What Major Am I Pursuing: The major that I am currently pursuing is a bachelors degree in exercise science in hopes of being a doctors of physical therapy

Why Did I Choose This Major: I have always have had a love for sports doesn’t matter if I was playing or watching the game itself. I have always been active from a very young age. Then we I got into high school I started playing volleyball, basketball, and softball year around. I have had multiple injuries some worse than others. When I was doing physical therapy for my sports injuries that is when the love for this job started. I always thought it was such an amazing thing to help people get back on their feet so they can get back on the court as quick as possible.

Do I have Any Experience In This Field: I do have some experience in this field already and working on more hours as we speak. During my senior year of high school we had to shadow at a place that we wanted to work in the future. I chose Sentra Hospital and shadowed with a physical therapist for a week. I had a fun time working with all the different types of patients I met. This shadowing experience really helped me realize that I didn’t want to work in a hospital setting because it was to overwhelming for me. I am still working with the ODU physical therapy and trying to find the best times that I can come in to shadow so I can get some more hours under my belt for grade school. This will also help me to see if I want to work in a more clinical setting.
