This week I will be doing another virtual interview, with a speech-pathologist that works in an elementary school in Arizona. She was recommended by one of the past professionals I have met with, so I have very high hopes for an informative interview where I can also decide if going to the Arizona colleges are the best fit for me and my occupation. Many of my interview questions have been trying to get to know the professionals and their daily lifestyle in the work environment, however, with this interview, I'd like to go more in-depth with her college experience as a speech pathologist. I'm interested in the Speech-Language Pathology program at both Arizona State University and the University of Arizona and would love to know more about her experience there with getting her master's degree. Last week I had an interview with the speech-pathologist at my own elementary school, where she informed me about the challenges of working with a group of kids, versus one on one, the rewarding parts of helping a child succeed, and much more. As of right now, I'm still very interested in going into private practice because I think I'll have more of a variety to learn and grow as a speech pathologist.
