Pursuing a career in Physical Therapy has always been a dream for me and is something I’m very humble about to accomplish. The journey may be a long trip but I will never give up on my goals. Another long-term goal of myself is that I want to avoid as much debt possible because I know graduate schools are very expensive but by me saving up money from my employment I want to be able to pay some with the money I saved up. In the future, I want to open my own fitness brand, not anytime soon but in the future and it will be based on fitness and motivating people. I have not really started to make plans for that yet but in the future, I will start to build up a strategic plan that will help my build my successful fitness clothing

As the student athletic trainer, I help with assessing their injuries, with treatment and rehabilitation of their injuries as well as injury prevention.

Physical education class provides a unique experience for students. It enables them to think, act and feel simultaneously while learning. In the course of learning, students are able to simulate movement patterns that are important in the process of skill acquisition and motor competence. While motor and sport skill competence is an important aspect of learning in physical education, the pervasive public health message reinforcing the necessity of enhanced physical activity for health has generally induced a curriculum based on fitness and health ideology in physical education (Liukkonen, Aweele, Vereijken, Alfermann, & Theodorakis, 2007).
