       I watched this Ted talk video on youtube titled "Thriving in the Face of Adversity" which was by Stephanie Buxhoeveden. I chose this resource because the title caught my attention and i wanted to learn more after I read the summary about when she was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. In this TEDx Talk she spoke about her story of being 25 years and got into a nursing anesthesia school, and enjoyed working out to relax. one day while working out right foot fell asleep and never woke back up and the pain in few weeks, started to spread to the next. She swept it away and didn't pay attention. She realized she had no feelings from waist down one day as she was in the locker room getting ready. She started having problems with her arms and vision.

         I met a second-year medical student on campus during lunch time and she stopped and asked me what program I’m in. I told her I’m in the Occupational therapy program and she asked me what Occupational Therapy is and my motivation for becoming an OT practitioner. I began by stating to her that Occupational therapy is very client-centered and focuses on a holistic view of an individual and OTs work in many areas such as hospitals, schools, home health, skilled nursing facilities, etc. Occupational therapy focuses on daily occupations of their clients and not limited to what’s important to the client. Occupational therapy professionals evaluate, intervene and plan outcomes for their clients. I then went on to expand on a clearer explanation that as the practice of medicine adds more days to their client’s life, we focus on adding more life to the client’s days.   She asked me about my motivation for wanting to be an Occupational Therapy practitioner ...
