>> Really find your niche and put all of your energy and emphasis on that.
If you don't like what you do then it's a struggle to get up in the morning.
If you love what you do then you anticipate the day is going to be fun.
I'm going to enjoy myself today.
And I think in any profession you need to really like what you do.
Like I said, I get paid to play with children all day long.
You know, I need to know what the interest of those children are.
If they're into Disney princesses or ninja turtles, you need to be able to do that.
And I think in any profession you need to be able to grow and learn
and continue growing and learning.
One of the best pieces of advice I got from one of my instructors was to never be satisfied
with what you've done, completely satisfied because if you are then it stops you
from asking questions and looking for other ways to maybe improve, streamline what it is
that you're doing with your patients, children, the population with whom you're working.
So, you know, I think that's the best advice I can just give to anyone coming up,
whether it be a college student in general or someone who is actually looking to work
in the occupational therapy profession.
