After hearing Fletcher Cleaves story last week, I have
thought a lot about his story and his overall outlook on life. He told us how
his doctor was discouraging and how everyone doubted him and his ability to
recover, and for me, this was frustrating. As a future health profession, I think it is
so important for us to motivate our clients, so that in the rehabilitation
process they will be encouraged to their best. Even though Fletcher had an
accident that completely altered his life, he has such a positive outlook on
life. For him to have come out of this recovery process, and decided to share
his story to others is inspiring. He ended his speech with this statement; “Don’t
tell your clients to reach for the stars when there’s footprints on the moon.”
I think I will always remember that statement and I am so thankful he came and
spoke to our class.
