Reflection:

 

I would like to be a recreation therapist, me being someone that deals with anxiety when a place is filled with so many people. I get it, it's kind of like you can't even see the people's faces anymore,  mostly all you feel is there voices talking over each other, the footsteps, and there shadows. But I overcame it, It doesn't bother me as much. So me being someone that has went through this, I feel like I have that knowledge of what it must be like dealing with these things, and I will be able to give better advice.
