I want to give a big shout-out to my sister, Cara! This past Friday, she found out that she was accepted into the Physical Therapy Assistant's program and we are all so excited for her! Cara currently works at a Physical Therapist's office and she said that when she got the email she started jumping up and down and crying - all in front of her patients! I am sure it was a somewhat funny sight but if they all knew all the work in getting to this point, they would have jumped up and down too - and maybe shed a tear as well.
I love it when people are able to be in a career that they are passionate about, one that uses their strengths, and also have fun in the process. For Cara, being a PTA is the perfect fit for her. She has a big heart for people and this position allows her to help people who are really in need. She definitely has some hilarious stories from working with people but what I have learned is that even as she helps them with their physical needs - I know that she is also making an even bigger difference in their lives. Cara has a very positive outlook on life, is a lot of fun to be around, and genuinely cares for people. Many of her patients love her and ask for her when they come into the office. Any of you that know her would not be surprised to hear this.
Over the last couple of years, Cara has been working hard at school and preparing for her acceptance into the program. Although at times I know it has been overwhelming, she has done an amazing job at balancing marriage, work, and school. She has made sacrifices and spent hours and hours studying for each test and working on each paper that was written. She has been determined to get into this program and truly believed that it would happen. All of the hours spent studying, all of the papers that were written, the preparation for her interview, and the belief that it will happen all paid off for her and I could not be more proud! She deserves this so much and I am very excited to see what the future holds for her!
Today I am grateful for: 1. Help from friends over the weekend 2. Great church service yesterday 3. Cara getting accepted into the PTA program 4. Being motivated by Cara's hard work 5. Seeing great things happen to deserving people
