Having so much in just coming out of grad school, I felt really reluctant to speak up and I felt I just needed to go along with it and really figure out how to make it work. Then I also had an autism clinic that I had about 10 children, but their hours were equivalent to probably 30. I would be about 15 minutes with a caseload of a 115 just starting. Then I found out that it would be a two-place assignment. When I finally got a job, I was so excited. Moving in general, all those life skills, it's a lot just to graduate to enter the workforce and then trying to get everything transferred over was definitely a big learning curve. I had to figure out the logistics of what you do when you have partially one CFY and you're not completed, and then you have to finish it out in another place. As I really got underway with my CFY, we realized that he was starting to move up in the field and he was relocated to Arizona. I started in Colorado and my husband had been there for a while.

I got engaged, planned a wedding, and I moved a few, I think, two weeks after. I did all the things that you were not supposed to do in grad school. I know that I had a little bit of a unique CFY experience. I think that there are a lot of things that we don't really realize that happen, or applying a lot of the clinical things that we have learned from our professors and our teachers and really just putting into real life things. We have this magic fairy dust, and we want to help all the people. I think, we were so excited to get into grad school and we're so excited to get out. I wanted to really talk about the things that I wish I would have had with me going into my CFY year. It's so interesting to be on the other side of this, because normally I moderate also.
