The End Goal
My Major & Career Goals
The major I am currently pursuing is Exercise Science. I am hopeful with a little bit of free space in my schedule for the spring semester of my freshman year, I can add a minor to my pathway. Although I am still exploring, I may be interested in psychology or coaching.
My ultimate goal is to become a successful physical therapist and make a positive impact on the lives of my patients. I am excited to continue learning and growing in the industry, and I look forward to sharing an documenting my journey with you through this project.
Freshman Year Fall 23
I can firmly say these last couple of months of college experiences have influenced how I feel about life here at IUPUI. After first accepting my status here to going to orientation and bridge I felt a worldly difference of knowing/ getting to know so many people in just a matter of a week. I now have many classes and continue to brainstorm with my peers I met on the very first day. This semester has really guaranteed for me and how I function as a person that I am in the right place. Although college is tough, it feels like a great brain workout because I am learning about topics I am passionate about and want to pursue.
Strengths & Weakness
This semester has thrown many different situations at me, along with a whole new way of learning. Overall I have learned and verified for myself that I have a strong work ethic. Along with that, I have learned that I am not as strong as I would like to be in my study habits and time management skills. I have successfully come to the end of my first semester with plenty of new experiences to learn from and apply to my future.
The Lesson
Lastly, my one big lesson learned this semester is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I have frequently found that many of my classmates are in similar situations or struggling with the same things as me.
