    Madison-

    It sounds like you had a great experience and learned so much! It is so awesome that you had the opportunity to educate a client, and even more awesome that she asked to change her routine because of it! It is also so great that you feel so much more confident in you documentation skills! That is something that I want to continue developing as we begin to prepare more for our level II fieldwork rotations. I can't wait to hear all about your experience!

    Madison,

    Your rose is such an exciting thing to hear as a fellow student. We can occasionally feel as if we don't know enough to really make a difference with some clients, but we actually know much more than we think. That is awesome that you providing education to the client changed her routine within the facility! I agree that I feel much more comfortable with documenting now that we have been exposed to it during three different rotations. I can always improve and gain more experience, but it doesn't seem as daunting anymore. I also agree that I need to practice more transfers when we get back to campus in order to better prepare for my level 2 fieldworks. I assisted with a couple transfers this rotation, but I could definitely use a good refresher on the many transfers. I can't wait to hear more about your fieldwork! Great job again!

Trevor has been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The two become great friends through spending countless hours together, and Ben begins to notice that Trevor has created a map of locations across the country that he would love to travel to. That leads to the process of Ben talking Trevor's mother into taking him on a road trip across the country to see landmarks such as the World's Deepest Pit. Along the way, they pick up a couple of friends who need a ride and all bond through simply accepting, including, and caring for one another. Although Ben is fighting personal battles of his own, including his son's death and wife's desire for divorce, he finds purpose, friendship, and joy in being Trevor's caregiver. The two become inseparable, and the movie ends with them making it to the Worl...

Reflection on Imposter Syndrome

The imposter syndrome is a term referring to the psychological phenomenon where a person doubts his or her personal accomplishments and has a persistent, and often internalized, fear of being exposed as inadequate or a fraud. 70% of people have had an acquaintance with the symptoms of imposter syndrome anytime in their life, and it equally affects men and women. The 4 main symptoms of imposter syndrome, according to Lou Solomon, are anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and fear of failure. These symptoms all contribute to the fact that those experiencing imposter syndrome are convinced that they do not deserve the success that they have earned. Instead, they have begun to believe that their success if due to “luck” or “good timing”. This syndrome can actually become limiting to a person since those living with it are not highly likely to have the full courage go after new opportunities with confidence in their abilities, knowledge, skills, character, and worth. For anyone who is experie...
