When I was younger, my dream was to be a doctor. I have always loved observing medical workers when I have appointments. I never really knew what I wanted to do in the medical field, but I have always been interested in Physical Therapy. Throughout my life, I have gotten injured during soccer and gymnastics. This lead to numerous Physical Therapy appointments. My Physical Therapist is a great lady who is passionate about her job. I am truly inspired by her and her hard work. Going into college, I did not want to start my studies off with something specific. I chose Psychology as my major for Freshman year. I chose this major solely because I knew it would allow me to explore different classes with science. Being in many science and psychology classes, I have found that I love science. I enjoy my science classes and I succeed in these classes. By next year, I will be changing my major to Health Science with a focus in Physical Therapy. If I continue doing well in my science classes, I believe I can succeed in the future. After college, my plan is to go to medical school. I hope to intern at a hospital so that I can grasp a better sense of what working in a hospital is like. My goal is to become a Physical Therapist for athletes. With my passion for sports and medicine, I believe this would be a great career for me. Working with athletes will allow me to connect and grow a relationship with each patient. Not only will I help the patients gain strength and hope back, I can also give advice about sports and how to stay healthy. I can see myself learning a lot more after college. My hope is to use my knowledge to help young athletes grow and stay healthy.
