October 13th- October 20th
This past week, I decided to change my
field of study from chiropractic medicine to physical therapy. After an
interview on Wednesday, the Michael Johnson Performance center has offered me
an incredible opportunity to do an internship at their center in McKinney.
On Friday after school, I met with Principal Warstler and spoke to him
about changing my Liberty class schedule to accommodate everything I
want to get out of the MJP experience. After volleyball season is over,
in approximately 2 weeks, I will be change my schedule so I have ISM all day on
A days and have my core classes on B days. This will allow me
to have an internship with a mentor physical therapist and a workout session
all in the same facility on A days. My schedule will be finalized on
November 4th and I will be able to begin my internship on that date as well.
In addition, the internship will offset the cost for my workouts.
I am very excited about this incredible opportunity!
On Wednesday I worked on my topic proposal.
This was challenging to do because after I met with the directors and trainers
at MJP my topic of study changed. I had to research the difference between
physical therapist and chiropractors. There are a few differences but in
reality they are more similar than they are different. They both help people who are in pain return to their healthy, normal activities.
