Throughout my years I have changed what I wanted to do with my future over and over again. When I was young I wanted to be a doctor. Then, once I got a little older, I wanted to become a professional athlete. Soon after that I decided I was going to be a nurse, soon after that I wanted to become a teacher, and even after both of those I thought I was going to be a psychologist. It wasn't until I was a senior in high school that I realized that I could make a living doing a combination of almost all of those while working with something I loved my entire life. I could coach sports.

When I found out they were athletic trainers and physical therapists, I knew that is what I wanted to do when I grew up.

Ever sense I was a young girl I’ve been really into physical activities. At the age of five I started skating and instantly fell in-love. At the age of six my dad enrolled me into hockey, and from that point on my life has never been the same. I’ve had numerous opportunities in sports such as: winning gold and silver for U18 Team Canada hockey, and getting a scholarship to Wisconsin University to play on the women’s hockey team. Although these moments are surreal, it is not only the moments that I remember but the mentors and teachers that I have been fortunate to meet along the way. These coaches have not only taught me the game but have also taught me life values such as: teamwork, leadership, discipline, time management and much more. Without hockey, and sports in general I don’t know where I would be today, but I do know one thing and that is without sports I wouldn’t have met all the amazing people that helped guided me towards wanting to become a physical education teacher. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and I am blessed to have sports guide me through life. Thus, I want to become a teacher to help kids have the same opportunities that I had growing up.

Growing up, I’ve always been athletic. I’ve always loved the way the atmosphere and competitiveness of a sports game just completely engulfs me and takes me captive. I’ve fallen in love with the game and how it can make me drown in emotion. I hope to be around this type of atmosphere for as long as I can, that’s the reason I dream of becoming an athletic trainer or physical therapist. I believe in myself and I yield the faith that I can make it to that level. Albeit there isn’t a single prognostic sign that this is true in any form, but that’s what faith is, right? An intense belief in the unseen and unknown.

Some values that I care about are accomplishment, fitness, and love for what you do life. All of my values can tie into my career choice which is physical education. Physical education is all about fitness and motivating kids to be physically active and do their best. You need to have a passion for your job and what you do so you can be fulfilled at your job. Accomplishments mean that you have done something meaningful in your life and you have been successful. I
