Why do you want to become a physical therapist? - o First off, growing up an athlete and eventually coaching in my free time as I got older, I have always been interested by movement. My interest stems from the idea that movement has such a huge impact on our everyday lives. I entered into my undergrad career as an athletic training major and after a semester, I realized that ultimately that wasn't what I truly wanted to do. I really liked the idea of it, but I wanted an occupation that was similar, but broader in scope in terms of settings and disciplines. Eventually, I felt that maybe physical therapy was what I really wanted to do. And during the first week of my observation hours, it really gave my affirmation that this is what I truly wanted to do. Especially sitting in on the evaluations which was my favorite part. I want to learn and have all the necessary tools to be able to deduce and problem solve to diagnose patients and then lead them into the direction to reach their goals. I am a very goal-oriented person and this is another thing that I love about physical therapy. We all have different goals in life, but it's something that we all are connected by. The desire to achieve our goals and whether a patient's goal is to go back to sport or being able to get on and off the floor to play with their grandchildren, I want to be a part of them reaching those goals. · Why do you want to attend this school? -
