three other classmates and I would plan various activities to do with the kids with
multiple back up plans. This enforced problem solving skills, time management
skills, and collaborative communication skills.
March, 2015 I participated in TUN Big Game again TUN California where I
was a dancer as well as a cheerleader for the basketball team and represented my
cohort. For this position, I was required to attend weekly practices, Tuesday and
some Saturdays, where we learned a choreographed dance and multiple cheers. I
helped organize the team and provided feedback to the choreography of the dance,
uniform, and overall performance of the dance. Lastly, my tutoring experience
expanded my leadership abilities as I was not only a teacher to 3 members of
cohort 2017 but also because I was a mentor and role model to these individuals.
Although tutoring was a financial benefit, it was not the only reason I took on the
job. I wanted to teach the knowledge that I have acquired as a student at TUN, be a
mentor and role model to the students, and overall motivate and support their
journey of becoming an occupational therapist.
After spending three weeks in a leadership class, I can see how much I have
grown as a leader since the beginning of my time at TUN. My professors have done
a great job in motivating us all to be leaders within our profession and have
provided additional understanding as to what makes up a good leader. After
completing almost two years at TUN, I have developed many leadership qualities
that I will take with me as an entry level practitioner. This excites me now, as a
student, because I plan on one day holding a managerial position as well as owning
my own practice, which requires strong leadership abilities. I have learned a lot
about myself throughout my journey at TUN and I can say not only do I have what it
takes to be a leader in whatever position I hold, I also know what a true leader looks
like as I seek out my first occupational therapy job.
