SUBJECT: OLIVIA’S GOALS
THOUGHT:
In the past few months a lot have happened to me mentally and physically, but I’m ready to move past it all. Below is a list of goals I have going for myself, a couple of which needs your assistance and approval.

MENTAL HEALTH:
Therapy: Personally, I know I still need therapy because I havent gotten a hand completely on how to handle my paranoid thoughts or hallucinations. I realize that my triggers are feeling overwhelmed/ excessive stree (whether internal or external), my nightmares, lack of sleep and lack of activity (my mind has too much free time to go wild). I hope to one day be able to reach the point where I only need therapy once or twice a month. For right now, I feel that I actually need it twice a week. I feel this way because therapy is an outlet for me to get all the thoughts that has been running my mind out and get advice on how to get a handle on whats going wrong for that week because at the moment I dont

I have way too much going on right now so I hope that the Lords Place can be patient with me. I know I’ve been here two years already but I have been trying. With my mental and physical health I just dont feel like its time to be trying to get hired yet because I wont be able to hold a job down. However, I do need some sort of activity so I’ve come up with the idea of helping Ms. Dana run a group for the older kids on campus. I’ve already expressed to her that I am interested in being able to teach and be apart of the kids support system in a small way. I would like the responsiblity of being able to help run a group for the kids that is based on teaching them life skills and being a listening ear for them and much more. I was thinking it can be once a week or maybe every other week. I really want to be involved in our community. This idea would give me a chance to gain experience, face my fears, live up to my potential, be active and

    I have never been one to spring at opportunities that involved working with kids simply because I was disinterested. In the summer of 2015, my disinterest was turned into a passion when I met the children from Broadlawn. Broadlawn is a public housing community in my city and my church wanted to intercede and help their community. Our church decided that every Tuesday throughout the summer we would go out to Broadlawn to eat, talk, and play with the kids from the neighborhood. After some nagging from friends and family, I decided to tag along one Tuesday to help.…

    If I could turn my passion into a successful business it would be a small school for the arts. I think it is a good idea because there are many people who love the arts like I do and the small school would be where they go to learn more. You can love music and not know what a time signature is but, if you went to a class about music then you could learn much more. There are many students that love the arts however they are not given the opportunity to take art class, dance,music class,or drama at their schools, this would given them the chance. The way I would start my business would be to go to school for business but continue doing the arts along with working to save money.…

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve known that I not only wanted to help people, but that I wanted to make a difference in peoples lives. When I found occupational therapy I knew that it was the job I wanted to commit myself to, because it provides so many opportunities to do just that. I saw a quote once by Kelly Andrasik, that said: “I finally decided on occupational therapy because I knew that this field would allow me to help those who feel like they have lost everything’ and I couldn’t have agreed more. It is easy to take our everyday task for granted; it isn’t until we lose them that we realize how important they are.…

    A few days before my senior night attending Cimarron-Memorial an event was held for all senior graduates on campus. Family and friends were invited to an event to gather around and converse about special events coming up and discussions with students about their accomplishments. A microphone was passed around and we were scared to say a few words, if any that we wanted to share. I had no intentions of saying anything, as I usually tend to opt out of any self- acknowledging or appraisal in front of large groups as thee is always a chance of giving a wrongful self-absorbed impression, which I find not becoming of a working professional.…

    One goal I wish I had worked a little harder towards would be my participation in class discussions. I have always been really shy and especially quiet in class. Oftentimes I would know the answer to a question or have an idea, but not matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to raise my hand. I wish I had improved on this skill because in the upcoming years, it will become crucial for me to participate in class discussions. Another goal that I did not meet was improving my nonverbal delivery skills.…

    In preparation last year, for my freshman year at St. John 's University, I was filled with anxiety: the kind that fills you with anticipation, but also leaves you imagining the worst. I was excited to immerse myself into my courses, and gain enlightenment, and satisfied my curiosity. I was looking forward to meeting my professors, who I expected to fully sate my hunger to learn, and also leave me wanting to further investigate my passions, both known and unknown. Not to mention, I would be studying in New York - a bustling place, characteristically different, and refreshing compared to my home state of Maryland. I was faced with an opportunity to surround myself with different minds and cultures, and hopefully grow as an individual, from all that I would experience, and hopefully coming into my own.…
