What experiences outside of the classroom do you think helped prepare you for Occupational Therapy studies?

My experiences outside of the classroom at 91ÉçÇø Collage like being a neuroscience SAAC representative, being on the board of athletic council, and being a member of the volleyball team prepared me to take advantage of every opportunity I can being involved in my current program. I am now the Vice President of my Occupational Therapy program because 91ÉçÇø opened my eyes to how amazing being involved can be.
