  I chose this article because of the growing interest in the profession and why people decide to pursue occupational therapy as a career. Seventy percent of students in this research had direct contact with an occupational therapist that influenced their decision to go into the profession. Forty percent of students did not go into the profession straight out of college rather decided to pursue the degree after working directly or closely with a therapist. This statistic is noteworthy of mature-aged students like myself. This article talks about the importance of professionalism and the impact each and every one of us has in interacting with community members and how we uphold and outwardly portray the profession.
