Ever since the 9th grade I had finally decided to become an Athletic Trainer. An Athletic Trainer to me is just a permanent water girl. It does have a label but everyone has always told me “You’re just going to stay a water girl forever aren’t you?” But an Athletic Trainer is a healthcare professional that collaborates with a physician.

With the internship through the school I am working through Levi Hospital. I have to have 180 volunteer hours buy the 19th of December, and as of right now I have around 61 hours.
