A Career As An Adventure Therapist
The career I think I would take pleasure in the most is an Adventure Therapist. I plan to achieve this and be working as an Adventure Therapist by the time I get out of college. I have the idea to go to University of Mississippi, but I am not one hundred percent sure that is the college I want to attend. It should take around four years in college for me to get my degree for this job and by then I will be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. To obtain this job I need my bachelor’s degree. For a strong background, I need to major in psychology or social work. I want to stay in Mississippi because I do not want to move away from my family and I like to be around familiar surroundings. I think I would enjoy this working here because

Watching people who played significant roles in my life suffer because they did not get the help the needed impacted my life greatly.

    The experience that had a big impact on my life is going to medical camp. The medical camp was held at our local hospital. The camp allowed me to tour the hospital and speak to workers in various positions throughout the hospital. To get into the program I had to write an essay and have a GPA of 3.5 or better.

    “Get off the couch and stop looking at a television screen” is what I tell my three younger siblings everyday. As the older brother, I take responsibility for my siblings’ health and well-being. Instead of playing sports, my siblings prefer staying indoors texting on their phones or playing video games. It concerns me that not only my siblings but also children and even adults nowadays are not motivated enough to get outside, exercise, or participate in physical activities. Coincidentally, pushing my ideals about health and exercise on my younger brothers and sister would eventually shape my career path in physical therapy. I prefer a career that requires being active and working with people on a daily basis than having a desk job and staring…

    Life can change in a split second when an unanticipated injury or disease hinders someone’s normal daily life. Modern medicine, physicians and families can only do so much but physical therapy can help recoup the life many of us take for granted. It often isn’t until we lose something that we as humans realize what we had such as the value of our body’s ability to take us through each day. A physical therapist is the person who stays with a patient for the duration of the rehabilitation process. A physical therapist leads the patient through the process of regaining physical strength and helps the patient regain control of their future. Much like many careers that involve interaction with individuals, physical therapy reaches beyond the workings of the human body and touches many people in more personal ways. In return, a physical therapist will reap many personal benefits from their work with others. There are many requirements to become a physical therapist; specialized schooling, training and certification are only a few. To become a successful physical therapist requires the proper education, a desire to help people, patience and understanding of individuals and empathy for others.…

    The career path I have chosen to pursue is physical therapy. As I was growing up, physical therapy was not an option I would have considered but ever since junior year, my love for physical therapy has grown and pretty much eliminated all other career options. I had never fully understood what a physical therapist did until I became a patient. In the beginning of my junior year I had torn my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial cruciate ligament (MCL), and medial meniscus while playing goalkeeper in a soccer scrimmage. From this point on, I have been rehabbing my knees because of the multiple surgeries I have had over the past two years. The care and positive reinforcement I received during each appointment made me realize that this job was something I would love to do for the rest of my life. The love of sports really has helped me because a physical therapist is like a coach. They push you to your limit and believe in your ability to recover. The information necessary to finalize my decision is a description of the career itself, educational requirements, employment outlook, typical salary, and how the characteristics of mine would fit this career choice.…
