I never really thought about going to occupational therapy school until I was about 23. Before that, I really did not know what I was going to do. Basically, I drifted from job to job. I have a lot of connections owing to coming from a powerful family, and as such it was easy to find a well-paying, lucrative position in any one of a number of different businesses. I had a pretty good knack for business, and was thinking about going into that, but I soon became bored of it. I wanted something more hands-on – something that allowed me to work with patients. I didn't really have the patience for medical school, and I wanted to get started right away. That is why I decided to become an occupational physical therapist.
When I announced my desire to occupational therapy school, my parents were a little bit taken aback. They were very nice about it, but I think that they secretly wanted me to go into business. In my family, making a lot of money is a really important thing. They wanted me to be happy, however, so they supported my decision to go to occupational therapy school. They even helped me to look at the best schools and make a choice, and offered to support me financially.

Occupational therapy school was pretty exciting for me. If you don't know what it is like to spend years adrift, you can't possibly imagine how much of a relief it was for me to finally discover the right career. It was really like nothing I had ever felt before. Suddenly, because of the occupational therapy school, my life had a purpose. Of course, it had a more immediate purpose as well. I had to study night and day to pass those classes! Anyone who tells you that occupational therapy schools are easy is pulling your leg! Still, it was worth all the hard work in the end.
If you really want to make a difference in people's lives, I highly recommend an occupational therapy school. Physical rehabilitation therapy is one of the most rewarding professions that there is. People are always happy to see you because you make them feel better. You get to be a hero to these people, helping them with all sorts of different disabilities and injuries. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient make a full recovery. It is really like nothing I've ever felt before.
