Here is Background why for the Essay above

I had no idea what speech pathology was, I initially wanted to be a nurse but after I had my daughter I couldn’t stomach being a nurse anymore. So I searched and searched to try and find something that intrigued me. One day I babysat my nephew and women came over, I thought it was for tutoring but when they went into the therapy session I found myself sitting by them really into the session. Once there session ending the questions just flew out of my mouth. Asking what was she working on, what type of field she studied, how long did she study, etc. that night I found myself doing research all night and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. Being able to help people communicate is an honor in my eyes. I like the variety of the field. Being able to practice in a school, hospital, at home health, etc.
