Did I make the wrong move?
After knowing that my class is becoming smaller and smaller, I been to think whether OT is for me. Kristy is leaving the class as she feels that OT is not the course for her, she would want to be either a teacher or a prison offficer. I admired her for the courage to leave after 1 semester.
As for the rest, Arpita is leaving but she is still studying OT overseas. As for Eunice, she will be joining next year as year 1 OT student. Wish her all the best!
So much about others, what about me? Well, as most of you all know, my greatest ambtion is still to join the SPF. My concern here is that do I still want to join SPF after I graduate from this course and perhaps after my degree conversion? I think my answer is yes... but I not very certain to this answer of mine.
This must perhaps link back to why I want to study OT in the 1st place. Well, I guess it is because I want to join SPF in the first place and wanted to get a degree b4 I go in.
Secondly, I do not want to get a degree for the sake of getting one, thus leading me to choose this course as perhaps what Dr. Uma has always say, "as a stepping stone". At this very moment, I do not know if I'm making the right move. I do enjoy this course but some of the modules are really hard for me. At the same time, I do believe that with little more effort, I can make it.
Perhaps the only obstacle now is my attitude towards OT as a profession. I really do not know if i want to study OT after i graduate. The only solution to this i guess is wait till my clinical attachments and see if i really like the job. Perhaps that is only the best time to decide if I want to take up OT as a profession or taking OT as a stepping stone to get a degree to get into SPF.
We shall wait and see.
Take care friends!
