Essay On Kinesiology

I continued following my medical interest by shadowing the athletic trainers for four years while also taking medical courses through the medical academy my high school offers. Shadowing throughout high school provided hands on experience while also allowing me to see what it would be like to be an athletic trainer. Learning the different types of medical professionals duties that come along with the job allowed me to decide before I got to college that athletic training was not what I wanted to major in. The courses I had taken along with shadowing the trainers were something that assisted and guided me to pursue Exercise Science. The courses that helped guide my understanding of Exercise Science were Exploring the Language of Medicine, Anatomy and Physiology, and Exercise Science. Throughout taking the Exercise Science course I realized that I had a true passion for exercise science. This course provided information on how broad of a field Exercise Science was. I also learned that the exercise science program serves as foundation for advanced study in exercise science and other areas such as exercise physiology, medicine, physical therapy, sports nutrition, sports psychology and more. Throughout this class we looked at different jobs that Exercise Science majors could go on to take after completing your undergraduate degree. The jobs range from a Nutritionist, Physical Therapist, Physician Assistant and more. After taking this class it also lead me to decide that I wanted to pursue being a Physician Assistant in the Emergency

I have chosen to study athletic training because it allows me to still participate and be involved in sports as well as be able to help athletes recover from injuries while gaining valuable clinical experience for physical therapy. Growing up I have always had a love for sports but I have not been graced with the abilities to become a professional athlete. With my love for sports as a youth I watched a lot on television with my father and I would see athletes get injured and medical personnel rush out to their aid. When I found out they were athletic trainers and physical therapists, I knew that is what I wanted to do when I grew up. All throughout high school I was involved in sports and unfortunately had an injury or two. Although our school did not have an athletic trainer, I went to many different specialists and

Physical therapy and kinesiology work in a close relationship to each other. Essentially one may think they are one in the same, however there are small differences between the two that provide different results when applied singularly. As a combined effort physical therapy and kinesiology work to heal the muscles and joints of the body, recreating movements perfectly as they were before injury or in some cases as closely as one can get to a perfect function. First one must understand where the lone is drawn between the two fields and how they balance each other to create desirable results in a patient.

Otherwise you will be unhappy with what you are doing and will not enjoy it at all. I am not entirely sure what I want my career to be but I have a pretty good idea as to what type of job it will be. I would like to go into the field of a physical therapist and sports medicine, I fell I will enjoy this more than any other type of career just because I already have a lot of interest in it.

My experience also enabled me to understand how an individual’s mentality, anatomy, and body movements can contribute to the overall progress of healing as it requires a lot of patience and motivation. Therefore, pursuing a degree in Kinesiology would be my greatest desire as I want to help individuals heal through methods of physical movements and because I believe it encompasses two of my favourite subjects, science and physical education. Throughout my experience in high school, my interest in health and physical activities has only grown stronger. As an illustration, over the past four years, I have been involved in various sports such as the varsity girl’s soccer team, varsity girl’s flag football team, and badminton

Passion and love are the most important thing in choosing the right career. Kinesiology is the study of human body movements and also the study of sport and sports medicine. The career I want to do is to be a coach and kinesiology is one of the majors I need to take to be able to be a coach. That was a little

After high school, I’d wish to pursue a degree as a physical therapist assistant. Ever since I was younger I always knew that I wanted to become a PTA or else an athletic trainer. Sports introduced me to physical therapy and physical therapy assistants. I’ve played sports ever since I was a little girl. I also got injured many times playing sports which led my to go to physical therapy. I’ve always thought that the body was so fascinating and always want to learn more about it. I participate in Health Occupations where I am able to actually go shadow a physical therapist and see what they do.

