How do I learn to trust myself?
I want to be an Occupational therapist for kids specifically . I feel in my heart that this is what I am meant to do, but how do I know I am making the right decision? I've taken prereqs required for grad programs and I didn't do the best in them. I am also first gen and I have had little to no guidance or mentorship my entire school career, and I've made my fair share of mistakes. How do I learn to trust myself? I want a career that I genuinely love and I feel that I've landed on it, but I'm not sure I'm good enough. How do I get over this stump and do what I feel that I am meant to do without getting in my own way? Imposter syndrome am I right. #Spring25
