3rd Person Autobiography

While working with them it is my desire to mentor and encourage them to strive for greatness in all areas of life, not just in their sport alone. It is my belief that athletics can easily become a student’s identity and when injuries occur many athletes are faced with the question of who they are and where they fit in. In these cases, I believe that I will be able to help them overcome their physical injuries through rehabilitation exercises and therapeutic modalities but I hope to support them through those struggles that are so common among student athletes. All in all, this is my life’s purpose and I hold strongly to the fact that I will begin to see it unfold as I start my graduate studies at Tarleton State University in the fall of

Growing up I was always exposed to the medical field because my mom worked in the emergency department in the local hospital. When I graduated high school, I got a job working in the construction field making a great salary, for as young as I was. Because of this, I continued to work in this field for the next eleven years. It wasn’t until I was 29 years old when I got laid off of my construction job and my whole world came crashing down on me. I moped around for a month but quickly realized that this is now my time to pursue my dream of becoming a Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). That next summer I enrolled at Aims Community College in

While a sophomore in high school, I had the opportunity to take a sports medicine elective class. At first, I was not too sure about it, but I thought I would give it a try and I ended up loving every second of the class, especially the hands-on experience. After taking both levels of the course, I learned a great deal about taping, special tests, the different treatment modalities, all the joints of the body and common injuries for each, as well as the different career options under the sports medicine umbrella. Since I enjoyed the course, I signed up for my school’s Athletic Training club where I was a student trainer for the wrestling and soccer teams. I worked alongside the school’s head athletic trainer to help tape, stretch, and provide first aid for the athletes both on and off the field. We also worked to provide and implement rehabilitation plans to help the athletes return to play after an injury. From this experience, I learned that I enjoy working with athletes and I wanted to pursue Athletic Training in college. After researching the different colleges in Georgia that offered

While growing up, there are innumerable decisions to be made and paths to take. As I am approaching the ending point of my high school career, I have finally found the correct one for me. I have known from a surprisingly young age that I wish to pursue a job in the medical field, and have taken a number of steps to help achieve this dream. I show tremendous passion for both my educational and career goals, and how to reach them. My future is incredibly important to me because through doing my job, I will also be achieving my biggest goal: saving lives.

Time flows like a river and you find yourself not thinking the way you used to as a child. As I grew older, my dreams and goals changed as well as my mindset on how to achieve those aspirations. Mercyhurst University’s Public Health Program is the main step toward helping me achieve my career goal of becoming a Registered Health Information Technician. I’d like to define success as many achievements and accomplishments, as well as the coming of knowledge for that which was unknown to one’s self. Therefore, there should never be an ending to a success story. It was when I graduated as a medical assistant that sparked the realization to what field I was most interested in.

Currently attending the University of Dubuque, this bright-eyed young man found himself falling in love with the health wellness and exercise science program. Dreams of being able to work with the NFL or NBA as a professional physical therapist. Keeping his head on right is allowing him to successfully get through his first semester strong and well-balanced. With his background in football itself, he knows the ins and outs of what makes a person who is an athlete tick. Being able to aid someone who is hurt,

Two years ago on a crisp October afternoon following school, I walked to the training room expecting a normal day for us. There would be the tapping of ankles, wrist, and thumbs, along with rehabilitation exercises and the whines and complains of athletes who would sit in the whirlpool for various injuries. After changing into sports medicine attire and putting my books up I was asked to take a framed object next door to the athletic director’s office. While patiently waiting for him to finish a meeting with

After volunteering with my sports medicine class at SoCal Physical Therapy, I was prompted to start a service project of my own. On weekends in 2014 and 2015, I volunteered as the sports medicine provider for a local youth football team. I provided first aid, preventative taping, injury evaluations, and on-the-field care under the supervision of a licensed paramedic. At the time, I do not think I understood the gravity of what I was doing. At fifteen years old, these coaches and parents entrusted their children with me

Her family consisting of four children, made every penny count due to the working-class incomes her parents had earned. ‘Family’ began to become a major significance for my mother, making her family members highly valued towards the termination of high school. However, graduating high school came with a new set of responsibilities for the eager teenager. Although she had a thirst for learning, her parents lacked the ability to supply her with the funds to attend college. Due to her hefty desire to learn, Lori endeavored day and night, waitressing, managing to produce the funds to grant herself a college education majoring in physical education. As a college graduate, with a degree in exercise physiology, she later advanced into a position within a cardiac rehabilitation center as an exercise physiologist. Business boomed, and success followed from client to client, as she toiled as a personal trainer. Meanwhile, a vigorous passion for studying cardiology rapidly formed within

My experiences and intellectual growth thus far have provided me with valuable knowledge related to the field of athletic training. While this knowledge has served me quite well as an undergraduate student at the University of Iowa, there are still areas that I wish to explore in depth to further develop my athletic training practice. In other words, my time as an athletic training student has helped to shape a variety of questions regarding different uses of manual therapies, injury prevention, and the psychological implications of various injuries. I believe an advanced graduate program will help me explore these questions and improve my patient care by allowing me to immerse myself in a new environment full of diverse learning opportunities. In addition to new environments, an advanced graduate program would introduce me to new people that

For years I’ve dreamt of a career in which I felt I was making a difference to the world, hence I am drawn to a career in Paramedic Science; given that paramedics are needed across the globe, they are in my opinion, one of the most crucial roles in the medical field. I have spent time volunteering at Acorn Village, a community for adults with learning difficulties; it was here I realised that a job that solely focussed on helping people was something I was immensely interested in and truly valued. I have greatly developed my interpersonal and communication skills as in a setting like Acorn Village, many residents communicate in a variety of ways and I adapted to fit the needs of the residents. Some of the roles I performed included helping the residents with their chores, cleaning their rooms and accompanying the more independent residents on trips and generally socialising with the service users.

"Take her away she's worthless if you want her have her." my "father" says drunkenly. They take me away as I am kicking and screaming and crying. My heart jumps as I wake up realizing it was a memory. I look around noticing the the hard concrete walls and floors, the smell of mildew and the medal bars, made me realize I am in a cell now. At least I am away from the monster who took me. I heard people coming down so I layed down and closed my eyes listening to there conversation. " Alpha says she's special and she'll help us with the humans and vampires." Man 1 said. " How can she be that special she looks like all of his other fuck toys." Man 2 said.

Those words, he doesn't have a mother or skates. Such an innocent child lying to me was shocking. Echoes in my mind, I couldn't believe it. Asking for him I went crazy, I stressed out looking for him. Jerry was missing and we couldn't find him. My flight leaves in an hour and I'm still here waiting, searching for Jerry.

“Why would he do that?” Harry asked, his confusion bleeding through his previous hardness. “And if you believed that I was fictional, why did you—” He cut himself off with abruptness of a gunshot. Then he took another deep breath that he let out slowly. “I did not come here to fight any of you, even if I’m a bit miffed that you let Spencer just leave after he had died on a case.”

Bullets flying, bodies falling, people fleeing. This is the sight I saw when I rounded the corner heading back to my house. I heard men screaming and children running for their parents. I've never seen so much blood flying and heard so many gunshots.
