I have had many amazing people and teachers leave memorable marks on me. Many people have made me the person I am today. They have taught me and shown me what it takes to be happy and successful in life. However, I would rather leave a mark on someone else. There are many things I strive to do, but to really make someone never forget me in a positive way is an amazing thing. Helping an individual overcome a problem in his/her life is something that makes life worth living.
Leaving a mark on someone is something a professional who works with others should strive for day in and day out. Not only am I trying to help a person overcome his/her communicative disorder, but I am helping the individual live a happier, worthwhile life.
In the profession of Speech Language Pathology, it is imperative I challenge myself to being the best possible SLP I can be. Knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life is my number one goal in my profession. I want my students and clients to look forward to coming to therapy with me and remembering me for how I helped them achieve their goals. Leaving a mark on every client I work with is crucial in my mind. I want each and every one of them to understand that I worked my hardest in trying to help them. I want them to remember that I pushed them that extra step in becoming a better communicator and left that mark on them for the rest of their lives.

I think that as an SLP we will be leaving our mark on our clients. I think that just by helping our students overcome a difficulty in their lives; they will remember us and what we were able to help them achieve. I would hope that the students would remember that speech and language therapy was difficult but yet fun. I want for my students to come out of therapy thinking that with determination they have the power to correct and fix any of their struggles.
