For our third week of clinical, my group and I presented on the topics of heart attack stroke, and heart disease at DOF. As a group, we were able to inform the group of men, with information that they would be able to think about and remember as they continue on with their lives. After DOF, we headed to Goodwill. As we spent time with the clients at Goodwill, I hanged out at one of the tables, where I spent some time looking at semi-truck photos with a client. It was nice spending some time with the client and getting to see the kind of photography he likes. The last part of clinical took place at Heartland Senior Center. At Heartland, we had the chance to complete assessments on two clients and practice writing progress notes. The clinical day was a success as I learned new things, had fun at Goodwill, and practiced my assessment skills.…

As a young boy growing up in a rural town (Dublin, VA) in Southwest Virginia, the furthest thing from my mind was “learning styles”. We had one stop light, a tight knit community where everyone knew everyone. The only learning we concerned ourselves with consisted of the lake, the river and the local church grounds. We went fishing, we liked to swim and participate in local sports activities (whatever sport that was relevant at the time) against local neighbor kids. Our learning was not about how we learned; it was about fitting in and learning how to be a great fisherman and a good athlete. What was important was fitting in both socially and athletically. I came from a family where education wasn’t important. The community, working hard and making a living were the important aspects of life. Learning style and school were the furthest things from my mind. However, once I started high school it all changed, I realized I had a dream to pursue.…

The verbal and non-verbal speaking anxiety signs I noticed in myself was that I kept fidgeting, and touching my hair or face. I felt the rate of my speaking was too fast and I was stuttering.

Do not overthink any speech or presentation or try to impress my audience.…
