Why did you pick this major?

Sorry for the delay in posting, friends! I suppose I could blame graduate school applications, and I think y'all would respect that. :) I thought it might be fun to start a discussion about why you chose to pursue Speech Language Pathology or Audiology. Comment or email me and I'll post your thoughts! Feel free to be as cliche or sappy as you'd like. Here's one of the reasons I chose this major:

Because I love words! Maybe because I am a senior or it's Christmas or friends have been so good to me or I am just a sap, but this week I've been thinking about how much I love words. Something about meaningful conversations with dear friends makes my heart swell and gets me all thankful. Written or spoken, words of encouragement have changed how I view the world. Language lets us share life with others, to laugh and cry and pat each other on the back. To know and be known.

So that's one VERY basic reason of why I love the "language" part of "SLP". I'd love to hear why you do!