My mom immigrated from India to America in her adolescence and later was the first in our family to attend college and get a degree. I want to follow in her footsteps and go and get a college education and prove to her that I did not take all the back-breaking hours of work that both my mom and dad put in for granted, and to prove that I am willing to work hard. My parents both came to America with a couple dollars and a dream, and they were able to provide for me with little outside help. I am fortunate for this situation, and many, like me, have not had such lucky childhoods, and this has shaped my aspirations and goals in life. I want to go into the medical field in order to one day help other people. I want to make a living out of helping

Studying for a final. Researching in a lab. Getting my EMT certification. Volunteering. Getting heart disease. I know what you’re thinking. How are these things all related to each other and wanting to go to medical school? Admittedly, it took me some time to figure that out myself. As I started each of the things above I didn’t necessarily begin with the thought that this experience would some how better prepare me for life as a medical student and physician. Even though being a doctor has always been my dream, I began each (albeit one of them with no choice) for a unique reason. I studied because I wanted to learn. I did research because I wanted to further my studies by using them in a practical capacity. I got an EMT

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing”- Pelé. When I think about my future, quite frankly, I’m not sure where I’ll end up. I truly believe my future will depend on my personal happiness no matter what career I end up in. However, that’s not how life goes. In a career, it’s not all flowers and daisies; you sacrifice, you endure, you persevere, and sometimes, you suffer but in the end you are rewarded with a life only dreamed by some. I’m not looking at the medical field for money, I’m looking at it for how it fits to my characteristics. The medical field is a group of people willing to suffer, sacrifice, and endure for the well-being

I became interested in Kinesiology being that I have an interest in how the body works, from aspects of body kinetics, to the breakdown of our mental processes, to our social development. It has always been an interest of mine and I genuinely enjoy learning about the human anatomy of people. Understanding how we execute the movements that we make fascinates me. Being emerged in the health field at a young age sparked my interests initially. My grandmother is a nurse who runs her own home health care agency and I would accompany her on many of her home visits. These visits made me realize that I wanted to help people. Therefore, Kinesiology seemed to be the perfect balance between helping others and learning about how the human body works.

I decided to pursue Kinesiology as my major because I am very much interested in helping people of all ages reach their fitness goals, give them knowledge on how to live a healthy life and to help them understand that healthy eating and exercise needs to be a part of their lifestyle. Since I was six years old I have always played sports. I was forced into playing as a kid due to the fact that my parents and some of my cousins are former athletes. I began to develop a passion for sports that has continued to this day. Life was difficult when I was younger. I was overweight and there was an unfortunate reaction of the other students who made a mockery of my weight. Nevertheless, I was still surprisingly athletic. I would spend nights upset due to the fact that I was bigger than all of my friends and would constantly ask my dad how to lose weight and get muscles. Granted, I was around 10 years old at the time so there are not many exercises that you can do at this age besides push-ups, sit-ups and running laps around the track.

I hope to possibly work for a sports team and or be employed at Kaiser as a sports or shoulder and ankle specialist. I have seen so many sports specialist, but every time I pay a visit I am fascinated with all the certain types of specialty doctors have. I want to be different from some doctors though. Instead of calling me Dr. Thai I would want people to address me as just Jason, for the reason I believe that titles create barriers. Ultimately, my biggest goal would to one day travel the world to third world countries to provide help to those in need. With the knowledge obtained from college, I could work with others to make the lives of other abroad a life worth living. I am not pursuing this career for the money, but for the reason that I may help those who may not even be able to afford doctors. My aspirations now were shaped by my favorite aunt. My aunt was a dentist who sacrificed time with her family to take care of mine. She would give everything to see my family happy. I remember she sang the song "My Heart Will Go On" as I played the song on my trumpet. She passed away a couple years ago, and I was unable to thank her for all she has done. When it is finally my turn to join her, I can finally tell her thank you. Her heart truly did go on, and I am ready to work hard to achieve my goals. For now I make progress day by

On many occasions my personal goals have come before my professional aspirations. A career in the medical field has always been something I have looked forward to. As a child I wanted and dreamed of being a doctor, however due to the choices I made in life and the priorities that I had not thought of, I have come to realize that my childhood dream may not come true. Yet, I was able to compromise and make short and long term goals that will lead me into a career in the medical field. My long term goal is to enter the medical field world and be a respected contributor to it. I want to be able to help others in the time of need. In
