Getting Close

The interview went great. Now you know there is more to the story but overall I am VERY proud of myself!

The trend echoed by the Universe continued during my recent trip to St. Augustine for an interview for PT School. Part of my dream is actualized by making it to this point in the process of becoming a doctor of physical therapy.

It started early friday morning (july 31). Coffee was made by a hostel resident who'd gotten up about 6:15AM. By, 6:40 I was on a lil jog through the neighborhood to wear off some of the jitters from percolated coffee beans and nerves.

I arrived to campus early and was delighted to have the picture requested of me in the interview announcement sent to me via e-mail a month prior. 8:30 rolled around and people trickled in over the thirty minutes allotted before the day's events started.


Founder/Owner Stanley Paris was graciously on-hand to give opening remarks welcoming we potentials of his Physical and Occupational Therapy School.


Two current professors answered questions about each respective program. To my surprise, I received a wave from one of the speakers who recognized me from my sit-in her Neurology class! Wow, the same two professors from the class I happened to observe! Coolness!

After a tour of the campus by two female students, it was essay time. I opened the "top secret" envelope and picked up a pre-sharpened pencil. I composed a perfectly academic 5-paragraph essay. Whew!

last was the interview. An African sounding (and looking) professor greeted my arrival to his office and the questioning began somewhat casually with him asking we three interviewees, "So, are you nervous? If so, why?"

Though the outcome is out of my hands, I left the interview feeling I'd put both my best feet forward.

I am coming close to my goal... "let's meet!"
