When I feel like I'll be in OT school forever- I come back to this video! Thank

I just wrapped this video up for my Intro to OT class at HCC in Houston, TX. After 25 years away from college.. after hand-picking THIS field of healthcare, I realized that I will be a professional heart warmer, cheerleader, hype king, and champion of every single soul I can possibly serve until the day I retire.

I truly hope that day doesn't come until I can no longer function. My daughter will need me. My parents will need me. Countless veterans, seniors, those stricken with diseases and disabilities they never expected, will look to us, their OTA's, OT's, and their entire healthcare team to help them feel TRULY equal, truly loved, truly functional, happy, and PROUD of the challenges overcome and beaten.

WE will be there every single day, cheering. We will coach our clients to new heights, new possibilities, new workarounds, and new ways to express themselves. What a phenomenal way to serve the community. I can't think of a more selfless, broad-based healthcare profession to enter than this. That's why I chose it. I'm beyond excited to get board-certified as quickly as possible. Let's GO!!!

History of Occupational Therapy - A beautifully narrated description of -
Origin of Occupational Therapy, a profession that heals the wounds Physical & Emotional - towards well being of suffering human beings,

To its evolution with changing times according to needs right from World War I-II years to present modern times

The need for this science has never been more worthwhile than now .

A perfect blend of Science - Technology - Compassion and ever evolving Human Mind - Occupational Therapy has risen to a stature from where there is no looking back.

Celebrating AOTA`s Centennial with vision statement - ` We envision that Occupational Therapy is a powerful, widely recognized, science driven and evidence based profession with a globally
connected and diverse workforce meeting society`s occupational needs `.

( The best and encouraging fact that comes across watching this narration is the dominance of women professionals in the field of Occupational Therapy and their pivotal role in bringing the
profession to the level of standards anyone would feel proud of .)
