Throughout my undergraduate and the first part of my graduate experience to become a school psychologist, I experienced a lot of doubt. Psychology was something I enjoyed and was relatively good at. I decided to keep going because honestly there was realistically nothing else for me to do. School psychology was something I would continue to pursue and try for at least a few years, and move on if I still did not “love” what I was doing. My practicum experience erased this doubt. I have learned…

I experienced this type of work last semester in my special education class. We were told to shadow a special education and then write a reflection about what you seen. I learned way more with the firsthand experience than I ever could by just reading the text and going to class.
