So history repeats itself - when life gets busy, I neglect the blog... let me fill you in... I completed my second 12 week fieldwork, the one in mental health. I cried (go figure). I will treasure the card the clients signed - their short goodbye sentiments reflected their personalities perfectly. Even though the 12 weeks stretched me beyond my breaking point, the challenges made for a rich experience. I miss the sweet and feisty clients alike. I actually miss the feisty clients the most - can you relate? The ones I was losing sleep over and weathering storms with were the ones I built strong bonds with... ironic.. I often wonder how they're doing. They left their mark on me for sure.. I studied for my boards exam. I poured my heart into learning, memorizing, connecting knowledge to experiences.. I took 2.5 hour practice tests, read rationales for each answer.. I watched YouTube videos with anatomy animations. Videos on the lived experience with cerebral palsy...
