My
Story
In 8th grade, I participated in a field trip where we were assigned to classes based on a "personality trait quiz." My results placed me in Cardiology and Sports Medicine. Although I had always known I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, this experience was the first time I felt a true passion for something more specific.
My interest in Physical Therapy really solidified during my senior year of high school when I was accepted into the Career Center Sports Medicine program. I had an amazing teacher and mentor who guided me through the various career options in the field. This experience gave me the opportunity to explore my interests further and truly understand the path I wanted to pursue.
