I'm a PT Asst. I've worked with a lot of OTs and PTs in outpatient, hospitals, rehabs, and schools. If you ask them why they became therapists, most will say that have experienced a need for therapy or have had a family member who has. Like anyone, we like money, but it's not the reason we chose this job. It's easier to deal with dementia, autism, behavior issues, non-compliance, difficult personalities, etc. when the person is not your family member. We don't take it personally. We get a cool rush when people learn/relearn things. After a great session we feel proud of our patients and the work we've done with/for them.
When i get high I'm often scared that my whole life is fake and I'll wake up in my 12 year old life. I make my husband promise to do everything exactly the same so we end up together again. I'll be nicer to my mom next time. And I'll start the dogs eye drops earlier.
When she graduates, she will likely look towards others who are closer to her age. Heartbreak sucks. IMO, better to back off on the romance in this situation.
100% on the water sensors! Gas sensor and carbon monoxide sensor too! I have a gas stove and people are always leaning against it and turning the gas knobs on.
I'm giving you the secret to successful sleepovers-
Hide the caffeine and turn the AC down as cold as it goes. Most will get into a sleeping bag to get warm and then fall asleep. The rest will (usually) give in.
Teaching is really really hard right now. I'm seeing so many new teachers who are leaving positions a few weeks in. If you're really determined that it's what you want, check back in a month or try a different district. Every district around me has tons of openings. Also, if a district doesn't want you because of that, it wouldn't be a good place to work. It wouldn't be supportive of you or your kids and seeing kids be treated that way would be more soul crushing than not getting the job. Keep looking for the right fit.
