Blog 8

·      What do your entries reflect about your values?

·      Are there themes/patterns of values that are consistent across all occupations? If so, describe them. If your activities reflect a wide range of values, describe them.

 Have you discovered anything about yourself and/or your valued occupations that you hadn’t realized before? Explain.

Based off previous entries, I value working with others which can be seen throughout all blogs and all occupations from being a mentor (helping clients overcome an issue such as their environment), soccer trainer (help others learn new skills that can be used on the field or life lessons), car salesman (help individual obtain a car), OTS (eventually working/helping others), and as a volunteer.

 In addition, I value occupations that requires a challenge such as money management/financial manager, trainer/mentor, car salesman and OTS. Looking at previous blogs, there is a consistent theme of helping/working with others and persevering through obstacles. Despite these obstacles, I’ve discovered that I thoroughly enjoy challenges and these values and others are needed to become an effective OT.
