I'm finished with the academic part of my degree. I'm on placement now. It's going quite well, actually. I'm doing a placement, working with people who have permanent disabilities. It has put me in an interesting position ... as if they value what I have to say because I've been there, done that. I guess, working in the medical field, that is always going to be something that I will have to consider. That my opinion will be taken as someone with experience, not just the knowledge. That also puts an additional responsibility on me. That I am a role model. That's ok. But I want to make sure that I live up to that. And be a good role model, and not someone with a negative attitude.
