    My professional philosophy for athletic training encompasses four main areas, which are the value of the profession, role of education, ethical behavior and relationship to others. I included these areas in my professional philosophy because I believe that they encompass aspects that help structure your actions and the manner in which you carry yourself. It is important to recognize the value of your profession as an athletic trainer and to embrace the variety of roles that you may take on. I feel that if you value your profession, you will always work hard and try to make the best choices and decisions in certain situations. As mentioned in the BOC Standards of Professional Practice, you must ensure the highest quality of care for each patient.…

    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.

I was always one of those kids who just could not sit still - so I was into everything, climbing trees, riding bikes, swimming, sports, you name it I was into it. However my discipline to this way of life came when I discovered basketball, it was when I was about 13/14 and shot up to practically the height I am now, so my teachers said why don't you try and develop your skills as a basketball player as I was taller than most of my teachers at 13 which lead them to think I'd grow to be some kind of 7 foot giant, but unfortunately that didn't happen, would've been cool though.…
