Many of my traits have been put together to create a strong force within the world, with a large percentage of my traits deriving from my family, and mostly from my dad. His force is very military -based;, private, competitive, and respectful. While I have gained many trof my faither's directly from my dadits, but private is not one of them,; inaturallydeed the opposite. I enjoy opening up to others, in order to find a connection,. tThrough some connections I have made with people, I have strengthened my trait of empathy to lift people out of darkness, by accentuating the positive aspect in a situation, and redirect the negative. The combination of traits that create what drives many of my decisions will supcomplement my role for a successful physical therapist.
I plan to work for my title,; I am fighting for a doctorate in physical therapy with a minor in business in my back pocket. My weakness has always been in math and, from negative situations I have been through, I have learned that my weakness can be strengthened, and when that is achieved, I have to see the situation infrom a new aspect that no longer seems as negative as I once thought it was. My goal is to build, own, and drive my own clinic and not fully depend on an outside business person, so the knowledge of business in my pocket can help me understand the direction and terms that will house my career.
I have had an untraditional path till now,. I took advantage of my high school’s running start program during my senior year to save money, but it also meant a large sacrifice from my, already smalittle, amount of a social life. I did not get ahead, like the program intended on, but I continued my attendance at the community college for a year and earned my associate's degree. By then I was ready to leave home and itched to prove myself capable of independence. I had the choice between two schools, SPU and an out of state university. The cost of out-state tuition, in comparison to in-state, discouraged me, and I apparently did not want the full effects of independencye as I had thought, since I chose to stay in my comfort zone and chose the school that was only an hour-long ferry ride away from my family. I wish I would haved the same knowledge I have now, about how money should have never been a determination for where my education was going to come from, as well as my view on comfort versus being in the unknown. I have learned that going through the unknown can end up being enlightening.
Many major experiences I have gone through were guided by my family,; I started out in grade school with very little amouexperientce of outside family events. My experiences were rounded by my time spent babysitting my younger sisters. Memorizing a song from the Disney movie, Lilo & Stitch to reenact the dance moves and sing along
