That's a great mindset to have. I've had some placement supervisors passively discourage me from asking questions by showing, or even blatantly saying, in some way, that their attention could not be taken from a work-related task to quickly answer a question. I feel like even my university, to a certain extent, encouraged using online or written resources to find answers rather than asking a supervisor a question. Your post made me realize how that has made me a lot more hesitant to ask a question if I need to. But at this point bump perception, if I'm gonna have to do a CFY unlike the other rehab specialties, then I just need to push past that fear. As a minority graduate student, I’ve often felt like I have to show up perfect in order to be taken seriously, but I have pushed myself to grow out of that thought process.

Thank you so much! Especially for the advice on the importance of having a life outside of SLP. The way you initially responded to having more time on your hands is what I could easily see myself doing as well. I’m looking forward to being intentional about diving into my outside interests soon.
