My First Stress Manufacture

My parents have always strongly encouraged me and my brothers to think about others before ourselves, which often means going outside of our comfort zones. A few times a year my church packs bags that we then bring downtown to give to the homeless. These outings can definitely be uncomfortable at times and I do not always want to go, however events like these help shape me as a person. I have learned to think past my own discomfort and look at the needs of others. Although I am far from perfect, I try to think of other people because that is where we can actually find happiness. If people are constantly focused on ourselves, we will never be truly satisfied. It is only when we think of others’ needs above our own that we begin to feel a sense

This prevented me from being able to do the sports that I loved. For the next two years, I went to multiple different doctors, each one giving a different diagnosis and a different method of healing. Clearly none of these worked for any real length of time. It was not until the fall of 2017, when I was told once again that I had a stress fracture, that I transferred to a smaller health establishment and was told that I had been misdiagnosed and did not have any fractures. The whole experience was very frustrating and it made me realize the effect that I could have on people’s lives by entering the field of kinesiology. I saw many different doctors, but I never felt that any of them were really trying their hardest to help me. I felt like I was just being passed along after a 30 min conversation. I realize that doctors are busy and that they cannot take the time to think and care about each of their patients, but I feel that I will have that opportunity as an athletic trainer. As awful as the process of recovering from my injuries was, I do believe that I grew as a person. I gained patience and humility, as a hope of being able to help other like-minded
