To me, professionalism is....
To me, professionalism is....
Professionalism is the word we hear everyday when it comes to the world of working. Its an idea that we strive for, a concept we preach, a theory of how we can succeed in a world where nothing is guaranteed. But what does it mean to me? You're probably expecting a general answer, or a standard textbook one ( am talking about professionalism, right?) but definition doesn't resonate with everyone. Professionalism is being emotionally secure in the workplace, mentally mature, and empathetic towards others within your environment.

✨Career Statement✨
✨Career Statement✨
I can put it in simple terms, I want to be an occupational therapist. When my brother was born, he had a life threatening heart condition which meant he had to go in for surgeries at a young age, prohibiting his growth. After seeing how amazing the occupational therapists were with him and how much he improved under them, I decided that that was going to be what I wanted to do in order to help more kids like him. I want to attend University of Arkansas and major in psychology before studying occupational, then hopefully moving to a beachside town and work in the industry.
✨Current Experience✨
✨Current Experience✨
While i work at Mountain View Therapy, i also am employed at Piel Morena as a cashier and store runner on Saturdays. I have worked as a Climbing intern for Nature connection and a camp counselor at outer range school., which has given me valuable experience in managing and working with children as well as parents. I am also currently working at Grace Community Church as a babysitter. These odds and ends jobs have provided me with the ability to adapt quickly to any situation as well as preform well without constant vigilance from bosses, as usually i was left to myself to figure out what i needed to without clear directions. I have experience with working long hours and handling unpleasant situations, as well as gained the ability to self motivate and handle stressful situations.

1) Staying on task and focused.-
I wanted to be motivated to do or achieve something because of my own enthusiasm or interest as well as self-motivated on doing assignments and tasks assigned to me. I wanted to pay particular attention to what needed to be accomplished in the moment and stay engaged on the tasks that the occupational therapists were preforming. I wanted to extract as much as possible from the experience.and wanted to give my upmost attention to whatever was happening around me which is something i struggle with. This is especially important for workplace conduct as it shows your employer that you are engaged in the actions of the company as well as a person who is driven to preform better which is a strength we all wants to showcase.
2)Assertiveness
2)Assertiveness
The dictionary describes assertiveness as having or showing a confident and forceful personality. While i strive to be more confident, to me its more about voicing my opinion when i can add to the situation as well as contributing and sharing my thoughts and ideas towards a certain goal. I wanted to be educated enough to add to the conversation as well as contribute to the workplace environment instead of just being a bump on a log. I wanted to insert myself into situations (when appropriate) and voice my questions in order to gain more knowledge without being embarrassed or feeling like a nuisance . This also signals to your boss that you are learning ,listening, and are invested enough to voice your comments and shows that you are in tune with the workplace environment.
3) Time management
3) Time management
I wanted to have the ability to use one's time effectively or productively, especially at work. I struggle with time management and that leads me to be behind on schoolwork and home lifestyle. With this intership, i wanted to practice like i was in real life, and pretended like i would risk getting fired. i adapted by introducing stratagies that would help me get to the internship on time as well as turning things in on time. I did struggle with this but i pulled through and turned my stuff in on time mostly, and arrived on time to my internship every day and on time. I let my supervisior know if i wasn't going to be there and we practiced good communication skills. This shows your boss that you care about the postion and being on time is a skill you will use for the rest of your life.
