How I did it: I started by shadowing my high school's athletic trainer. During this time two major experiences actually influenced me the most towards choosing this profession and I wrote my "why I want to be an athletic trainer" essay about them. I took all of the necessary classes and worked hard to get good grades.During the "application semester," I participated during class, and also ask questions and tried to help out during observation hours. I … Read how I did it…
How I did it: A friend of mine goes to a university who's spring concert was announced to be Jack's Mannequin and KiD CuDi. I am a HUGE Jack's Manneqin fan but had never heard CuDi before, but I asked to go anyways. We got our tickets and brought two of our older high school friends (they're seniors that are going to college next year anyways, chill people).We actually had decent seats, so it was a nice view of the stage. Jack's was AWESOME, he did my … Read how I did it…

“I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count.”
- Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), The Titanic
Quotes from the book I just finished reading, Post Grad:
- “I finally realized that what you do with your life is really just half of the equation. The other half – the more important half – is who you’re with while you’re doing it.”
- “Which do you want to be, a fearless eagle or a safe, quiet little mouse?”
- “You can never be sure of anything. You have to just try. You have to not be afraid to fail.”
