When I decided on going to OT school, I knew I wanted to be a pediatric OT. I tried to have an open mind all through school when working with adult patients on my fieldwork rotations, and I enjoyed most of them, but I knew it wasn't for me. I loved both of my pediatric sites and had the hope of finding a job in pediatrics when I graduated. I ended up finding one in adult rehab and knew that that was the job I was meant to have as it would give me experience and a foundation in my career. I planned on staying in my current job for 2-3 years because it is such a great opportunity where I am learning a lot and working with an amazing group of people, but sometimes in life our plans change. About a month ago my boss mentioned there was a position in pediatrics. I was so torn whether or not to even apply because I am happy where I am, but the more I talked with her, I knew it would be a good move for me, so I went and visited the clinic a couple of weeks ago and set up an interview for this past Wednesday. As I went to the interview, I had a peace about the situation and knew that whether or not I got it, I would have a good job. I even told myself it would be alright if I did not get it because I do enjoy my job even though deep down I wanted this new position because it is my dream job. I went to the interview, and it went very well. I felt like I could possibly have the job but figured it would be a while before I would know. An hour after the interview, I got a call and a new job! I was beyond excited and felt even more at ease about my decision to leave after being in rehab for a short 5 months. I talked with my boss on Thursday and let the staff know on Friday. I will definitely miss my coworkers, but I am excited about starting the new position in a couple of weeks. I will still have to go in at 7am, but I have Fridays off! I will be working 10 hour days, but I think it will be worth it! Maybe I will have more time for my hobbies! I will also be free from working the weekends and holidays!

The best comment of the day came from one of our little friends (not sure if it was the 6 y.o. or 4 y.0.) "Look, Santa is for Alabama, too!!!"
