Physical Therapy
I have changed my mind so many times of deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember when I was real young, I wanted to be a teacher. Going into junior high, I wanted to be a doctor. Then my sophomore year of high school rolled around and I decided I wanted to be a Nurse Practitioner, until I looked up all of what they had to do then I changed my mind. My junior and senior year, I thought I wanted to be a Physical Therapist. When I applied for AUM, I set my major for pre-physical therapy. Now, I'm having second thoughts about it. My dad always told me to go into a career that I know I will enjoy going to every single day and I'm just not all that sure that Physical Therapy is the right career for me. In all honesty, I have no idea what I want to major in and I certainly don't want to major in something that I will end up not liking. I found out about Physical Therapy a few years ago when my older brother broke his elbow and had to go to go a few times a week to his therapist. I researched a little bit about it and I was getting more and more interested. A friend of mine got into a four-wheeler wreck a few months ago and was in the hospital for a few weeks and the doctors weren't 100% positive that he would be able to be back to normal. After getting released from the hospital, he was put in physical therapy and has been there for a month or so, going a few times a week. Although he said it is extremely painful and usually is not looking forward to his next visit, he said it has helped him out tremendously and he is beginning to be able to do the things he could before the wreck. I think it would definitely be an interesting job to have, along with helping people feel better after an accident or surgery. But I'm still not 100% sure that it is the right career for me. Hopefully I will figure out something soon, because I certainly don't want to have to go to college any longer than I have to just because I want to change my major.
