    My most significant leadership experience would be when I was in the Girls Varsity Tennis Team. I had been in the tennis team during my highschool years, for 2 years. During that time I learned a lot about being a leader, such as what it means to lead others, and what qualities a leader should have. When I first started playing tennis I started at the position on 2nd doubles, to me I took it as that I was not good enough to play against an opponent by myself on the court. Which was entirely true, because when I began playing I was not any good whatsoever.…

    Imagine if you were an athletic trainer covering a youth football game and you watch an athlete collapse to floor lying motionless after going in for a tackle. Early on, I observed the previous situation unfold before my eyes while working alongside an athletic trainer. Seeing how an athletic trainer must be able to handle such a situation, while communicating to parents and coaches in a calm demeanor, made me realize this profession has something to offer few others entail. Throughout my time as an undergraduate, I constantly looked for new ways to challenge myself not just on an intellectual level, but as a future professional too.…

    At many of the medical schools I interviewed at, I noticed an interesting trend. The nontraditional applicants outnumbered the traditional applicants, who’d taken the traditional college to medical school route. Given that the term nontraditional can be equivocal, I’d like to clarify that I use the term to refer to individuals who choose an unconventional path or took some time off during or after graduating college for personal reasons: to raise a family, discover themselves, improve their application et cetera. Intrigued by this, I spoke to several friends who’d interviewed at different schools about my observation; they’d also noticed a similar trend. While I may not have the data to prove this [most medical schools don’t keep track of the number of nontraditional students admitted] and my evidence is purely anecdotal, I believe the face of the typical medical school applicant may be changing.…

    In September of 2015, I took a class that I never imagined myself taking; teen leadership. A speech class, taught by my band director and involved a lot of socializing with others, creativity, and on the spot thinking. These things- I was not the greatest at. Unfortunately, reality later dawned on me, and I realized that to become- and be great at being- a physical therapist, I would have to be more social, more approachable by others.…

    This experience has helped to redefine my definition of leadership. Leadership is not only being a leader of the group, but it is being put into a situation where you know nothing and being able to excel. A leader must be able to think outside the box and come up with new ideas. I can definitely say that I was leader and performed leadership skills in my experience.
