It also represented those from the same geographical entity working together to achieve a common purpose, and distinguishing that from ideas of individualism or social isolation (Day, 2006).

a great deal about 2nd-year practicum throughout the semester and I also stressed about the time and finding the agency fit with my time. The first week of at work was a very important time for me to establish a tone for what will happen the rest of the time and the foundation day of how I reduce all the anxieties and how to manage the work environment.
