What was the most challenging concept you had to learn throughout PT school? #Spring26

I'm a junior in college, starting to research what PT school I want to go to. I want to know the most challenging thing, so hopefully I can prepare myself the best for it.

How do you know if you are sure about what to study?

Because I'm not sure what to study, and I've seen many people who, once they're halfway through their degree, no longer enjoy it—and I'm afraid the same thing might happen to me.

How do you deal with feeling behind or comparing yourself to others in college or early career stages?

It’s easy to feel like others are ahead, especially with internships, jobs, or achievements. I’m curious how professionals handled that pressure and stayed focused on their own path.
