A Career In Occupational Therapy
I am known to be dedicated and diligent in all that I do in academics and extra curricular activities such as marching band, swim team, clubs at school, volunteering in my community, and working a job. A guaranteed seat in the Occupational Therapy program would build my confidence and motivation, allowing me to focus on volunteering in facilities that incorporate Occupational Therapy services.

I would not have to look toward different avenues of study if I had a secured position. I always have and will continue to take my education seriously and work diligently in order to reach my goals and become an Occupational Therapist like I dream to be. For several years I have been looking toward a career in Occupational Therapy. I had first heard

    Becoming An Occupational Therapist

    My dream job is to become an Occupational Therapist. This is my dream job because I really enjoy helping people improve their lives. Being an Occupational Therapist could allow me to connect with people and impact their lives in such a positive way that no other job can really do. Since becoming a swim instructor and a lifeguard I have noticed how much I really enjoy being part of people's lives and helping them. It is especially exciting to see someone understand how to do something they never thought possible and to experience their joy with them. With being a lifeguard and knowing you have the ability to physically save somebody's life if necessary, it keeps you extremely interested and focused on your job and you want to come back everyday.…

    Occupational Therapy Assistant Case Study

    As my partner and I maneuvered around campus, we came across various barriers which would hinder the best performance of an individual in a wheelchair. For example, in Birch Hall we attempted to access the available study rooms, but the doors to the study rooms are made of thick glass, making the process of opening the door extremely difficult. Moreover, we traveled from the Birch building to the Hickory building, entering a steep path. We identified that a person in a wheelchair could potentially lose control as a result of the path’s downhill nature. In addition, when we reached the Hickory building, we found that the restrooms had no doors. Although, at first, this would appear to benefit an individual with a wheelchair, the walls curved…

    Occupational Therapy Assignment

    I believe this assignment will be practical to remember in my career as it just illustrates how important occupational therapy practitioners need to be client-centered. If I had to think of activity plans without talking to the client, I would have thought of activities to improve his range of motion. Even though this is a topic that needs improving, it was not what he wanted to work on first. He wanted to learn adaptions to be able to toilet independently, so he could do that kind of stuff while later improving his strength and range of motion. This helped me understand that even if you see a problem that you would think would need immediate attention, it may not be the what the client sees as an instant…

    A Career As An Adventure Therapist

    The career I think I would take pleasure in the most is an Adventure Therapist. I plan to achieve this and be working as an Adventure Therapist by the time I get out of college. I have the idea to go to University of Mississippi, but I am not one hundred percent sure that is the college I want to attend. It should take around four years in college for me to get my degree for this job and by then I will be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. To obtain this job I need my bachelor’s degree. For a strong background, I need to major in psychology or social work. I want to stay in Mississippi because I do not want to move away from my family and I like to be around familiar surroundings.
