I'm a very active person, which has greatly influenced my choice to pursue physical therapy for a career. I have been lifting weights and been competing in weightlifting competitions since I was in highschool. Early on I did not perform to the best of my abilities, but through preserverance I was able to mildly exceed and break some personal goals I had set for myself. Testing the limits of the body and witnessing how through hardwork and determination that these boundaries can be broken, is truly a very rewarding experience. It has allowed me to develop a greater appreciation for people who aren't necessarily trying to improve their capabilities beyond fully functioning, but for those who just want to complete their activities of daily living independtly. Through witnessing my grandmother drastically improve from her physical therapy sessions, and seeing how other physical therapists have greatly benefited the lives of their patients, I believe physical therapy is an amazing career and life choice that I will never regret!<br>
