Parallels

Clinicals have finally come to an end. There was laughter, there were tears, there were the many memories. I've learnt so much. I thank God for every clinical attachment I've been to, I thank God for the trials, because only then will I be broken, only then will I learn. I cried because of the children. Because I learnt that I was weak, and I had no idea how to start, and what to do to help them.

That night I allowed myself to cry.

With red eyes and salty tears and snot running all over, I must have looked like a mess. Then it was time to Stop. Stop, because I couldn't keep on feeling all sorry for myself. Stop, because I had to go on, to make changes, to push myself further. I thought about God, and where my bigbig dreams fit in my life. I knew God wasn't gonna give up on me, so why should I?

Things did get better after that, i'm glad:) I'm far from being good, but it's a small step i've taken. It's a pat on the back tt says Good try!

Some of the kids..
She was real scared of going faster in her motorised wc. Afraid tt she'd fall and knock into things. I started playing a game of racing w her where I ran and she had to catch me or vice versa, or we would do a small competition to see who went faster. She sped on a 5 at the end and it made my day.

He's an adorable boy who loves thomas the engine and noddy and all things sweet and gentle. A gentle spirit is how I'd describe him. Loves to talk and he's so funny he makes everyone laugh. He told me I should be a queen instead of a king, then changed his mind and said I should be a princess and I could dance with the nutcracker. Then he blew me a kiss. I skipped my way to lunch.

He was uninterested in sessions. He was temperamental at times. But his playful nature surfaced when we (me, sup and him) competed in a one-leg hop competition in the living room. He is a hemi, but wow!. He won all the rounds ( i really tried my best to hop fast k! Either cos i'm getting old or cos I wore socks and the floor was tad slippery.) He was real happy in the end, haha well us too:)

Too many stories yea! I'm just really thankful for each clinical, cos I realise it makes my heart grow a little bigger each time:)
