Should I worry about canopy gap?

Hi everyone. I have this northern red oak that stands ~ 12 ft high. This year, it has this gap that is probably 2ft and has developed a lean. I worry that it is growing too tall too fast. The pictures show the gap, a closer view of buds, and (for context) a photo of the base of the upright stem (branch?) with my thumb to show thickness. This is about 6ft from the very top of the tree.

I live in a high desert (SW Idaho) and planted this tree about 5 years ago with hopes that it could someday shade the south facing yard that gets murdered in the summer. This poor thing gets up to 16 hours of sunlight in late summer but has never shown signs of stress. I just want to keep it healthy, so any advice is appreciated!

Anyone willing to provide some insight into the career?

Hello everyone. I have a rising senior in high school who has been interested in becoming. DPT since she was a freshman. She has been trying to get in touch with local PT's to shadow or intern or even just chat with about the career but has yet to get a single return email or call. As a parent who never went to college, I am appealing to the kindness of strangers on the internet.

Would anyone here be willing to answer some questions about the job, the market, etc? She is trying to be responsible before committing herself to a lifetime of student loan repayment. I promise that we will keep in as concise as possible!

If not, I thank you for taking the time to read this post at all!

Is anyone else getting the warehouse alpha treatment from Lazarus after 3.5? Lots of lag rolling up to it. I originally thought that it was probably just artifact generation. But then I started a new game and outright froze within 200m of Lazarus
