I have figured out what I want to be, and that is a physical therapist. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, my parents come to me whenever they need a massage or whatever. They do so because I'm not afraid to hurt them while doing it. My mom and I were talking about it back in August and it just made sense for me to go into this field. So, from then on out, I have been working hard to get there. I transferred to a different school that has a major that goes perfectly with what physical therapy schools want. I’m starting to take the classes that I really need and have finished up all my core classes. I even joined a Pre-PT club at school. So, with academics, I have been on track.
There is another thing that PT schools take into consideration, and that is volunteering. They want students to start getting a feel of how it’s going to be. I started volunteering at a rehab center near my home and it has been an amazing experience so far. I know I’ll be able to get a lot of hours during May before I have to go back to school for the summer. Also, I have to prepare for the GRE (Graduate Recording Exam) in order to even apply for grad school. And on top of that, I also have to figure out which PT school I want to attend once I finish up my undergrad work. I’m in for a long, stressful time, but if something is easy, it’s not worth it.
