How did you become interested in your area of study? What motivates you to continue learning about your career?
When I was studying at school I didn't know my career, but I knew that I wanted to work in health area and I liked it. First I wanted to become a doctor, because I didn't knew other way to help the people in this area, and didn't know very well other careers that be alike.
Thinking about what kind of help did I wanted to give to people I realized that it wasn't necessary to do big things like saving persons lives, but doing other kind of things that help to them to keep living even though they become handicapped, because is too difficult to live with the consequences of an accident, for example.
Saving a person life is not enough because with all the problems they may have later, their lives are going to get very hard and in many times they don't want to live any more.
There are many ways to help the people from the occupational therapy, and this is one of the reasons I have to learn more things about my career, because if I become a good Occupational therapist I will have more tools to do well my job and give to the people a good help.
