My Kinesiography

It was the summer before my senior year when my hockey coach looked me in the eyes and said, “John, we don't have a spot for you on the team.” Immediately a feeling of complete devastation and anger coaxed over my body as I stormed out of the room; but after collecting my emotions, I decided to stay involved with the team and be a student manager. I didn't realize it at the time, but deciding to manage that team was a defining moment in my life because it helped me discover my true passion and vocation.

I was dedicated to study kinesiology and eventually pursue a career in which I could help athletes get back on their feet and back in the game. The major of kinesiology is without a doubt one of the broadest majors out there because it is what most people call a graduate school major. This means that there are limited opportunities for a person with just a kinesiology bachelor’s degree, and to land a job in the work force, a kinesiology major much go to some form of graduate school. However, the field of kinesiology does not hold anyone back when it comes to graduate school. Kinesiology majors can attend medical school, dental school, physician’s assistant school, nurse practitioner school, and many more graduate schools that relate to the human body. Being that this major is so broad, I had to investigate the intricacies of all the possible career paths that I found of interest. While researching, I found that the easiest way to understand the intricacies of a career is to look at the scholarly journals and magazines relating to that specific career. The scholarly journals helped me gain a broader understanding of the career because most of them were case reports about patients.
