As a topic of study this year, I am interested in learning about Exercise Science. At the beginning of the year my only desire was to learn about chiropractic medicine. After multiple research interviews, I have decided to switch my field of study to something less routine. Specifically, I would like to learn about Athletic Physical Therapy.
I have been an athlete since the age of 3. My father ran track at The University of South Carolina where he met my mom, who was also played for the Gamecocks, on the volleyball team. Being around athletes my entire life has given me an enormous amount of exposure to the good and bad moments in sports. The good being an athlete playing at his/her peak with the optimum amount of biomechanical training. On the other hand, I have also had a lot of experience with injuries. I understand how important it is to prevent injuries and how urgent it is to help heal injuries.
I have found that I really enjoy the social aspect of a physical therapist’s daily schedule. I am a very outgoing person and I have a desire to meet new people every day. Being in the Frisco Independent School District for 12 years has taught me many things. In my opinion, the most important concept I've learned is that I never want to be on a routine schedule. I never want to be in a job where I sit at my office desk all day and count the hours before it is time to clock out. I want a job where everyday is different. I want face new challenges and enjoy a new adventure each day.
