OT Miri cutting her own hair during a video is one of the MANY reasons her videos are the best!

[@MiriLee]

[@toribarnes9951]

[@sherylrnim]

[@annies2867]

You are the best! Talk about dedication with snipping away at your bangs for demonstration and our learning. Hehe. I have about 2 more weeks before taking my exam and I've loved watching your videos throughout the process. Thank you for being so inspirational, motivational, and encouraging:)

[@MiriLee]

Aww, thank you Annie. I'm grateful for our shared path, passion and occupation that forged our connection and brought us here. Thank you for being here.

[@YondaimeApproved]

you cut your hair!

[@emilyvajirasarn666]

I'm taking the NBCOT in February and so nervous. While I primarily use NBCOT written study materials, I've found Miri's videos to be SO incredibly helpful with finding fun ways to remember different content. I have good study days and bad. On touch days, when I feel really down on myself and lack confidence in what I know, Miri's positive attitude and fun informational videos help SO much! Thank you for all you do, Miri and for believing in all of us!

[@MiriLee]

Thank you, Emily! Your message brought the biggest smile to my face and I am walking around the office looking all goofy and giddy. I was an utter mess while I was going through the process and I promised myself that I would help make it better for future OTs and OTAs if I pass the exam. So it means a lot to me when I hear that these videos make a difference in your OT journey - thank you for taking a moment to connect with me and share your thoughts. I hope you'll continue to feel supported here until the day you claim your title!!

[@carcar13100]

Miri! Thank you so much for all of the videos that you make! They have been so helpful to me with my studying for the NBCOT. My confidence increased and concepts I struggled to remember finally began to stick. Please keep up your hardwork and dedication. Its done so much for me and I know it will and has helped others. You are so amazing!! Oh and I found out this morning that I passed my exam so I am officially an OTR!! You contributed to my success so I will forever be grateful to you! Again, thank you so much!!

[@MiriLee]

Oh this is so very exciting!! Thank you for remembering me and allowing me to share in this moment of celebration! It's very thoughtful of you to come back here to share the news and it means more to me than you'll ever know. The greatest gift you can ever give me is the attainment of your dream and successes while we share this journey together and I'm so happy to be able to call you my friend and colleague!! Congratulations!!! I hope you will continue to stay in touch and feel supported here in our community. Who knows, maybe we'll meet one day at an AOTA conference! I'll look forward to that day.

[@MiriLee]

I really appreciate it and hope you will continue to feel supported, empowered and confident! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jaclyn, as you prepare these next couple weeks.

[@stephs6213]

I'm so glad I found you, Miri, and this lovely community. I'm currently studying for my exam, and your videos have helped so much. Your cheerful attitude always puts a smile on my face, and you make studying fun! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Today, I was getting overwhelmed while studying the peds material because there is so much to remember. This video helped me understand it better and was a great way to mix up my studying after looking at my notes all day. And the ending..😂 I will definitely remember the ages now! Thank you, Miri! You truly inspire me! ♥

[@MiriLee]

I'm happy you found me too, Stephanie! Thank you for being here and being a part of our community. I hope you continue to feel supported and connected here through the many seasons and phases of your OT career.

[@ChelseyPeters]

Miri, thank you so much for all that you do for our OT community! You are so fun-loving and inspirational. You truly care about your viewers and making sure we understand the material. I loved your bang cutting demonstration!! I don't think I will ever forget the 2-3 interest and random cutting now. 😂 Thank you for being you!! -Chelsey Peters OTA/S from WV

[@MiriLee]

Hiii Chelsey! Thank you for leaving your very sweet and encouraging message. I do what I do because I love our community and notes like yours reinforce how much I truly do enjoy connecting with students and new graduates. I saw that you just joined the FB group. Welcome! This is just the beginning of our journey together and I am looking forward to seeing you grow and blossom. Much love to you, Chelsey.

[@promitabanik265]

I just wanted to stop by to tell you you're hilarious. OMG you cut your own hair for us! Thank you for making me smile and be positive about this exam everyday!

[@erocks228]

I know this was posted 6 years ago, but I just needed you to know that I have been very stressed studying, and for some reason your dedication to teaching this content by cutting your hair cracked me up and made me laugh very hard. You are awesome in so many ways! Thank you for this much-needed moment of levity.

[@MiriLee]

I'm glad you were able to find a moment of levity and enjoy this video during a stressful time. Thank you for studying with me!

[@BLESSEDWOMAN2012]

Miri keep doing what you are doing. You are helping thousands! I am preparing to retake the exam for the second time, and you my friend are a blessing to me. I'm so grateful for you, God bless you greatly!

[@robertoramos8257]

all the visual cues you are giving are great including the cutting of hair 2-3 inches for 2-3 years that's awesome Im bald so I would've never thought of that lol

[@lorenakazmierski8271]

Girl, you're a trip! I love it! Thanks for all the help!

[@MiriLee]

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@amyweinkauff6234]

How can you not feel anything but love for the dedication OT Miri has for her future OTs!!!! She cut her own hair for us.. that is true love haha!! Also, it was done very well!! I could not cut my hair that well, nope definitely not.

[@MiriLee]

awww this community breathes life into me, that's why! I love our profession, but even more so, the people in it. Thank you for being here and sharing this wonderful OT journey with me. I'm grateful for you and our community here.

[@pass1139]

haha you surprised me! I'm taking my board next Friday 4/6 and Peds is always the hardest for me to either concentrate or take in information. But Thanks for your videos, studying for Peds is just getting easier! Again, Thank you! you're awesome!

[@MiriLee]

Peds was the hardest for me too! Rote memorization is never fun so I thought I'd switch it up a bit ; ) I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Jocelyn!

[@kdibs227cheerleader]

Thank you so much for what you do! These are really helpful in breaking up the material and helping me figure out what areas I need to continue to go over 💚

[@MiriLee]

Kelly, thank you so much for studying with me and for all your sweet comments. These sort of connections and engagements with our community is what keep me going and lets me know that my work and passion are not in vain. So thank you for your love, support and continued engagement.

[@johannagaspard1]

That's so dope. I'll never forget: 2-3 inches long you cut your bangs = 2-3 years of age interest begins with scissors! Thanks

[@MiriLee]

Yes, never forget! It'll come to good use if you ever work in the pediatric setting : ) Thank you for studying with me.

[@allthingsamberb4516]

Miri, I love you! What learning disability??! You are a genius is explaining the context of information through the use of visual teaching!!!

[@asmrpjm673]

I'm sitting here in front of the testing center waiting to go in. As I wait, I'm watching your videos to calm me and study a last little bit. Surprisingly, I feel very confident. Pray for me! Thanks, Miri!!

[@MiriLee]

Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm thinking of you. I can't believe it's already been a month- a month since you became a licensed practitioner. Makes me feel emotional reading this comment knowing that you already passed your exam, and that you not only felt confident going into your exam, but that you had shared your last moments before your exam connecting with me. Thank you for the love and friendship you nurtured with me as you pursued your dream. Sending you all my love on this beautiful day, Miri

[@asmrpjm673]

@@MiriLee You are truly a gem. I couldn't have passed without you! I tell everyone I know you watch you and give them the advice you gave me. I can't thank you enough, Miri. I was confident because you told me I could do it. I came to love you and I know how smart you are so I believed you. I was in disbelief at how confident I felt and you did that for me. You're the single best thing I did to study. Everything else was a waste of time. I just thank God I found you. I'm glad we became friends and I hope we stay friends and that some day we can meet at a conference. You're everything! Thank you so much.

[@DianaLopez-sx5ix]
