My Mom was a RN and worked in various settings including Villa Maria Nursing Home in North Miami where we grew up. She used to take my twin and I with her when she worked on the weekends and we would volunteer our time by wheeling patients to and from the various activities. One summer she asked twin, "Why don't you volunteer in the OT department"? and asked me, "Why don't you volunteer in the PT department"? Ever since that summer experience as a young teen, I knew I wanted to become a PT! My twin became an OT and our sister a year younger became a Speech Therapist! So, we have PT, OT, and ST covered in our family, all thanks to my Mom!
