Personal Mission Statement

              As I begin the most important part of my life, my dreams become my goals and will eventually become a reality. In high school, I participated as a varsity wrestler and captain of the team for two years, however it was a very rocky experience.  The only season I wrestled the whole way through was my freshman year, every year after I was riddled with injuries.  I have five bulging discs in my neck, I fractured my fibula twice, and tore my right medial meniscus.  Having gone through this makes me want to help anyone going through what I did.

            I was also a peer mediator in high school, I helped many students get through problems they had without causing a fight.  By senior year I was speaking to freshman classes who were said to be the troubled kids, I spoke to make an impact on them and to try and help them want to graduate in four years.  Many students came to me with problems of their own and I continued to try and help each and every one of them, I plan to continue helping anyone who needs it. I may not have gone through everything but I know people who have, and I would be able to provide some advice.  I plan to use this skill in my career as well to help anyone cope with what they are going through and hopefully allow them to continue participating in whatever they love.

            My career choice is physical therapy mainly for sports related injuries. Bridgewater State University has granted me with opportunity to continue wrestling and follow the career path that I chose.  Along with helping athletes with their injuries I plan to help my family financially and hope to support them with whatever they need.  MCPHS is the best option for graduate school in my field, I will graduate from BSU with a 4.0 GPA allowing me to get accepted into graduate school for the physical therapy program.  Wrestling in High School took up most of my life, I was in school from 7 A.M. to 2 P.M. and right after would go to practice until 7 P.M. sometimes later.  I had no time for school work, however I managed to still graduate with a 3.6 GPA. In college, I have more time in between practice and it only lasts for 2 hours, I will balance both perfectly so I can accomplish goals in wrestling and school combine.  I will become one of the best physical therapists in my field and help all who go through what I went through or worse
