Recommended: Lifelong learning in personal and professional contexts could be encouraged

I will complete all my courses and obtain my first bachelor degree in kinesiology in August. I am so excited because I spent six years on earning this degree. I realized most of my classmates are applying to different graduate schools right now, but I decide to take one year off and engage in different activities. My original plan was apply to the accelerated nursing program after I finished my first bachelor, but I changed my mind because kinesiology was an amazing major and it opened my eyes. I used to believe I could only be a good nurse; however, I gain confidence when I took exercise physiology and motor control classes and believed I have the potential to become a good surgeon. I was hired as a teacher assistant and a lab research assistant

As my senior year of high school concluded, I explored the idea of a career in physical therapy by job shadowing at the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute (ISMI). After observing the PTs at ISMI, I was immediately drawn to a career in physical medicine. A few months later, I started my education at Idaho State and felt exactly like I did when I started sports medicine in high school. I was absolutely enthralled with my classes, naturally excelled in all of my coursework, and always had PT school in the back of my mind. I knew I would have to work extremely hard to develop a strong undergraduate transcript and build a competitive application. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have worked relentlessly to maintain academic excellence and currently have a 3.91 GPA. I have also succeeded in making the College of Education’s Dean’s List for five semesters.

    Personal space, body language, and overall interaction between the participants in the gym was something that I hadn't paid enough attention to in the past, from the distance I could see that their interests. The intimate couples that I noticed in the gym seemed again sought to have created a private space for them by erecting invisible barriers through their private body language directed only at each other, resulting in considerable more space between these couples and other groups of people in the gym.
