I am currently a junior at Indiana University studying Speech-Language Pathology. Two years ago I started working as a Summer Camp Counselor at a recreation association with children with special needs. I have also been babysitting for my 9-year-old neighbor with down syndrome for the past three years. She has changed the way I look at life and is the reason why I plan to work as a Speech-Language Pathologist with children in the future.
