As 2025 came to a close and ending my second year as a Speech Therapy student,
I've reflected on a year filled with growth, connection, and resilience. The world continued to evolve, and I've been fortunate to experience moments of joy and progress.
Two things brought me immense happiness this year: interacting with my clients and seeing them improving in their academics and abilities to be able to articulate sounds they were struggling with, also that this year i got to go out more often trying new food, I tried sushi and enjoyed it.
However, 2025 also presented challenges. Adapting to changes in my modules while balancing personal goals with everyday responsibilities, my budget challenges and my wellness.
Looking ahead to 2026, I'm excited about new opportunities for growth and connection. I'm eager to explore new hobbies and deepen relationships with loved ones. As I welcome the new year, I'm reminded that life's beauty lies in its twists and turns, and I'm ready for whatever 2026 brings. With hope and anticipation, I'll continue to embrace the journey.
