Physical Assistant Career Aspirations
Career Aspirations
My career aspiration is to become a physical therapist. I am going go to school for (PTA) physical therapist assistant. I chose PTA because, I like to help people. What started my interest for going into physical therapy was having to help my great grandma, that my mom took care of. My Grandma had alzheimer's and dementia; she lived till she was 83. As we took care of my grandma, I watched her health dwindle. In the early stages she could walk fine on her own. Every now and then we had to help her walk, It wasn't anything too serious. But as the years passed her walking ability needed help. In the last few months of her life, she wasn't able to walk at all. She became bed ridden, but we still tried to get her to walk every now and then but she was so weak, it was very hard for her. Having to help her walk, and with other disabilities that she couldn't do on her own. I grew an interest for it, I decided to pursue the career. I will start pre reqs this summer, and all the other classes i will need to take so i can mainly focus on the pta classes. Once i get those classes out of the way i will start the pta classes. I will taking them at my local community college, they program they have there is a two year program, and at the end of the semester you will be helping …show more content…
out in facilities and or hospitals, for a lot hands on training. Once I complete the two year program, i will go to work for a year or so and save money so i can go back to college and become just the physical therapist.
The current courses I am currently taken do not help to what I want to pursue.
The classes at my school are select. There is one class that I would like to take that would help me, but it is too late for my to transfer classes. If I did transfer into that class it would help me a lot. At the end of my senior year, I will be doing a senior project which is job shadowing. It's basically where you go to a business and ask them if you can job shadow, follow them around and be able to see and get hand on of what you want to do. You shadow them for a week or so, In the end you get to see if that career is right for you. Doing that will help me alot too on if the job/ career is right for
me.
In 10 years, I see myself being a physical therapist. I will financially stable, and will have the chance to do more things, with my family and for myself. I’ll be able to support the family that I would want and I would earn enough money so that I could start a saving my my children to go to college and pursue their dream job, just like what I did. I see myself working for a hospital, helping people learn to walk, talk and just help them gain their strength back. Watch them grow, and become the person they once were. I will be able to meet extraordinary people and listen to their stories. I will be leaving in a nice house, with 2-3 wonderful children. We will have a couple dogs and maybe a cat. My children will have the chance to do the activities the would like to do, go to camps, and other things that would make them a good person.
