Social

My "type" is social. This means that i like to be around people and that i enjoy helping others. It also means that i would contribute to society in some way. It also means that i have strong interpersonal and communication skills and i tend to be empathetic, patient, and understanding. In some ways this is true and some ways it is not. For example, when it comes to being understanding and empathetic however i am not really patient when it comes to some sort of things. Then as i looked down at the majors that the website advised the two majors i wanted to study were in there which are physical therapy and psychology. This website really made me realize what i want to pursue once i get out of high school.    

My Heroes

Growing up, I've always looked up to many people, many of them althletes. However, the only people i consider my heroes are my father and my mother. The reason they are my heroes is because of everything they have done so much for my family and me. From the beginning, my father was the provider for those in my household. He would take any job that was available just so we could have a bite to eat everyday. You could tell that it wasnt easy for him because when he would come home from work he would be dirty and worn down. Yet, he still woke up everymorning to go on and do the same thing all over again, that is until he got injured in a soccer game about 4 years ago. Ever since that day he could not go back to work because his injury is still there. Even though his injury hurts him greatly at times, he still finds a way to earn money. From helping a friend with something to catering for quinceneras and weddings. He wasnt the only one that had to change his ways due to his injury. My mother was a stay at home mom but she had to change that and get two jobs just so we could make it through the day. My mother worked from 6 in the morning to about 10 at night. Sometimes i didn't get to see her for three consecutive days because she worked so much. Then she got a promotion in her first job and so she quit her second one. These past four years have been extrmely diffucult for them, yet they still haven't given up. I can easily tell you what the characteristics my hero would need to have. My hero would be determined, hard working, must have endurance, and they never quit no matter what obstacles or challanges a put before them. There is no doubt that my parents have these characteristics.

Sports Mentality

If you click both of the two links below, they will lead you to a clue that will give you an idea to what i would like to study in college. These links are on Psychology and Sports Psychology and they both give information on articles and current events that have to do with Psychology. The reason i would like to pursue this career is because when i came back from my knee injury i recovered physically however i did not recover mentally. I kept thinking that my soccer skills were no longer great and i was very depressed because of it. I would like to help others that are going through this problem in the future so they keep playing the sport they love.

The links below here are links to blogs that have to do with Physical Therapy. The reason i am following these blogs is because this is something eslse i would like to do. The reason i would like to do this in the future is similar to the reason as the paragraph above. I have had many injuries throughout my life its unbelieveable. I would like to help others in the future with injuries so they can go back to doing what they love to do.
