“What are you going to do with your life?” “What do you want to be?” “Are you sure that’s a good choice?” “Do they make good money?” The questions, oh the questions we were bombarded as high schoolers. Thinking back at it, that is a huge weight on someone’s shoulders. You are asking a young teenager what they want to do with their life. That’s the biggest question you can ask someone, but yet we all were asked this numerous times, and not everybody is always prepared to even think about the rest of their life at that age.
Coming into college as a determined freshman, one “thinks” they know exactly what they want to do with the rest of their whole life. Now this may be the case for some but definitely not all. In my case, I was gung-ho about becoming a physical therapist in high school so I enrolled in the biological science program here at Wright State. …show more content…

The next goal is to challenge myself beyond the classroom. While in graduate school, I want to pursue employment in the business so I can get almost a twenty-four-hour education of things truly work. I want to completely understand the ends and outs of the sport industry, and how to not just maintain a program but excel that program. I believe that Wright State will give me all of the tools to do that. Then with completing the program and receiving my Master of Sport Management I want to pursue the career of being an athletic director and doing what I set out to do, being able to excel a program and the right

    I have been exposed to the medical field my whole life. My Mom was a nurse and I would love to listen to the stories she told about her time in the hospital. If anybody asked me at the age of five what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say “a nurse like my mom.” A few years later I decided I wanted to be a doctor from the few times I got to watch the television show “ER”. The beginning of my interest in physical therapy was when I met my fourth grade pen pal, Elmo, at a nursing home. Elmo had muscular dystrophy and only retained control of his right arm and pinky which allowed him to manouver his wheelchair. During one visit where we got to spend the whole day with our pals, the physical therapist at the nursing home came to see Elmo. I was allowed to stay and I remember thinking it was so cool that there was one person to help Elmo retain the little muscle tone and mobility he had left. In sixth grade, my class went to the hospital to sing Christmas caroles and I remember the coolest place being the physical therapy room. I thought it was amazing how patients were learning to walk again or throw a ball.
