I have been at Udall since preschool. I currently play volleyball, run track, participate in organizations such as FCCLA, FBLA, SADD, NHS Treasurer, and Student Council President. I am employed at JAG Gymnastics in Andover, where I teach and help girls learn to do gymnastics. My sister and I had physical therapy when we were injured, and it helped us both significantly. I will be attending Cowley County Community College for my first two years, then transferring to Emporia State University to pursue my career as a Physical Therapist Assistant. I would like to know more about the human body and how things work so I can also help other people.

Other people will benefit because I could help them get better and recover quickly from different injuries. I might have difficulties finding time to get to an office so I can learn more about how much to do on a certain day. I also might not be allowed in the room with patients because of privacy rights.

However, I want to do more I want to be able to follow the process from beginning to end and do the evaluations. I want to be able to do the testing and the measuring. 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.

Abbie Rodgers Civitan Camp is a volunteer summer camp for Adults with Disabilities. I volunteered for two summers from 2007-2008. During my volunteer efforts, my duties were to assist our campers with maintaining their hygiene, assist with meals, and activity schedules.

I felt that out of all my professors, you would have the best understanding of my academic and personal values since I was fortunate enough to be a teaching assistant for your class. You were able to see my work in a variety of different settings during my time as a TA (presenting, collaborating, giving feedback, etc.) as well as my academic ability during my time as a student for Biochemistry 420. Your overall class and teaching style was one of my favorites during undergrad, and I found you and your TAs to be especially helpful and kind.

I am writing this letter on behalf of Quentin Goodman, an incoming high school senior who is looking to volunteer at NYU Langone Medical Center, Center for Musculoskeletal Care (CMC), Physical Therapy Department located on 333 East 38th Street, New York, NY 10016. NYU CMC Physical Therapy Supervisor, Dr. James Koo is a professional and personal friend of mine and he gave Quentin your contact information and a tour of the clinic. The reason Quentin wants to become a physical therapist is because his sister, Camille, has had several surgeries when she was younger. He was able to have a first-hand look at how much a physical therapist could impact someone’s life. Camille had to undergo yet another surgery in the summer of 2016, and Quentin was again able to see how different her life would have been without the help of physical therapy.

I want to be able to help them regain movement and strength for them to be able to return to their normal life. I realized that health is very important, that we are blessed to wake up in the morning whereas some people have chronic illness and pray for better health. I believe that we take our health for granite, until comes the day where we don’t have good health and it feels like our whole life comes crumbling down. Health is so important, and I want to help people who get injured on the job, have unexpected surgery, or have a sports injury recover. I volunteer at the Spanish Community Center with their softball/baseball little league program during the summer.

I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity.

I imagine a life in which I wake up every morning eager to work, wanting to meet new people, and relieve pain. I believe physical therapy is the best fit for me because of the qualities it has to offer. I have shadowed a few different occupations such as pharmacy and research in labs; however, none of which best seemed to fit my personality. I attain a social nature; I enjoy engaging in conversations, but, most importantly, I want to give people hope to believe that there is a chance to return to their normal lifestyle. Once I came across physical therapy, I did some research on the profession and thought that I should try shadowing to get my feet wet.
