Given that opportunity I have learned valuable lessons and deve

I did not only research the field of physical therapy but I later in life had to be treated in physical therapy for several months, because of a dislocated shoulder and because of an anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction surgery.

There I discovered my deep compassion for others and my strong desire to help people. loped a new passion for life because of volunteer work I did in the nursing home environment. Given the opportunity to work as an physical therapist aide, I have learned so much more about the field by having hands on experience and I have learned that there is a myriad of diverse modalities that is present in my work situation and had the ability to apply some of the modalities in different treatments. By having to undergo these different treatment protocols I was given the opportunity to learn different treatments and techniques, but I also had the chance to perform some of the different modalities of physical therapy that was appropriate for my rehabilitation program. By having to undergo these different treatment protocols, I began volunteer work at various facilities and later was given the opportunity to become a physical therapist aide at Yoakum Community Hospital in Yoakum, Texas. I love people and I am very interested in the way the human body works. By being a physical therapist aide, I also had the opportunity to work and continue to work with a diverse group of people, which was awesome because I love people and love making a difference; therefore, by becoming a physical therapist you have the chance to make a positive difference in the people"tms quality of life and well-being.
