Why You Should Stick To Arts

Since I was a little girl, I've been constantly compared to others and never been able to voice an opinion. Constantly hearing "you should stick to arts and crafts" or "boys are smarter than girls", made me question my abilities. It made me think that I had to know everything in order for someone to listen to me. My mom would say "do whatever you like do, yet show the world that you are brilliant in that". I made it my mission to never give up and to create a better future for myself. I threw myself into my studies and join all different kinds of programs in order to find what I passionate about. Now I have discovered my love of physical therapy, not only do I want to join that career but I want to have a balanced mindset and be continuously
educated in that field. All throughout school, I've pushed myself as much as I could handle academically. I joined every advanced or career specific class I could get my hands on. It taught me responsibility, time management, and failure is never the option. I am proud of my achievements in school, whether or not someone thinks so. I not trying to impress anyone but myself of what I can accomplish in a lifetime. My main goal in life is to become a physical therapist with some knowledge of a nutritionist. I enrolled in classes such a lifetime nutrition and wellness and anatomy to figure out the main concepts of the human body. Even though I read books about the body, both mentally and physically, i'm left still curious. I knew if I joined this field I would never have a day that I wasn't going to be learning about something new because the world is unpredictable and it cause injuries, and you can't treat every problem the same because people are different.
Not only do I improve my skills academically, but with extracurricular activities as well.
I was in the Color guard program and sports medicine. It taught me life long lessons about being dedicated and how to collaborate effectively with others. Through brutal practices and stressful competitions I rose to the top,knowing that if I believed I did the best that I could have every single time. Yet, these program taught me information on the human body while working. I also am a part of outside Culinary Art activities such as catering events to learn things such as budgeting and organization, that I may use to later in life to be more efficient with things such as money. Its like having a job, you may not be getting paid money, but you're paid in experience that will be seen as work effort to others who need a good employee. Even though I sacrificed most of my time into these programs I still took time out to relax and reflect on my choices and create a balance mindset between who I am and what I want to be and grow from that to improve my weaknesses and exhibit my strengths. I create daily goals to achieve this mindset so that i'm never left lost about my identity. My future is bright and waiting for the taking. I will be continuing my education to becoming a physical therapist by taking more classes based on the anatomy of the human body and the injuries that follow it such as Sports Medicine. Throughout this process called life, I've begun to feel more passionate about everything I do and how I will make decisions in the future. I want to be in control of my life, and try to make it the best it can be. In order to reach my goals I will continue to push myself until I achieve and never stop believing in
myself.
