Working closely with the elderly has taught me to connect with them not just as patients, but as individuals with unique stories and needs.

Through daily conversations, I improved my communication skills—learning to listen with empathy, respond with patience, and build trust.

As a physiotherapist, this connection helped me go beyond treatment plans to truly understand each person. I dealt with complex cases like stroke rehab and chronic pain, which pushed me to adapt and grow. With guidance and feedback, I became more confident in my clinical decisions and creative in finding ways to motivate and support my patients.

​

This journey has been more than just gaining technical skills. It’s helped me grow into a more compassionate and knowledgeable physiotherapist. I’ve learned to see beyond the diagnosis, and I’ve realized how much the elderly can teach us—about resilience, patience, and the importance of human connection in healing.

When I first started my career as a nurse, I was nervous and unsure of myself. With time, experience, and support from my colleagues, I became more confident in handling different situations, especially during emergencies.

Every patient I’ve cared for has taught me something valuable—not just medically, but emotionally too. Nursing is more than just giving medications or checking vitals; it’s about being present during a person’s most difficult moments.

I’ve comforted patients in pain, supported families through grief, and shared small moments of joy and relief. These emotional experiences have shaped me into a more compassionate and resilient nurse.

I never expected this work to change me the way it has. When I first started as a physiotherapist, I thought I was simply here to help others heal. But over time, I realized—I am the one being healed. Every patient who fights their way back from the impossible teaches me something new about resilience, hope, and the quiet strength of the human spirit. And in those fragile, triumphant moments, I find my own purpose.

​

From bed-bound to walking independently, from silence to sharing their voice—I cherish every small victory. Nothing compares to the joy of witnessing their progress. When a patient thanks me, ready to leave with renewed strength, it breaks me in the best way: my heart swells, and the tears come without warning. This is why I do what I do.

​

These patients have been my greatest teachers. They’ve shown me that healing is not linear—it’s a mosaic of setbacks and breakthroughs, patience and grit. They’ve taught me that the human spirit is unbreakable, even when the body falters. And most of all, they’ve reminded me that my role isn’t just to treat, but to witness—to hold space for their struggle, and to honor their courage as they reclaim their lives. These lessons will stay with me long after they’ve walked out the door.
