I am
graduating on the ninth of June, 2018 and cannot be more excited! This school year is practically
slipping out of my hands and my -our impending future is almost upon us. Intense right? Of
course it is I am on the verge of adulthood and still get nervous when I cant put my change back
in my wallet fast enough at the register! And yet in a few short months Ill be expected to live on
my own, make my own food to prevent starvation, maintain an adult relationship, get educated,
stay healthy, and make money I feel like a small child that just cant understand how the
bunny goes through the hole, in reference to shoe tying, Its something that seems so simple and
These past four years have changed everything, people out of school act as if high school
was just four years of their life they had to endure to get to the good part. What is the good
part? If your not living for the now, is there ever a good part when you keep looking too far
ahead? Dont get me wrong I am looking ahead just not so far that I lose sight of today. Think
back to your middle school self In my case buck tooth, annoying, couldn't dress, and too bossy
for her own good. Im not -Were not the same anymore, Well I am still too bosy for my own
good sometimes, and my appearance did change but further from the surface is the real change.
Something I have noticed is that this generation is really powered by our music interest, maybe
no more that past gens. however we can share our interests with family, friends, and strangers
much easier that before with social media. If your taste in music is something that you believe
defines a part of who you are, then you have to admit it has changed once, twice, or twelve times
since you first got here. Other interests have probably sparked, some students didnt participate
in clubs or sports until high school and now it is a huge part of their lives. I didnt start attending
an actual art or drama club until my sophomore year, of coarse I participated in similar activities
I love art, always have, Its something that never changed through the years. I was blessed
with an amazing art teacher that was in herself talented and pushed me to try new things and use
new techniques. I now sell my art regularly and have let my skills grow consistently. Before high
school I also had some acting experience from my local church, playing the virgin Mary -for 5
years IN A ROW, before knowing what a virgin even was! In my second year here I auditions in
Mr. Winslows rendition of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream & was casted the only
part I wanted, being on stage of a professional status in front of that amount of spectators gave
me a real respect for the art. ANd that is something that I can never forget. Having good
influences in my school life really helped to become the kind of person I want to become, A
respectable, educated person. I am using this time to build a foundation for real conversation, I
want to discuss literature, poetry, and theatre with other respectable persons. I am building this
foundation along with my love of reading, art, and theater arts. Its fantastic that my interests
I guess at the end of this section where no one is going to read can be the nitty gritty
family section. I live with my single dad and half sister, my mom was never apart of life. She
came in to wreck havoc. I cant totally blame her, it can be hard living with my dad sometimes. I
briefly remember her as a small child and then she was gone my dad spent years tracking her
down because little old me wanted her back. I didnt want the real her, just the her that I made
up; the kind, present sending, loving, busy mom that didnt exist. You see my dad knew that all
kids needed a mom so he would buy me christmas presents, and birthday cards and put her name
on them. I remember playing hide and seek and finding a doll house box in my dads closet, a
week or so later christmas day I saw the same doll house under the tree, this time with a big
from Mom on the front. It wasn't from her and I know that my dad was just trying to help, I
was a pretty mature child and even at that age knew it would break my dads heart to know that I
knew so I never told him and he eventually stopped pretending. When I was eight years old we
moved out of VA to here and my dad found my mom. She came to live with us and had a two
year old that couldn't talk and ate everything like it was her first and last meal. Take what you
want from that statement. She soon got locked up for who knows and I begged to keep my new
sister, and after some abandonment charges on my mom I got to have her. I dont know exactly
what she know but depending on the day she has said that shes me as her mother figure, so I
The next two pages are meant to be about college, where im going, what im going to
do, and how ill be better off. Well newsflash Im not. I wanted to got to college I was accepted
to Wesleyan and was going to major in Biology, minor in Literature, and with my major go to
Pre-Med, and then into a school of Physical Therapy. My dad was not able to give me any kind
college fund and refuses to participate in applications for financial aids. Military, Air Force that
has been his plan for me from the start. And like always Ill do it. My life is HIS life. Its okay, at
least its practical, right? I have spoken to Air Force recruiter Sgt Tejada and I am scheduled to
complete my ASVAB sometime in december, after that assuming I pass, I get sworn in in
January at Mepps, and then I start PT the next day. I can leave anytime after graduation. Sgt
Tejada said that every tuesday in transportation to San Antonio, Texas, where the Lackland Air
Force base is located. In Texas I will undergo 7.5 weeks of Basic Military Training.
