The Speech Clinic

Before Bax came along, I had some other people that I deeply care/cared for. I spent a collective six and a half years working at the Cerritos College Speech and Hearing Clinic. I loved my job so much, that it took my having a baby to get me to leave. Contributing factors to my loving working there were my WONDERFUL boss, and amazing co-workers but I also came to love ALL of my students that I saw through the years. One of the most fun parts of my job were the group sessions. We would work on social skills, and through the years the Wednesday morning group evolved into being more of a morning coffee group date. When I started prepping my students for my departure, I told them I would be back to visit ASAP with the baby. Well, time got away from me, and I am embarrassed to say that I just made the trip in to the clinic. It was the last group session for the semester, so there was a party. The whole gang was very happy to see me, and were happy to finally meet the new man in my life.


The whole group. Robert is front and center. He is the loyal sports fan. Always rootin for a new team.

This is Dana. There is so much to say about him, I don't even know where to begin. I will just say that he is my biggest fan, and will tell anyone willing to listen that "Liz is my favorite teacher". He came in after the group and politely asked if he could hold the baby. He let me know that he has held plenty of babies, and once I put Baxter in his arms I could see he was a pro. It was such sweet moment, and I am so happy that Baxter had the chance to meet some of my favorite people.
