They can teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. To become a physical therapist one must go through years of school and training. My goal of becoming a physical therapist has been my main goal ever since high school. Being in a swim team and helping others out as a lifeguard has motivated to into helping athletes and people with disabilities. To me, working with people would be a fantastic career field for me to pursue. Reaching this goal is harder than most career goals. I will have to go through a pool of candidates that are has motivated as me. This goal that I am trying to accomplish will need a hundred percent of my effort in school and the field itself. Finding “connections in the field of physical therapy will help you find a job faster. Many people will try to get a spot in the career that I want and for me to accomplish my goal, I must be a better candidate than the others.

I want to live a life of service. I am wasting my life if I am not making someone's life better. As a military physical therapist (PT), I would be serving those who serve me. A military PT has the unique opportunity to learn how to practice physical therapy as well as lead in the military.

I have always been interested in physical activities and how it can influence an individual’s mental and physical health. My passion towards athletics developed at a young age as I have been involved in various sports including swimming and tennis. Moreover, my desire to study Kinesiology stems from the technological development and its impact on modern society. As technology advances, it allows for many individuals to become dependent on their devices thus proposing health risks. I wish to pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree in hopes to promote a healthier lifestyle amongst society and gain a greater understanding of how physical movements can affect the human body. Furthermore, my experience as a cooperative education student at Humber

Costs are what usually stop students from applying or even considering going to a UC or CSU, especially for middle class students. Since technically they are able to pay for it the government doesn’t help them out as much as they wish they could. Tuition for universities is very high, but it is a “you get what you paid for” type

“What do you want to be when you graduate high school?,” my mother asked me. She has asked me this specific question my entire life but today she wanted an answer. I was seventeen, only a month away until my eighteenth birthday, so it was time for me to make a decision. I told her I did not know and she started to list a bunch of career options I could pursue. She continue to go on and on then, she said Occupational Therapist. My mom described to me what Occupational Therapist did and their job responsibilities. That is when I decided that this is the career for me. I am driven to become an Occupational Therapist because I want to provide for my future family, and to grow spiritually and mentally in the process.

From a young age, I have always wanted to understand other people’s thoughts and feelings. As I have grown older, I have grown even more curious about not only understanding people, but learning how to help them. With this guiding me, my future career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist. Occupational Therapists work with a wide variety of people to help them overcome obstacles in their lives in order to achieve a better quality of life. I specifically hope to work with young children, adolescents, and teens who suffer from emotional, mental, or cognitive impairments. This is due to growing up in a family who fostered challenged children, having siblings with their own challenges, and having many young friends who could have benefitted

My chosen career path is to be a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Therapist and proceed to graduate school to become an Occupational Therapist. Lifespan can affect my career depending on what age group I am working with. For example, the older generation is now living longer so I must acquire the skills to assist their leisure and recreational needs because not many adaptions have been made. If I am working with a person who is 80 years old and wants to ability to paint her nails again, I will have to adapt the tools I am given so she can grip the nail polish handle again. When I am working with kids I must be aware of what stage they are at in life. If they are in preoperational stage they won’t have the ability to think how others feel. Also, knowing that they are in this stage I can utilize what activities we do because this stage they are known for engaging in a lot of symbolic play. Lastly, lifespan development influences my career because it helps me understand who they are and why they act the way they do. If a young girl has an eating disorder, I could find the what’s causing it. I might find out she hit puberty earlier triggering this behavior and can help her cope with that. Therefore, by understanding my client’s background I can personalize the therapy to meet her needs.

As of now, college has a set price. However, it fluctuates with the amount of

As a young child growing up in Africa, I always dreamed of obtaining the best education and becoming a lawyer someday. But all of a sudden everything changed. Living with my grandmother and growing up with other children, my love for kids grew each and every day. I found myself always caring for people especially kids.

Continuing an education after high school would be an enormous accomplishment! I have considered and thought about all the hard work college will be, but the amazing benefits are worth it. College is an essential part in becoming something and someone greater. Progressing on to college after I finish up high school means producing a difference in the world while moving to the next step in my life. Once I graduate high school, I plan to attend Pacific University to complete a four year degree in Pre-Physical Therapy. Making the decision of what I want to do is a tremendous deal, because it can potentially become what I pursue for the next 40 or more years of my life. I have attentively considered becoming a physical therapist as it has become

University of Central Arkansas is the only school in the state of Arkansas that has the program to becoming a Physical Therapist. Although, it is still in the state of Arkansas it is not close to where I live in Arkansas, it is a two hour drive from my house to UCA. This is a disadvantage to me because I do not want to live on campus at college, I want to go to a college close enough where I can be able to drive there and come back home everyday. My next choice would be to go to Northeastern State University, this college is a little closer, it only takes a hour and a half from my house. These colleges are still far from home

Another thing about my life is that I believe that everyone should have the same rights and should have same opportunities.

With this course: The ultimate goal would be to learn as much information as possible, so it could translate to my work when I become a PTA.

When I was a freshman in high school, I took my first Health Occupations class and loved every second of it. It was intriguing and understandable; it made me confirm that I wanted to go into healthcare as a career. Because of this class, I discovered my true passion is to go into prosthetics and orthotics.

I was given was an outdated book of medical careers and was able to keep the book to look through it at home.
