Clinical Practicum

At 7:30 in the morning you will find me standing outside the double doors of a public elementary school I have never been to before, taking a deep breath, and trying to clear my head.

I will not be 100% awake, nor will I be 100% prepared, for what lies behind those doors.

I am afraid I will not be smart enough to fulfill my duty as a student clinician. I do not believe I will be classy enough to represent my school as a professional student. I do not think I know what I'm getting myself into.

The day has arrived where I will have to spread my wings and fly out into the applicable world, taking all the head knowledge I have, and the books I have yet to cram in, with me.

No more "theoretical clients" or lists of information I'll never see again. No, now it will be a REAL Johnny or Suzie, in need of REAL help.

...and all they've got is me...

I. am. so. very. nervous.
