She did not only want her profession to be different from her families, she wanted to make a difference in her community. One way she saw she could do this was in physical therapy. She knew she could impact the lives of many with physical therapy. It was calm, Monday evening as we sat down at her kitchen table
I spoke with Josefina Horton once more, she stated, "I told David to leave me alone that our relationship was not working out with the way he is treating me. I wanted him to leave and we began to argue, it happened so quick the next thing I remember was his hands on my throat I couldn 't breath. I tried yelling for help, but his grip was tight on my throat."
In 2003, a young thirteen year old named Bethany Hamilton was attacked by a shark at Tunnels Beach in Kauai, Hawaii. In 2010, my family and I ended up actually going to the beach that Bethany was attacked. We drove down from the hotel we were staying at through all the beautiful scenery that was so different from that of Idaho. The car we rented was a red Jeep and we had the top off all the way to the beach. It was perfect, the sunshine above, the warm salty air licking our faces as we sped through the streets lined by looming palms swaying in the breeze.

This year, I experienced both a personal and academic obstacle that correlate with one another. In January, I started the year long Medical Assisting program at my school. Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.
AUCOIN.SESSION1.JOURNAL PAGE 1 Have you ever felt as if you were unwanted? I woke up and went to bed with that feeling every day until I was about nineteen. I was taken away from my parents when I was only twenty two months old. I was molested, neglected, and abused. No child should ever have to go through what I went through.
With that, the baby boomer generation are about to head into retirement in the next decade, which will open a lot more jobs for the younger generation. According to results, they’re estimating forty-one million people leaving the field and going into retirement. They explain that with this happening, incoming PTs will have to treat them with their age-related health problems as well as other injuries. The need for physical therapy is on a high, which will be a good thing for our generation and many others in the future. What Physical Therapy means to me and why I am so strong on people getting into the
As a student, the skill involved in being a doctor of physical therapy is continually improving with each day of hands-on experience during school. (what about adding something about growing skills in collaboration, evidence based decision making, etc.) While the student’s level of skill is not likely matched by a licensed professional, it is important for the student to have experience
While obtaining my observation hours, I had the opportunity to further my education on the field of physical therapy. This was done by observing the daily tasks of my supervisor as well as the other physical therapists and staff in the clinic. While watching my supervisor interact with and administer treatments to patients, I noticed how he conducted himself in a professional manner at all times. I also observed how he would attentively listen to each of his patients throughout every therapy session. Not only did this inform him of his patient’s current and ongoing symptoms, but also their desired end result from therapy.
The professor I chose to interview is called Ms. Gina Flowers. She is serving in the department of English and humanities but also research strategies for the first time this semester. This is a professor I had the chance to have in two different occasions and I always wanted to know a little more about her experiences in this domain since she taught for so many years. Dialogue Abdoulaye –“Ms. Flowers, for how long have you been teaching?”
To many people when they hear the word student they think incompetent but if we can make an effort to make a connection with them we may be able to ease that concern. By treating every person with respect they will do the same for you and it will be easier for them to recover. During my internship experience I have seen the difference attitude and behavior toward patients make during the recovery process. An important skill that Physical Therapy students should have is being able to be discreet.
I wish to pursue a career in Physical therapy as my goal in life is to truly help others. Historically I’ve always been the type of person to help others. Since I was young, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. Seeing my dad as a Doctor I fell in love with his cause and the morals he taught me. I’ve also always loved sports and the gym, and I believe Physical Therapy is the best mix of everything I love to do on a daily basis.

The American Physical Therapy Association’s "vision" to transform society through movement is not just an idea to me, it is the ambition I intend to live by until it leads me to my next set of goals. Their vision has been something I 've embodied for quite sometime, without the organization and united mission of 90,000 Physical Therapist world-wide, my goal to become a health practitioner would be obsolete. The sight of being a part of rehabilitation services enthuses me as there is no better sentiment than restoring a lost smile. In life, "cause" is the precedent in what path we take. In addition, there is a reason behind why every individual takes part in something.
