My Three Questions:
1. Dr. Gottlieb to learn about being doctor
and Harvard medical school professor What courses should i be taking in my senior year of high school to better prepare me for becoming and Occupational Therapist.
2. Dr. Pedro to learn about mental health issues with patients- How is the upcoming technology better helping our children earlier on in OT, PT and massage therapy.

3.What would be in my best interest as a minor in college? Would it be totally obscure to minor in early hood child education or should I minor in something closer to my field of work.
