A day of viewing turned out to
be a day of reflecting. This happened when we were tasked to watch the movie “Freedom
Writers” and tasked to reflect upon it. I have watched this before but only now
did I realize the true meaning of the movie and how it can be applied to our
profession.
When watching the movie, I really
was moved with all the stories of the characters but what inspired me was the
determination of the teacher. Although people were against her actions and didn't
believe in the capabilities of the students, she showed her dedication in
helping the children and she never gave up on them. She introduced slowly what
caught the interest of students and built the discussion and lectures from
there. Not only that but she also opened a new world to the students where hope
is possible and someone, like them, went through what they were experiencing
then.
Not only did we watch a movie
but we were also given time to reflect and share our ideas to our group mates. It
was nice to know the views of my classmates as well as sharing mine and in the
end we all ended up in realizing our role as PTs. We are not only there to
treat but also to guide, and to empower our patients. We should be able to know
how to get their interest to be able to strive to perform better in their activities.
It is also important to find new ways to be able to help our patients and not
just be boxed with interventions in books.
I would remind myself to keep the patient/client’s interests before ours. I would advise myself to not
only keep these realizations in mind but also engrave it in my heart.
