My Calling to Physical Therapy

Paper Summary:

This is a personal essay explaining why the author feels she would make a good physical therapist, what attracts her to the field of physical therapy, and how, as a child, she was always interested in human touch and its therapeutic powers.

From the Paper:

"One of the greatest gifts given to mankind is that of the power of touch. Touch is a way to communicate, a way to learn, and a way to express emotion. Through touch, even greater goods are possible; touch can be a way to bring health and create wellness. There have been countless studies that have pointed to the healing properties of touch through massage and therapy. Of course, I didn't know about the scientific background behind the connection that exists between touch and healing when I was a child and began to explore these mysterious realms. As I learned more through my studies about therapy methods and healing, I realized that there was a true calling for me to further explore this field. Now, I know that my path in life lies within the field of physical therapy because of my natural calling to this field that has shown itself evident since childhood, my acceleration in all academic studies related to physical therapy, and because of the good I know I can accomplish by pursuing this career."
