OTA Program

Today I went to the mail box, not expecting anything important. I opened the mailbox and I see a manila envelope addressed to me from the OTA Program. As I ran up the driveway my heart was racing, did I make it into the program? I got inside and opened the envelope to read "Congratulations Rachael. Welcome to the OTA Program." I jumped for joy! I worked so hard to make it into the program and I did it! All the tears and sweat this past semester paid off! Now comes the challenging part, the endless hours of being in school and doing homework, but for some reason I'm not to worried about it. I'm excited! I know that it will be hard and at times it may seem impossible, but I know this is what I want to do.

There is a lot of paperwork to do. I have to get shots! I think that is the part that terrifies me the most. On August 12th I have an all day orientation. During orientation we will receive schedules and important dates for the next four semesters. My classes start August 18th.

So, in a year and a half I will be an OTA! Wow, that sounds weird. I have said it before, many times, but now it seems so much more real. OTA school, here I come!
