Why SPEECH-PATHOLOGY is the major for you 

So true my great Aunt is dying of a stroke. I have enrolled to be a speech pathologist. I am ok but the nurses were so upset as the swallowing test did not pick up major swallowing issues. As soon as I said I was a prospective speech pathology student. They saw me as a source of comfort. I told them that they were doing a good job but she misses her husband and never recovered. Nurses really love speech pathologists because when we do swallowing tests we have the patient’s life in our hands. So we get how scary it is to have someone’s life in your hands. I felt so happy that I was able to be a source of comfort to them. Such a great profession.

I’m going into my first semester of my undergrad Speech Pathology major this fall and I am so excited. I’ve talked about doing this for almost a decade and finally getting this off the ground is unreal! I look to these videos for inspiration! Thank you!

And I’m an introverted person and very shy with anxiety but I’m also a people person too I love people helping and am very caring I hope this will work for me the SLPA because I want to be independent and have a career

Your passion for this field is very obvious. Keep doing a great job of introducing this field to young minds who might consider SLP as a career one day.

You are pure gold thank you so much for your speech pathology videos. It is because of you that I am now sure that I want to be a speech therapist. Thank you so much for what you are doing for the RU-vid community.

Please make more videos on SLP! I am so interested in this field. You should talk about your college experience.

I recently decided to leave nursing school during my last year to pursue speech language pathology. Part of the reason was the insane stress nurses go through everyday and having people’s lives in our hands..I was wondering if stress is a big part of a speech language pathologists life?? Obviously some stress is good but not the amount I was experiencing as a nurse..This video was super helpful btw! You have a very soothing voice so it was easy to listen to and very informative!! 😅

I’m studying SLP in Czech Republic and I had some doubts if its right for me but I have to say that this video made me think more about it and I think i've made the right choice ☺️

Thank you so much for this! I’m a junior in high school considering this field, and this was very helpful.

I'm currently a primary school teacher in Australia. I'll be starting my Masters in speech next year and I can't wait! So over with how teachers are treated.

thank you! Excellent video. This really helped me a lot as I embark on my career change to speech language pathology. ❤

In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of choosing SLP as a career as opposed to going into something like psychology or medicine? The reason I’m comparing them is that I consider all 3 to be “helping professions” in the sense of having that direct impact, so I was wondering if you could touch on why SLP stood out to you as the field that you ultimately decided to go into (if you ever considered anything else like those other careers I mention)? I’m also wondering about this career in terms of licensing procedures and how difficult/easy it would be to move from one country to another as an SLP professional compared to the other careers I mentioned. Thanks!

I think I really wanna to be a speech pathologist! But I need to pray and ask god if this is the right path and I can relate to the kids because I have a IEP and had to take speech. But I worry because of having that if I may struggle with pronunciation of certain words lol.

You explained our career so well!

This is great. I start speech pathology in March 2024. I am so excited

I would love more videos on speech pathology!

Great video! I'm starting my first semester of post-bach classes for SLP. I already have a bachelors in bio and recently learned about the field. Could you possibly do more videos on how to get into SLP programs and more on what your program is like?

It’s my first semester, and it’s challenging! I really underestimated the field, but it’s so worth it!

I’ll be a sophomore (undergrad) in my program and I’ll be starting my real coursework this coming semester! It’s online due to the pandemic which is a bummer.

Ahh makes me so excited to start my slp major in september🤩

I searched a lot about this major and I liked it so much, it made me desired to study it. Although next month or so, I will finish my bachelor's degree from the English language department.

hi, thankyou so much for making this video! i’ve been debating on switching my major for elem. education to slp but i’ve been a little nervous because i’ve always been familiar w education but was just recently introduced to slp! you’ve definitely helped me to understand what becoming an slp entails! 🥰

So true it has a holistic approach

This video helped tremendously, thank you so much 💕

I am planning on going to school for speech pathology in 2022 I’m only going to be a freshman in college 2020 but I’ve wanted to be a speech pathologist ever since is was 10 and this video helped a lot and I subscribed

i’m in slp major i would love to know more about and feel more inspired about it cause i wasn’t my first option but i’m already liking 🥰

I love your humility. I am studying speech pathology and how do you cope with the work load?

Off topic but you are so pretty !

I was a political science major and am looking at going to grad school for speech language pathology

-Ive been looking a lot into slp but I'm 24 right now if I were to do a bachelors and master i probably wouldnt graduate till I'm like 30 idk if it's worth it

I love your insight♥️ you made me more motivated to major in this field thanks for that🙂

love ur video. im a bcba and considering studying slp at mcgill

HI Jessica, I am so inspired by your video. I am French Brazilian live in Paris and looking forward to change career from Economic/Management science to a career that is exactly how you describe Speech Pathology : ). I would love to exange and learn more about. it, I hope to have the change to integrate to it. I should probably do some volunteering in the field to find out more about it. Thank you so much for all you shared.

🎉🎉Yep

very appreciated!

The college I live near has a masters in SLP, but not a bachelors. I’m not able to move. What would be the best bachelor degree substitutes to prepare for a masters in SLP? Thanks!

Hi! Thanks so much for this vid! My major is communication sciences and disorders currently and I have been questioning changing it but your vids have been helping me! I’m wondering if you plan to be apart of ASHA?

I spent most of my life trying to find trades careers not finding anything that I felt passionate about. It wasn't until I spent time volunteering and promoting a children charity I realized my passion and skillset is talking to people and any time that I do something for someone even something small that helps someone or gives them a positive experience they wont forget I absolutely love that. School seems like a daunting thing since im a 36 year old with just a G.E.D and the pre-requisites seem high and it could be such a competitive program to get into. Do you have any advice or anecdotes for a mature student such as myself?

I want to go into this field but I was never a science person and I am just so bad at science... This is holding me back because I am afraid I will fail all of the required classes and just fall behind... any advice for me?

Hello! I have a question. Do speech pathologist wirth with people who have trouble with nonveebal communication as well as understanding social ques/body language?

Where do you go to college? i’ve been super interested in this career pathway but have been struggling with where i should pursue it !

Hi! Did you major in communicative science and disorders in college? Or did you initially go down a different path?

You really sold this to me lol

Thanks for sharing. Can a liberal art student apply for master in this field? thanks.

I have a question I am currently at a community college in my 2nd semester and I am required to take a foreign language all 4 semesters, was this true for you ?

Hi i have a question my name is Nicole I’m 24 I want to become a SLPA but how hard is it or difficult to become a SLPA and then SLP I will try my best but I’ve been having anxieties what if I never finish and what if I never get a job or what if I get a job and get fired thank you for sharing your videos I really appreciate it😊♥️

Question! Can you get a different undergrad degree and then get into the masters program? I’m in social work right now, but I’m thinking of going in SLP. Am I already at a huge disadvantage?

Hey Jessica! I heard that SLP's take their work (e.g. paperwork, research, etc.) home. Is that true for all SLP's or only for those working in specific settings or with specific populations?

Hi ! So I’m going to college in the fall and I think I want to change my major from nursing to this. I was wondering in the 4 years of undergrad what did you get your bachelors in? & are the classes very stressful and hard ?

Hi, where do you live, I mean, the country?

Post more videos now

Love you too baby 😍💗💓💓💓💓💝
