Future Seeker. Optimist. Creative. I don’t know which of those I think fits me best or if they all play equal roles. I tend to love planning, decorating, organizing and just plain thinking about what’s wanted for the ‘future.’ In the past, that’s been a somewhat degenerative way of working for me.
Currently, I think it’s okay. I’m in school and constantly spend weekends dedicated to my studies while trying to remain a good, cheerful and reliable person to my friends and residents. I don’t have crazy weekend stories to boast over or accomplishments to show (only being consistent with school).
So right now I’m okay allowing my mind to drift off and think about future kids names, what culinary adventures I’ll have when I have a full kitchen to work, or patients I can’t wait to work closely with. My fast and early brought on school load is not the normal 21 year old route (which I chose myself!), but I’m dedicated and a hopeful at heart.
to be as caring, considerate and concerned for a child as much as my own Mom is for me.
Then you stare for a hot second, give out a huge smile, then grasp it and go.

Hola Bloggers, :)
This experience so far has been amazing. Yesterday, we saw a young girl with spina bifida and were able to fit her for AFOs so that she can continue to walk. Today, we spent the day in the Rehab Center and saw so many interesting cases. There was a 3 year old girl with agenisis of the corpus callosum, who comes into the center each week for therapy to work on trunk control and general mobility. Today, with the help of Maggie, we were able to get her into a pony walker and ambulate for the first time ever! It is amazing to see this transition and be a part of it. :) She picked up the gait pattern quickly, which gives us lots of hope that she will soon be walking on her own! We are excited, but sad to finish our last few days here in Zacapa.
We miss everyone at home!!
xoxo, Lara, Kady, and Albert :)
This is exactly something I’d like to do with my life.
This is so precious.
I have no idea if it’ll actually stay after my 3 years of study, but when I shadowed a Pediatric PT in NJ over my Freshman summer break she ran a Little Star’s Ballerina Program. Honestly, it’s the best worlds combined. Obviously it involves PT, but I could get to relive my dance ages (from age 2 to 18 and missing Tap the most!) and work with children all day (rewarding and fun!). Plus, having other teens get involved as ‘buddies’ would only get the community (wherever that is when I decide to settle!) involved.
I bought it up in my Graduate Admissions Interview last year and it’s still an option that’s stuck to me from 2 years ago.

Most likely not going to have a backyard for about 4 years (2 maybe living as RA in the residence halls and 2 mostly likely in an apartment in a Philly or NY city apartment), but this is a playful use of color and carnations. Or if my choice, Daisies.

I need to catch up on the Ronald Dahl I haven’t read if I’m going to have the collection a hallmark in my future kid’s bookshelf.

Let’s playfully fight over what ridiculous named colors to paint the walls of our home.

Future Children, we’ll be buzy making these one day after you come home from school. Drop the backpack and let’s get to it!
