A Start of Something New

                The day of March 16, 2015 was the start of something new and we started it with a bang. First, we did yoga and video critiquing in the morning and role playing in the afternoon. Generally it was tiring but I definitely enjoyed it.

                Honestly, the yoga class was a bit hard for me because I have a hard time stretching my joints and muscles. After all those hardships, I realized that yoga was all worth it. This is because I learned, through modeling, how one should teach a fitness exercise in front of a group of people. The next activity, video critiquing, is almost like reflecting about my good and my bad points when I taught a client in my video. Before this course, I thought that I did pretty well in that video clip but now I realized that I still have many points to improve on. Lastly is the role playing, I was quite confident about it because we always did patient-therapist simulated cases on our past courses. This time I was completely shocked with our patient’s case because we have a little background on our case and we do not know what to do. I then realized that I still need to study harder for the welfare of my patients or my students.

                There is no perfect teaching session and because of this, every day we must continue to reflect on ourselves, criticize our acts, and through these improve each and every upcoming session we have with our patients/students. We must strive hard to become better not just for ourselves but for our patients as well. These things, when done, can help us give our patients the best in our profession.
