Why My Major is Useful
I have always wanted to be an athletic trainer. I knew that making it pro in a sport would be a long shot, but I wanted to stay around sports my whole life. So I choose athletic training as my major. Majoring in athletic training will give me the opportunity to be around sports and be around something I really love.
My major is very useful. I want just learn things to help athletes. I will learn things that could help people in everyday emergencies. I have to become certified in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). That could come in handy in any situation, not just help me be a athletic trainer. If someone is in a car wreck and needs immediate medical attention I could use my background as a athletic trainer to help the injured individual until the paramedics arrive.
Also with my major I could help people with minor injuries when they have to wait to go to the doctor. I know some older people who have issues dealing with arthritis and other minor injuries to their bodies. Most of them hate going to the doctor just for minor injuries that sometimes their insurance will not cover.

    Workout Persuasive Speech

    I was wondering if I could come in and talk to you about the physical education requirements needed to graduate. I have my own strict personal workout routine that I do daily, and adding a sport would be both physically and mentally tiring. I understand that I could just stop my routine to save my time and energy for the sport, but I have done this routine for years and it keeps me fit and awakens my brain. The workout applies to my body, my strengths, and my weaknesses personally. I am contacting you to ask for a time that I can come in and talk to you about what the real benefits of and reasons that doing a sport are and how it differs from my personal workout. I also wanted to come in to ask you if there is any alternate possible way to…

    Professional Soccer Player

    During my off season from soccer, I plan to be a sports commentator for ESPN or to open up my own personal training business. This will help me to make more money and allow me to continue to work after I retire from professional soccer. I would like to eventually be asked to commentate for the women’s FIFA world cup. If I do not follow through with my main plan because of injury or loss of interest, I would like to go to college solely for a degree in business and sports education. After graduating from college, I would open up a full time personal training business for soccer teams. There I would be able to teach many young players the game of soccer and help them to perfect their…

    Personal Narrative-Paid Analysis

    The most significant extracurricular activity that I participate in would most likely be track and field during the indoor and outdoor seasons. I maintain a paid job and also help out at the local library, yet my experience as an athlete for Exeter High School has instilled within me invaluable time management skills, work ethic, and determination. Lettering all previous years I have competed, and being elected the team’s most valuable player last year, I work extremely hard on and off the track to achieve my goals. Balancing training with school can be difficult at times, but in a way I seem to work better having more on my plate. Receiving the scholar athlete award every consecutive season since sophomore year goes to show my greatly improved…

    Whats Your Major?

    At a young age, we’re always asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer at first was to be a social worker. As time passed and I got older that same question was asked again but this time my answer wasn’t a social worker but a cop. Every time that one question was asked, my answer would change maybe it was because of the situation I was in and the help I would get from the police, social worker, and teachers it made me admire them. Time once again went by and it was time to do college applications. One of the first few questions was “What’s your major?” I choose “undecided”. Second year in college “What’s you major?” this time there was no choice of undecided I had to choose I was clueless not totally in-the-dark clueless but I had an idea of what it was. Before choosing majors researcher about it, seek for help and thing about it if in the long run your choice of major is something you see yourself doing in the future.…
