Case Study: My Favorite Activities And Interests

When I spoke with Marko, and asked him about what are his favorites activities and interests; he told me that he is not participating in any of sport activities in school and outside the school neither, he explained me that sport activities are not interesting for him, but that he has few interests. He is interesting in playing video games, and he likes to draw, since he is expressing his thoughts and feelings through drawing (McLeod, 2013). The second participant was a male. His name is Ivan. Ivan is a 32 years old. He is working as a psychologist. He is smart, handsome, patient, calm type of person, respectable in his work and he has few friends around him.

Ivan was never criticized strongly, so he has strong self-esteem and he is very sure in his own abilities.

However, there are also healthy children who can tell us lots while playing. We can be surprised how much we can find out just by watching them playing. But, for me it is better to work while speaking with children and adults. I enjoy when I can ask many questions and then hear the answers in detail explained. As I am interesting in clinical and counseling psychology it is actually understandable that I prefer formal chatting then informal one. To end this section, I would like to point out that the course "Play, Fantasy and Reality" was an amazing subject to take.

For every section she gave me a feedback with explanations why something went wrong and even when I got full credit for my assignment she provide me great explanation. Every chapter in this course was extremely interesting and I enjoyed in every minute going thought the course. I can tell I learned something new, and I am very
