During my capstone project I learned a lot about my self and developed skills for the future.

This project is relevant to me because I know a lot of counsellors in my family and it’s
something I wanted to do ever since I was a child.
The six Competencies
I learned and it took time to understand and how to use them efficiently

• Patient Care.

• Medical Knowledge.

• Practice-based Learning and Improvement.

• Interpersonal and Communication Skills.

• Professionalism.

• System-based Practice

My capstone impacted me because counselling I thought it wasn’t gonna be hard but when I
shadowed my aunt while she worked it was quite sad hearing some stories what’s going on in there
house hold. My process making this capstone come to life was a hard thing to do because it took a
lot of time and a lot of heart I put into this assignment. This topic of my capstone was really difficult
for me because I find it hard having to hear peoples story because I feel when they talk I just feel
connected to them in some way. I wish I could’ve changed my approach on this topic of the
capstone because I wasn’t that strong during some of the interviews because when someone cries it
just makes me feel emotional as-well. Start your capstone a bit earlier before its assigned to you.

University of Washington helped me so much because I found out a lot of information from there
sight and over the phone. I wish that I could listen to everyone’s story but they would feel
uncomfortable if another person is there listening to them talk about there personal life
