ABSTRACT
Appreciating and beginning to understand who the people are as individuals and professionals is the very start of any reflective and academic journey. There are possibly many occasions in their life the people have had to bounce back and there will be many more as they start a new academic and/or vocational journey. Compassion is best described as moral responses to any child or young person in certain situations, for example it may be that as a practitioner the people are faced with a situation that requires they to support a young child, adult or family member that is facing inequalities, harm or bereavement. Trust is something which the people need to build with their very young children and their families from day one and is foundation of professional integrity. This chapter has taken the people on adventure of self-discovery, exploring their values and beliefs, attributes, courage and self-awareness, before the people begin to locate themselves within written reflective accounts.
