Personal Statement: Massage Therapy
1. My entire life I have been thinking about what I wanted to do when I "grew up." When I was younger I wanted to be a musician, an artist, a baker, but as I matured I realized I wanted to help make people feel better. That is why I am interested in being a massage therapist.

2. While I am often quite I find that that makes me observant and a better listener. I am a eager learner for new things, hard working, and punctual.

3. I am interested in all kinds of massage therapy, and do not have any experience as to what enviorment would work best for me. Working as a massage therapist in a hopital is what I think I want to do. I want to help the people that need it most, and provide comfort for anyone who needs

    I never really had an answer when grown-ups asked me what I wanted to be when I was little. Did I want to be a Veterinarian? Maybe, animals are awesome. Teacher? I’d rather just learn. Astronaut? Only if they make space food tastier. Now I’m about to be one of many so-called “grown-ups” and I finally have the answer. I want to help people. I will help people. I am going to be a social worker.…

    Scenario 1: I had a new client come in, we followed the same rules and procedures as usual. She filled out the medical intake form, which I reviewed once it was given to me. The medical intake form, had listed some potential contraindications. Such as diabetes and high blood pressure. I went to go to introduce myself and took her to the therapy room. Once we were in a private room, I told her that those conditions could possibly prevent her from having the therapy performed. I started to ask her more about her conditions. I discovered that she had appropriate medication for all of her diseases. She mentioned that she had been living with them for several years, even stating that she had asked her doctor about massage therapy. I then decided that since her conditions were under control, I would perform the…

    The Clusters Psy/230

    I am very outgoing and sometimes consider myself to be very talkative, even when people tell me to be quiet I cannot help it. That is just the type of person I am. I like to be heard even if I am the only person listening to myself my brain is always running and developing new thoughts and ideas to discuss with other people. Whenever I am with my friends they are constantly telling me to be quiet because I never stop talking I just do not like it to be quiet. I feel that I am the life of the party I also do this at work with my co-workers I just like to talk I feel I have a mouth to express myself and be heard. Openness to experience I feel is another that describes me well because along with always thinking and talking I an very curious to know a little about everything. I feel that I can learn about different things forever, and that I can always learn how to do something I already know a different more efficient way. Curiosity never hurt anyone I believe the world is full of many mysteries and we must unlock and discover them to learn what they are. I also find myself building thing without the instructions not because I do not need them, but because I am curious to see if I can create what I am building without them. Even if I do not know something on a subject I will sometimes act as if I do because I want to see how gullible people are, and I also know many facts about everything so it is easy to believe me. Using agreeableness I would consider myself to be ruthless and soft-hearted why, because I tend to be easygoing and am kind to people I know, but if I do not know you I am not going to be nice to you. Do not get me wrong though even with people I know I can turn on if they give me a good cause to snap on them. People who hitch for rides I…

    Physical therapy involves treatment through physical means for people disabled by illness, accident, or congenital handicap. It seeks to improve mobility, relieve pain, or minimize permanent physical disabilities (Occupational Outlook Handbook). The physical therapy career field interests me for many reasons. It revolves solely around the human body, which is a fascinating topic to learn about. This area of expertise is flexible and rewarding. There are many specialty areas to choose your career from; some of these include orthopedic, geriatric, neurological, and pediatric. As well as flexible concentrations, physical therapy can have flexible work environments. These jobs can be conducted in many types of facilities such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, private offices, rehabilitation clinics, assisted living facilities, educational institutions, sports centers, and home health agencies (Occupational Outlook Handbook). The work environment and broad range of specializations are major factors in my choice of this career path.…

    In my life, I have been a patient too many times to say I am well familiar with different roles in health care.

    What if people lived healthier lives, practiced preventive medicine, and took precautions against illness and disease? My days in the physical therapy department often made me think about the prevention of injuries as well as the injuries themselves. I was already doubting my future career choice as a physical therapist. Although I loved the science of it and helping people, the lack of variety within the field and its limited options for growth bothered me. I needed a career that helped a large number of people, emphasized prevention and primary care rather than tertiary care, and would continually challenge and motivate me to improve. Knowing that I really did not want to pursue physical therapy as I had originally planned, my thoughts wandered to the area of public health, particularly health management.…

    I rolled over and I saw the feminine looking guy. He was, of course, naked. There I was, lying on my back in an open air massage area with others also getting rubbed on the massage tables while this pretty man with amazing hands was rubbing all over my body with a very relaxing massage techinique. I felt ecstatic! Once more, I started to fall asleep when he moved to my head end of the table and started massaging my shoulders and neck form the front. Closing my eyes, I relaxed as I let his soothing hands do their thing. I mst have dozed off a bit because I suddenly became aware of his hands rubbing me between my legs. Looking down on my feet, I saw a man leaning over rubbing my cock and taking it into his mouth, but the massage was continuing…
