Today, the last section of my Clinical Fellowship was signed by my supervisor. In a few weeks, I'll be mailing all of my information to ASHA and subsequently to the state for my "C's" or credentialing. I'll admit this has been a rough path but I'm relieved to know that I've survived this bootcamp ordeal that it has become. I don't know what was worse - graduate school or the clinical fellowship. Really didn't get to have a life with either one and made some serious sacrifices. Things worth having never come easy in the world. If it's readily available, then we don't appreciate the experience of the blood, sweat, and tears (massive amounts of tears) that went into further developing our character. As you all know, I'm a huge fan of Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner." Towards the end of the movie, Roy Batty (Replicant-Nexxus 6) regales Richard Deckard (Blade Runner) with his "Tears in the Rain" soliloquy:
I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe.. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like tears... in... rain.
So what's the point? Some of us who follow the quest to find a better life will witness things beyond belief - such as the maximum inner strength we possess to follow through and contend with sacrifices (good and bad) made in order to achieve the ultimate goal. And eventually the moments of frustration, angst, anxiety, and depression associated with what we've given up will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Give me strength to last the next few weeks, the end is near.
