#TOTS about BUKNOY
“To the world, we may be a single human being, but to an individual we may be the world”
Buknoy, my plant, is really a healthy plant up to present. I make sure that its state will be more fruitful as time goes by. While I’m taking care of my plant, I realized that Buknoy really represent as my future patient when I become an Occupational Therapist. The feeling of being an Occupational Therapist, giving loving service my plant and sooner with my future client and putting my own feet in their shoes is such a heart-warming act of goodness to others. It is a great gift for me to see what the greatest thing of someone or something would have. As I’m taking care of Buknoy, a simple act of caring can really touch someone or something. Just like what parents would tell when they give their children a present, “Maging masinop ka lang sa mga bagay na binibigay sayo, hindi sila bibigay sayo.” We must take good care of the littlest things in the world with or without needs because everything in this world deserves to be loved and cared. As long as I’m seeing the progress of my plant and it’s a developing process, I’m very gratified to see it. What I feel in the first semester is similar to what I feel in the present time as I look after Buknoy. It’s because I was really happy in the first time I take good care of this plant, so what’s the point of being sad in the present, right? As long as I see that my plant is really proving myself that I’m a green thumb person then it’s a tickle in my heart that I made that plant happy just like the other plants.
