Potential.
That's what I see as I stand in front of all these physical therapy students at St. Joseph's University today.
They're going to change lives! |
To this amazing group...
Thank you for listening to my story and asking such thoughtful questions.
But thanks, most of all, for setting your goals to become physical therapists.
It's impossible to put into words all the ways my own PTs supported me along this journey. They changed my life. And they were truly my guides -- every step of the way.
(Including an awesome PT student named Colleen!) |
I could never have done it without them!
When I look out at all of you, I envision ALL the future patients who'll achieve their goals because you achieved yours.
Best of luck with your classes and clinicals.
I can't wait to see the difference you'll make!
Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your story with these students. I've interacted with a fair number of physical therapists, and some are just straight up mean or impatient or offensive or otherwise unwilling to put in the time needed to truly help their client. I wonder if they would have been a little more understanding if they had someone like you way back when they were first in school. There's no doubt you inspire many.
