Another change

What i have learned today is we need to move on.Exactly a year back i was departing from a place i have grown up in for almost 9 years,my almamater and i very well remember i was standing there on the stage giving a farewell speech in tears and today the same juniors who had cried for us were in tears for the new beginning of an end to a journey. I happened to be there for a while ,walking across the road from my work place to my home ,my GS.And there were too many thoughts running in my head.After a long professional turmoil last year post results,i had got in at TMH, a wonderful institute with stories of inspiration all around,valuing life more each day by seeing a constant battle between cancer and hope.I had made my mind on continuing to work by sacrificing on pay as i was prioritizing my work and enjoying it.I had joined in with lots of hope,ideas and expectations however at many moments i was filled with a sense of inefficiency in executing what i really wanted to and capable of, however i found joy in being a therapist and making someone smile,stand or walk confidently.I developed a different bond with many patients who came with hope for rehabilitation to me and i knew what matters to them most.In the meanwhile when i had thought of leaving the profession and taking up something else or probably going in for full time literature is when a patient told me what good therapy can bring a difference and that's when my well wisher reminded me of my skills.At many moments i long to be a medical doctor as being a surgeon and handling life was my dream and i wished to see myself in the OT gown and wondered if i could reverse time and change certain decisions.Since a very long time i was in this tiff but soon life made me realize if all medicos will save lives who will add quality to it rather who will rehabilitate and add life to years.And so i thought to myself may be i was destined to be an Occupational therapist and now my challenge is to learn ,grow and give quality service and bring the change.And to my surprise life gives me a new change,the AIIPMR where i never thought i would get in so easily but alhamdolillah its brought back all hopes again of learning and growing.
                                                 Moving ahead ,leaving behind Tata is hard for me,a short time but had developed some amazing memories with colleagues,seniors and patients but that's life we need to move on!
Today being my last working day,i was happy and sad both of leaving behind a lot but gathering some beautiful moments to cherish always.I am very lucky to be a part of this place and will always relate to.
