  • Blog Post: Setting the Bar High

    One thing I always find fascinating in life is- the company you are with could play a role in determining who you are in the setting you are in. I find it pretty true during my OT school experience so far. For example, the fact that I ran for the Assembly of Student Delegates led me to eventually know...
  • Blog Post: 4 more days of keeping my silence... oh great!

    When I saw the blog post that the AOTA elections will be extended 4 more days due to the fact that the site needs maintenance, I was like, "Oh great!" I say that not because of the fact it's 4 more days... but the fact that it is going to drag on to my birthday, which is the day before...
  • Blog Post: Dealing with Long Train of Failures.

    With the latest loss in the AOTA elections, it marked that I am 0 for 3 in OT leadership elections this school year. I was upset not because I lost the election (although that stings, too), but the fact that I wasn't rewarded for the fact that I am a changed man in being more responsible for my future...
  • Blog Post: My thoughts on the ASD elections

    I am a gamer at heart and hate losing on things that I am good at as much as Tiger Woods hates bogeys on his scorecards. But, one thing I am working very hard on (which has been putting through practice quite a couple times in OT school already) is being a graceful loser. This ASD elections, believe...
  • Blog Post: AOTA Conference

    I have officially registered to go to the upcoming year's AOTA conference... woot! Predictably, because of the fact that I have to wait for certain variables to clear up, I have neither booked my flight nor my hotel room yet. Yes, I will be bummed about missing some of the end-of-year festivities...
  • Blog Post: 2010 AOTA Elections

    If you don't know this before, you will know now. I am currently running for the President position of the Assembly of Student Delegates in AOTA. Unlike the formal email some (if not most) of you might have probably receive, I am going to do it in an informal way. Yes, my resume is not as impressive...
  • Blog Post: Election Fever

    I have friended a lot of this year's Assembly of Student Delegates Steering Committee candidates both on here and/or Facebook. So, it was no surprise that when the calendar switched from the year 2010 to 2011, a good bit of them started their campaigning efforts, or election fever as I call it. Blog...
  • Blog Post: If OT Profession Can Ever Take a Page Out of This Book

    I think there is a good bit of you who have heard not only Dr. Clark, but also other previous AOTA presidents speak about the issue of advocacy for students and professionals. Well, the video above is actually a great example of how our pixel power can be in action. Sure, it is in Hong Kong and they...
  • Blog Post: That's one way to put OT on the map

    Autism is a highlighted part of our centennial vision, which is about 6 years away. Aside from delivering high quality interventions and researching for performing research for better evidence based practice, another thing we in the OT community (practitioners and students) have to do is actually reaching...
  • Blog Post: OT conferences this month

    This April is sure different from last April. Aside from being more well known amongst OT students, I feel like I have (if not will be) become a live case study for OT and practitioners alike. I am already went to my state's OT Symposium last weekend and will be attending the AOTA conference next...
