Why Did You Choose Your Major

I have always been stuck on the same major since I was a freshman in high school, and nothing has yet changed my mind. Through athletic experiences, and playing three sports throughout high school career, injuries from that sport, shadowing opportunities, and classes that have impacted my choice of my major. I have chosen the major of Athletic Training, and I have many reasons behind why I chose it. From all of my experiences that may have been poor at the time, but at the same time I have felt and have been supported and that is a big part of athletic training and one of the biggest reason that I have chosen the major as well, or I am able to show support to others the way I have felt it. Throughout picking my major, I also have a big support
My world seemed to be shook as a freshman year in high school, but the first sport that I was able to compete in was Alpine Ski Racing. I was at a long weekend at a church retreat, and when I got home I had a late night Sunday ski race practice when I got home. I went to ski racing practice and the weather that day went from raining to freezing rain and the course was slippery, and I got stuck on a gate and flipped over and smacked my head on the ground I told coach I was fine. Practice was almost over, so I did one more run down the hill and at that point I was already uncoordinated and fell down the hill again. I figured I am fine maybe I just fell the wrong, and I would be fine. The next day it was agitation to sounds, lights, and had constant headaches throughout the day, so it was decided that I needed to go to the Athletic Trainer. Even though I was diagnosed with a concussion I grew to like the profession because of the experience I was having, I liked the environment, and liked the people that were associated with the athletic training room. I became very curious about being an athletic trainer, and wanted to be in there a lot more than I really needed to be in there with my concussion. I was told about a class that the organization that had the athletic trainers at school, so I decided to take it. Through even the support of athletic trainers getting an athlete back to playing, and even if they are not playing anymore after that injury, they still support the athlete as much as they can through rough times. Athletic Trainers also support others, but they also support their student athletic trainers, so they learn the most they can do better
