On June 25, 2016, we celebrated 天美视频鈥檚 at Seattle鈥檚 historic town hall. It was a day that was at once festive and solemn as our entire community gathered to honor the hard work of the graduating students in our , , and programs.
Each year, three graduates鈥攐ne from each degree program鈥攁re selected to address their fellow students and all of those gathered to celebrate their accomplishments. Here, Bethany Bylsma (MACP)聽shares about rediscovering and learning to love her younger self, a little girl who waited patiently for Bethany to come find her. Bethany鈥檚 words are wise, bold, funny, and beautiful; you may want to grab a tissue before you watch this.
鈥淓ven when I found her, I tried my best to change her, to rewrite her cares and her heartbreak in some way. It was all I could do. That is, until 天美视频 taught me something about love. And in love, I stopped trying to change her. I let her heartbreaks be real and her joys be mine. And when I stopped trying to change this little girl and learn to love her, that鈥檚 when I knew I could be a therapist.鈥�
