michelelamare 0 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 My name is Michele Lamare and I am nearing the end of the MEPAP1-Own Pace course. It has taken my quite awhile to get through this course. I believe I started in February, but between having to find a new practicum advisor, working over 40 hours/week and just plain life, I have finally made it to the end of my final Practicum Packet. I started as an Activity Director in November and I am enjoying my new career change. I am never bored, but I found that my biggest adjustment has been dealing with all the residents we have lost over the past several months. It is so easy to become attached and then some quickly pass on. I realize now how important our profession is to so many of those that lose their independence and still need enjoyment and fulfillment in their ever expanding leisure time. I just hope as I become more experienced that I will be able to recognize people's wants, needs and abilities, but for now I am trying to take everything in.
