It’s a good starter program for going to Physical Therapy school. I’ve always been fascinated by how the human body works and I love being able to work with people in general. Especially with rehabilitation to get them back to their normal lives. And I don’t like sitting behind a desk all day long. 

 

I went to group fitness classes my freshman year and loved them. One of my instructors told me I should do it, so I got my certification and went through Apps fall training and started teaching in the Spring and I’ve been doing it ever since.

 

Short term, graduate and get into PT school. I think it would be neat to work at a prestigious place, like a research or outpatient clinic some day. 

 

I guess I like my spunky attitude and how I’m always willing to try something new. 

 

Either at home on a couch doing homework or out running on the Greenway. 

 

I would love to go on more hikes and learn how to try snowboarding. 

 

I love the atmosphere and the people. That’s most definitely why I picked App. Plus I love the fall. It’s super pretty.
