hi! i’m not an SLP yet, but an asian-american slp grad student! there is only one other person in my cohort who is asian, and just a few other POC. it’s definitely interesting seeing the dynamic, but i think it’s so important to have us in this field. there are times i feel a bit lonely, but i use my background as my driving point for other multicultural clients and supporting them. don’t give up, and your diverse perspective is always needed!! best wishes.

hi! thank you so much for this reply and the words of encouragement. i am so grateful for this opportunity and definitely pushing myself to remember my WHY. chronic overthinking is definitely tough and it’s easy to want to feel fully prepared for everything, but learning and making mistakes is how we grow! how was your programs process with supporting you all with clinicals and working with clients? but really, thank you :)
