I called this one “Finding Hope”

Actually, the worst dream is when you see them, and it makes sense because plenty of people survive cancer, and there's a few good years left, and you think you'll go see them as soon as you wake up, and you wake up because you're excited, and you've woken up.

The edge is a start of a new mountain to climb...

I have conquered mountain by mountain to reach the edge. I’m not Nirmal Purja, the world's greatest mountaineer, but I have conquered the edge that accompanies professional growth as an OT, evoking a personal shift that gravitates toward the urge to consume more knowledge, skill, and experience. I close my eyes as I feel my legs start to tremble, giving in to the extensity of mental and physical demands of the degree, to the burning chest with little air to breathe, and my sight failing on me as I see the end so near but yet far.

All aboard! OT enthusiasts, the train is in motion; let the journey take you where you long to be, free your thoughts of the world you once knew, and as destiny unfolds, rising above the heavy storms, flooding derails the route to the top of the mountain.

The edge is calling as I jump into the uncertainties of a young and perplexed student the chaos shouts and fights for its existence. When I started in occupational therapy, I was introduced to the framework of being, belonging, and doing. I have seen the wilderness soon become my home, identifying the commonalities and the installation of hope as I mature and learn in the journey of OT. Why did I jump? Well, the darkness engulfed me whole, fear developing into confidence. Still, through the supervision of my lecturers, and academic advisors, they became my lighthouse, guiding me as I found myself in what OT means to me and the first building block of a future practising professional. The link below to read more on the framework:

Raising the white flag was not in my rucksack as I embarked on the hike toward becoming the therapist I envision becoming. Hesitancy and self-doubt took over, which was implicated in how I carried myself in a session and later progressed to a chasm in treatment planning. Therefore, limiting the therapeutic opportunities to learn and teach the client to achieve treatment outcomes. When I encountered a difficult, culturally centred, unwilling, and egocentric client, I saw the anxiety and poor self-esteem protruding through the façade displaying my personal shortfalls became a great wall in achieving therapeutic goals. Moreover, poor cultural humility due to the lack of knowledge of the core principles in Nazareth Baptist Church contributed to the noncompliance and poor initiation, and cooperation.

The demands of OT motivate professional development and highlight the importance of cultural aspects of what we do and how they affect the quality of care, treatment outcomes and planning. We reside in a culturally rich country that enforces continuous learning, ensuring client-centeredness and a stepping stone to achieving cultural humility without our prejudices clouding our decisions, clinical judgment, and duty.

Belonging entails the prospect of self-actualization, which is comprised of three components: becoming, being competent, and becoming a social being. To effectively participate in active occupational roles, positive interpersonal relationships, and sustainability, you must indulge in introspection and reflection on your own performance, advocate for change, or redefine values. My greatest shortfall was the detachment process becoming a bumpy uphill switchback ride permeated by the power imbalances creating seas of high tides engaging at initial contact. When faced with adversity in an attempt to build a positive rapport I began to redefine the core values and detach from my moral compass to comprehend my client’s choices by not only hearing but listening to respect their right of choice to refuse therapy, and not equating it to my inadequacies.

To connect the dots and comprehend what we do, we developed the understanding of being evidence-based practitioners, rooting out what makes us therapeutic through clinical reasoning. It is the blueprint for what makes us person-centred. My take-home message is to allow myself to not be driven by fear of the unknown, as failure opens doors for growth. Growth can be attained through exploring the knowledge of those before us in literature to take a page that will shape the therapist I will soon be. Read more on evidence-based practice:

I believe as students we have evolved and inherited the default accountability syndrome, easily shifting the blame on circumstance rather than ourselves. They say Rome was not built in a day; some fell and gave in to the demand, but Rome still stands to this day, indicating you may fall, but dust yourself off and try again.

How would you see the beauty of this world if you were not fighting to reach the top?

This quote reminds us that success is not an overnight phenomenon, but rather a result of consistent effort and resilience. There are no shortcuts or instant gratification on the road to success. Instead, it's about embracing the process, staying committed, and having the determination to take each step forward. Every step you take, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goals. So, trust in the journey, find inspiration in each new stride, and keep climbing those metaphorical stairs. Success awaits those who are willing to put in the effort and persistently pursue their dreams. 🌟💪

"The only person who can save you is yourself, don't rely on anybody else!"

Actually, what has saved me is books and my favourite video game and my cats and my friends who I've shared late nights and too-early mornings with and the dew-covered grass I walked on on the way to a competition bus in ninth grade band and the sunburn that kept me out of school for days the month prior.

I understand the viewpoint of how you are ultimately the person who can save you, but don't discount that you aren't an island. You aren't meant to be your sole savior. Let others save you, too. You are worth the care and love the universe has for you.
