Day 315 - Wednesday October 24, 2012

Today Bridgett had speech therapy with Lynne.  She really likes Lynne so that's helpful.  Lynne is wanting to have Bridgett set some goals, with our help.  Bridgett said her ultimate goal is to return to college.  She has decided (for the time being) that she doesn't want to return to Provo College for Personal Training but instead go to UVU and major in psychology or child development.  Of course, things may easily change but this has been on her mind for the past three or so weeks.  She is interested in working with people with brain injuries and trying to help them recover.  She has asked a lot of questions about different degrees that people have that work with her but has narrowed it down to these two fields right now.  Now we have to set some short term goals to help her get back to college.  In many ways she is doing just great, but of course there is a long way to go to get back to college, listening to lectures, note taking, passing of exams etc.  But, one step at a time.  Some days I hear the little tune in my mind...take two steps forward and one step back...but most of the time I just focus on the direction we are headed.  Bridgett is headed in a great direction and we just need to help her continue that trajectory!
