Professionalism

As I was walking home today, I can't help but smile to myself. I feel (thick skin a little today) that I have grown in my professionalism at work. What got me smiling was that I could ask my client, a family, about how they do family planning - Condoms, Contraceptive pills, Birth control patch, Ligation, etc - WITHOUT feeling embarrassed.

I used to hate asking this question. I often think that
they will feel "Why is this young gal trying to ask me about my sex life?" However, along the way, I learnt : When I have to ask, I HAVE to ask. Sometimes, I just have to ask the obvious. (Of course in a subtle and gentle way la!!)

Well.. I guess we do learn how to be more trained as days/weeks/months go by... Trained to be more thick skin. Now.. Does Social Workers portray as a KPO now? Haaaaa...!
