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

I have set out on this journey of health care because I want to help people go from post-operative to back to fully functioning with realistic goals in place. I want to be able to walk the journey with the patients and let them know that they are not on it alone. Through Physical Therapy I feel that patients get more than just rehabilitation of an injury or surgery but they get a change in mindset from injured to functioning independently again as they did before.
