Looking back four years ago, I remember being a
young, enthusiastic student eagerly anticipating the
start of university life. It is always my pleasure to
share my experiences with current CKY students, as I
hope to provide valuable insights and inspiration to
everyone. Currently in my fourth year at a local
university, I am pursuing my dream of becoming a
physiotherapist. I have worked in various settings to
enrich my clinical experiences, including hospitals,
private clinics, sports teams, and community centres.
Physiotherapy has become the focal point of my life.
Sometimes, acts of kindness do not have to be grand
gestures; even a warm smile and a small act of care
can leave a profound impact on others. I vividly recall a
patient I encountered who had suffered a stroke,
resulting in severe impairment of his right limbs and
speech (dysphasia). From the moment I approached
him, I could sense his frustration and despair
regarding his current situation. Upon assessing his
condition, I knew I couldn't improve his condition
significantly; instead, my role was to preserve his
function and prevent muscle deconditioning.
Throughout the rest of his treatment, I offered
unwavering support, care, and encouragement. While
no miracles occurred, at least he was able to leave the
hospital with a smile on his face.
This experience taught me the
importance of never underestimating
the impact of our actions. Our positivity,
energy, and even the smallest acts of
kindness can greatly influence
someone else's journey.
"Small acts make a big impact."
