I believe the most important indicators of professionalism that I possess are that I always respect parents wishes to keep information confidential; I would never go around telling information to people that wasn’t necessary. I’m also open to any and all suggestions from parents to help accommodate each family's needs and wants for our classroom. I ensure that the care I provide to the children is consistent, regardless of what is going on at home,…

Everyday in life people make decisions, whether we realize it or not. Everyday individuals are faced with adversity. For example, feeding their families, bringing home money to pay expenses, etc. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:6) Individuals must take steps to reach their potential and family success. To be a physical therapist, people must complete several courses in college and earn degrees. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, “The length of professional DPT programs is typically 3 years.

I have chosen the career path to be a Physical Therapist. A Physical Therapist’s job is very detailed and extremely important to the patient’s well-being. Some of their duties include examining patients as they come in to physical therapy, gathering a plan that is going to get them back on their feet, helping them regain strength, ease their pain, and preventing their disabilities from progressing. Two pros of this career, for me, would be examining patient’s data in order to come up with a plan to meet their needs and being able to give medical information to a patient or their family members. Examining a patient is a pro because it’s solely how the patient is going to get treatment. It’s essential to the process because you can’t help the…
I am planning on making my career as a physical therapist.

Since last year I donned a cap and gown of my alma mater's colors and said goodbye to my undergraduate career. Although graduating was a joyous and momentous occasion, the first few words on the letter from the admissions office quickly humbled me. However, this setback reaffirmed my passion for people and my fascination with the human body, and I knew I had to fight harder. It was quite unusual but in my moment of discouragement I found solace in a silly movie quote. Rocky Balboa screamed at me, “It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." My dream is to help encourage patients who have been knocked down by life and bring them transformation through movement. What better way to embody that spirit than to get up and fight after experiencing a set back myself. In hindsight, I am thankful for how events unfolded.…
While the word `professionalism' usually refers simply to the quality of being professional, in truth it does not describe a single quality, but rather encompasses many different attributes that together define what a professional is. Throughout my experiences in various physical therapy settings, I was fortunate enough to observe therapists who have not only served as my role models, but have also taught me what professionalism really means. Not only excelling in their duties as physical therapists, every person I've been lucky enough to work with has been kind, accountable, and extremely committed, all of which are traits I have tried to emulate in my work as a volunteer and physical therapy technician. While I observed various displays of professionalism in different physical therapy…
To maintain a commitment of professionalism is all about professionalism for both personal and professional growth. The ways I shows that I am professional are: I keep the parents and children files and observations confidential. I am very organized and work in a clean work space. I am hardly if not always on time to work and work related functions. I enjoy working with others and am always energetic with a great attitude with any task. I know how to assist with a disabled child or special needs child. I always ask questions on new rules or ways of going about in my work place to always try to be ahead of the game.…
Another part of professionalism is appearance. The appropriate uniform for the occasion, cleanliness and maintaing customs and courtesies. Appearing well rounded and well kept; so no one can second guess a person’s competence. Being a professional really means doing what it takes to allow my peers and co-workers to know me as reliable, respectful and competent. Regardless of where I work and the type of role I fill, this can take on many different forms with the same end result in mind.…
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.…
2a. I chose physical therapist for my health career from the list. I chose this for a few reasons. I was going through the A column of the careers and only two stood out to me. Physical therapist and personal trainer. I was deciding between these two because I would not mind working as either of these and personal connections. I work with a personal with my friends and my trainer seems to have a lot of fun working like he does and he has great hours. Also, I was talking with him one day and he mentioned that he makes a really good salary because of the amount of people who work with him. I decided physical therapist instead because I have a friend who is in college right now who is becoming a physical therapist. I do not know too much about physical therapy but when I talked to her about it, she had a great passion for it and I want to learn about it.…