Physical therapists help people with physical injuries or illnesses of to regain range of
movement and control their pain. They help determine the root causes of the trauma, counsel
patients, and work with them to create a plan for rehabilitation. Entry level education for a PT is a
Doctoral or professional degree, average annual pay as of 2015 according to those who study this kind of
thing is $84,020. Physical therapy is a career that will always be needed throughout society; it
helps the human body rebuild physical function in people that have been injured, have birth
defects, or any other reasons. There are certain education requirements to become one, just like
many other careers. It is a career that an individual who enjoys helping people and working in
the medical field would be perfect for. The job of physical therapy and physical therapy
assistants is an important factor to a lot of people. It is a job that will always be needed; there
will always be people that need help regaining their physical health ranging from total
rehabilitation it regaining the movement of a thumb. Many athletes have to use the services of a
physical therapist sometime throughout their career. However physical therapists do not only
work with athletes; they mostly work with individuals that have been in accidents or people that
have a birth defect affecting them physically. I would also like to add that a mental requirement
of a job in the medical field, a healthcare worker needs a positive attitude because they will be
around several patients in a work day. Additionally compassion and empathy are also traits that
will help a worker to excel in his/ her career and affect how their patients feel.
Many do not know, but there are a lot of different kinds of physical therapists that
specialize in one specific area. For example an individual could just be a foot physical therapist
and just take patients that need help regaining physical ability in their foot. Also there are
physical therapists that just work with a certain type of age group. Geriatric physical therapists,
for instance, work with the elderly; And pediatric physical therapists only work with children.
Another type of physical therapy is a neurologic physical therapist that specializes in the nervous
system. They would help people regain health from a brain injury, spinal cord injury, or a stroke.
However the most common type of physical therapy is an orthopedic physical therapist. These
types of physical therapists usually work in a hospital on patients that just get out of surgery and
need help regaining that muscle back, or patients that visit a clinic on a daily or weekly basis.
This type of therapy mainly focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including joints, tendons and
bones. This field has many options and opportunities for an individual looking for a specialized
career that makes a real difference. Especially if you want to build relationships are spend a lot
As well as many other careers in the business world, physical therapy also has the
opportunity for advancements, or promotions. A physical therapist usually starts out as a staff
therapist, where they develop their clinical skills. For an individual that is a physical therapist
they can advance on to become a team leader, clinical coordinator, program director, clinic
manager, etc depending on the setting, each job may have a different and unique title. Along
with the room for growth there are many benefits in a career in physical therapy, including the
work environment & one of the common benefits of the field is the 401K-retirement plan that
most jobs usually offer their employees. The facility that an individual would work in sometimes
will also offer to pay for their schooling to continue their education, or to renew their physical
therapy license and certifications. The main benefit of physical therapy is the work environment,
In this field a PT has flexible hours, casual business dress code (my favorite part!), and a positive
If I was going to continue towards this field I personally would want my doctorate, and
would attend Wesleyan University and major in Biology to get into Pre-med, then into a school
specializing in PT. I have always had a dream to help people. Now I have just shifted paths. I
plan on taking my ASVAB later this month, upon passing I am going to swear in and start PT. I
think that I want to take a summer of PT before going to the base in San Antonio, Texas.
Something about Texas in the middle of the summer wearing an ugly hot uniform while
exercising just doesnt seem like my cup of tea. Honestly I am hoping you are not reading this
anymore because it is 11 Oclock Thursday night & I spent way too much time trying to redo
things I lost. I am running on empty at the moment and there is a large slice of chocolate cake on
the counter giving me the googly eyes while I type away on this tangent testing to see if you
actually read these things. Plus I feel like you need a laugh sometimes, yeah Im talking to you
The next two pages are going to be a summed up reflexion on the entire project, Roadtrip
Nation experience, and I just got that piece of cake so Im in a better mood. During my original
interview I had stimulating conversations and heard a lot about personal problems in the
healthcare field. When interviewing Mrs. Langwell I liked that she dwelled on the fact that she
had always wanted to be a teacher, was pushed into the medical field and eventually followed
her bliss and became a teacher for health care careers. In the nursing field she described it as
female dominated, that prevented her from facing gender based social barriers. While working in
a hospital Mrs.Langwell did experience some difficulty getting respect from doctors in the
beginning, she overcame that obstacle by going above and beyond to earn respect and prove
Miss Anne was quite the character, inspired by her Physical Therapist to move and
exercise with encouragement. I think I learned most of all that she lives day to day, having fun
and GAMBLING AWAY HER CANDY! -This whole interview was the definition of a disaster
and i was not prepared for anything that she said-. And Miss Anne was quite the character,

Roadtrip Nation is a great company that involves random teens/ young adults looking for
advice or an entryway into the workforce. If you dont know what to do with your life?Its okay
and dont worry, Nathan, Mike, and Brian (Founders) didnt either. So after college, they bought
a mechanically questionable RV, painted it green, and decided to travel the country asking
15 years later, that road trip has become an organization dedicated to helping people find
career and life fulfillment. In their fleet of RVs, they crisscross the globe, journeying from
rugged back roads to sleek superhighways, subsisting off unnaturally colored gas station snacks,
sleeping in any empty parking lot they can findjust so they can talk to the people who figured
out how to build a career around their own unique combination of interests.
Theyve talked to everyone from Supreme Court justices to lobstermen and used their
insights to shape every career resource we make. The goal? To give us the tools to live a life
doing what matters to you.
