Something I love about the health field is its ability to do just that. I myself was able to experience this phenomenon at the Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the Fox Valley. In late December, on a late afternoon, I dislocated my shoulder and was brought to OSI where they took care of me right away. Many of the medical professionals there stayed later just in case the doctor couldn’t relocate it without surgery, and for follow up x-rays. I also had an amazing experience with the physical therapy department. The dedication and commitment demonstrated towards me as a patient have truly inspired me to become a physical therapist. Another reason why I would be a good fit for this program is my expressed interest and commitment to the health field. In addition to the classes previously mentioned, I have taken biology, health careers exploration and I am currently enrolled in the college course, medical terminology. I also plan to enroll in collegiate level courses senior year such as AP Biology and a human anatomy course at Northeast Wisconsin Technical
