Glyph Reflection

I was surprised to see how different my Glyph drawing was from the beginning of OT school. The aspects that were different were the: head shape, eye size, hat, eyelashes, and written name. The head shape was the most surprising to me, because I did not even second guess how I felt about it this time and thought for sure that it would be the same as last time. I think that leadership can be influenced by both nature and nurture, but I think more people have the natural ability to lead a group and that it is harder to work at it. One my first glyph drawing, I drew large eyes, but this time I drew small eyes. After over a year and a half of OT school, I definitely think that OT is made up of a bunch of leaders, but I do not think that the vast majority would classify as leaders. I added a hat this time because I believe that my approach to leadership has changed since starting OT school. We have learned so many different ways that someone can be a leader in OT that I would not have thought about in the beginning, such as being a leader with your client. Setting an example for them on how to view therapy and the sessions with you is a way you can influence someone without being in a "typical" leadership role. While the typical leadership roles are out there in OT, we have definitely learned new ways as well. I knew that the eyelashes were going to change when I read the prompt because I could not come up with the Strengthfinder themes but I knew that I would have known them at the time of the first drawing.
The aspects that stayed the same were: glasses, curly hair, smile, ears, nose, freckles, eyebrows, and necklace/accessory. I was not surprised by any of these, because I felt pretty confident in my opinion on each of them. This was a cool assignment that I honestly forgot we did in the beginning; it really feels like a life time ago that we started school. I was very interested to see how some of my opinions changed and how some of them stayed the same.
