What has resonated the most with me is that there is so much more to learn. I was trying to be big and cut guy for the longest time. This turned in to me wanting to be more athletic than to just be able to pick up heavy objects and put them down. Now I am in it for the long haul, overall health and longevity is now my goal by balancing out my diets and watching everything that I put in my body. Inputting everything in our Supertracker was a great tool that I intend to use for myself and future clients.
The profession that I am interested in is an Athletic Trainer. I have chosen this career because it is something that I have recently become passionate about within the last two years. I have never been the kind of person to struggle with weight, however after having my 3rd and last child, weight has become an issue. I mention my personal struggle to give insight on why I have chosen an Athletic Trainer. This profession’s main goal is physical fitness.

It makes you stick with your exercise plans because it influence you to stay committed to your program with the influence from helpful people.
When you are committed into accomplishing something, especially if it’s something that is challenging and something that you want to change, you have to put motivation in it to actually accomplish it. My purpose for creating this collage is to persuade people to motivate themselves when they are going through the process of a diet or working out. Without motivation, the work you're putting in your workout or diet is worthless to you. Motivate yourself to boost your confidence which will make you feel great!
As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge. For instance, I learned the importance of consistency, in which in order to be actively fit and healthy, there must be consistency. As a young fitness fanatic, I
I am currently enrolled as a student of Veterinary Science at the University of Arizona. Initially, I came to the university with the intent of joining the career field as a veterinarian. However, after one school year and multiple job-shadowing opportunities, I realized that being a veterinarian was everything that I had imagined it to be. I found that I wanted to be working directly with the animals rather than just diagnostics. With these ideas in mind and some research, I concluded that the career that would give me the most fulfillment in my life would be a veterinary technician.
After eight weeks as an intern in the Laboratory for Wellness and Motor Behavior (LWMB), I can honestly say that it has been one of the most rewarding program that I have been a part of.

It is an incredible experience to witness the clients get closer and closer to reaching their goals every day.
Coming from a family with major and multiple health issues, I’m always trying to stay healthy and keep my body running like a well oiled machine. The best way for me to do that is the weight room. I get my blood flowing by lifting heavy weights and running on the treadmill. I drink a protein shake after words, this makes me feel physically better and a healthier person at all times. It doesn't happen right away, but over time if you keep the effort up in the weight room, you will see results. It will give you stronger attributes and better work effort. I also want to be a personal trainer, so helping others stay healthy is important to me as well. As much time as I can spend in the weight room is the best, knowing as much as I can about it as possible. I feel my hard work since i’ve started working out has paid off and I’m a healthier person all

The first learning outcome I expect to achieve during my internship experience is to have more confidence in teaching patients how to exercise properly. The strategies I am implementing to achieve this outcome is that I help patients with their warm-up and cool down. Each time we have a new patient, my supervisor allows me to teach and demonstrates the exercises for the warm-up and cool-down. Another strategy is to listen and observe the exercise physiologist when instructing patients to exercise. The second learning outcome I hope to accomplish during my internship experience is to learn the process when prescribing an exercise program for a new patient. The strategy I’m implementing to achieve this outcome is to observe the exercise physiologist

It all started on June 2014, I was uncomfortable in my own skin. I was underweight and was always out of breath. I ran like a turtle. At that time, I weighed only 115 pounds.

The gym made me fit, healthier, but most importantly it made me a better person which is who I am today.
I began this fitness journey when I noticed my feet hurt after going to the mailbox. It also did not help that my family gained weight quite easily, and my family has a very alarming health history. Although, there are not any drug addictions, diabetes runs in the family. I resorted to Xylitol and Coconut sugars as a health prevention plan. My grandfathers died of heart attacks and hypertension, my great grandmother died from cancer, and my uncle died of a stroke. They all were overweight from poor eating habits.

Usually, people associate poverty with tattered places. People always feel that the existence of the poor people will affect the wealth of a city. After reading this book I changed my mind. If the city is full of poor people, and these will not make the city poorer, they are attracted because the city can improve their living standards.

As a result, the more population of poor in a city is the advantage of the city. It shows that the city has the power to attract more people.
