for your great question. What would you like to be when you are grown? Regards, Lynne
