Realizations
3. What did I learn or realize during this time while taking care of this plant?
There are several things I have learned during my 2nd month of taking care of Renzy. I was able to engage with other people in order for me to know new ways on how to properly give care to my plant. Collaboration is essential for a team to work on because through this, you would be able to align your goals and thus making your task easier and doable. Another realization would be, everyone should be ready. You would never be able to predict what will happen next with the weather or with the environment; that is why we should already envision possibilities and prepare for emergencies. Just like when there was a weather forecast that it will rain hard, I immediately visited my plant and transferred from the top to the second level so that the poured rain fall would not drown my plant easily. Lastly, I realized that we should always be client-centered. Wherein you would set your activities and goals for your client, and how your client is right now. Of course, you would also need to talk with your client regarding your goals for their sessions. With that, you would be able to understand how your client is and perceive its situation.
I just want to share that this project has led me to envision myself as an Occupational Therapist. Being one is really amazing because you get to work with different people from all walks of life and you’ll get to fulfill their goals for themselves. An Occupational Therapist also has opportunities to be creative with how they interact while catering to their therapy sessions. I know that it will be hard today but I’ll just need to envision my goals in life and how I’ll be able to restore and rehabilitate conditions of people in need.
