I enjoyed the college class because it was a fun learning environment for me. I learned a lot from my teacher and sociology is a great subject for anyone to get to know. Socially looks at the bigger picture as opposed to the smaller picture in which we as human beings look at. Sociologist make sure that they know how the action or questionare will affect people and how it will not. The differences between high school and college is the time factor. The responsibility that you have to have in order to be in class at the appointed hour and stay for the entire time is just all on you. In high school you're forced to stay the entire time and it makes you feel locked up in a jail cell with no way out until the 2:50 bell. In college its freeing. You don't have to stay the entire time but you have to know the material. The most challenging aspect of college would have to be, well I don't really know, not having your friends there with you. I would recommend this class to future students without a doubt. Sociology is a wonderful class to take to learn how people interact with each other and how to treat people. It opens your mind and ou get a greater respect for everyone.

Shadow

This past Monday, I did not shadow anyone. We were supposed to shadow someone in the profession that we wanted to go into but a few of us were stuck in a conference room listening to very helpful information about UNMC. Had I shadowed a Physical Therapist, I would have been very happy with my experience. The conversations between patient and therapist, the love hate relationship is just awesome. The chance to have someone not like because you're helping is alright at first, but when they start to feel better and they warm up to when things get better; well there is no greater feeling on earth, just the feeling you recieve from helping someone else; a sense of accomplishment and an extreme sense of joy. ;)

Why Do i want to attend Creighton

Creighton is one of the greatest schools in the midwest for the medical field. It has many opportunites and internships and just having the college name on a resume is enough to get a second look. They also have a very well known softball team and softball is the greatest game ever played in a diamond in my book. They succeed not only in the medical field but in law and other fields as well. They are clearly the best choice for me because they have my major and my heart. I would love to be a Bluejay. They are the most amazing athletic players and the most amazing school. BLUEJAY's RULE!

My Mother

My mother has had the biggest influence on me. She was there for me to guide me, support me, and push me to make myself a better person; to strive for the unattainable and see for you that you can actually make there and be on top. She taught me to make a way for myself and whatever I receive from someone else is extra. She is important to me because she makes me want to do better, and to be a better person. Although I don’t tell her enough, she’s the reason why I’m in school as a good student instead of a bad student. She’s my inspiration and I love her with all my heart. Without her I would not be such an achiever, I would be less of the young woman I am today.

What issues matter to me?

The issues that matter most to me are the ones dealing with teenagers. The bad reps that people seem to think about whenever a teenager is mentioned; from stealing to getting pregnant, from acting out to getting into car wrecks, these mentioned acts happen to all ages, not just teenagers. The working class adults have forgotten their youth and the way they were treated. All the focus is on the bad, and none is ever pointed to the good. It seems to me that the world as I knew as a child changed drastically. It seems to me that whenever you hear of a teenager, it’s not something that is a good thing. All the positive aspects of a teenagers life is cast away as though it were something that no one cared about. Focusing on the bad is all that people want to know of and/or hear about. The judgments that we as teenagers go through are not only wrong, discriminating, but disgracing. It makes us, feel as though we’re nothing until we become if we make it there an adult. This is an important topic because I want the world to see teenagers as just another age group doing good, and for people to stop focusing on the bad and realize that all the good teenagers do should be emphasized more than its counterpart.

Achievements

I am a very driven person when something that I really enjoy doing comes my way. Since freshman year I decided to become a Physical Therapist. I enjoy helping people feel better and meeting new people and getting the chance make a difference in someone’s live. I take joy in knowing that the profession I will enter into will both be a delight and a challenge. I was a second year Athletic Trainer this past school year; I was involved in a great amount of incidents involving students at my high school. From helping someone remove stitches to cleaning up blood from a broken nose I did it. I became someone who has grown in the field of medicine and can only go up from there. I lettered in athletic training and I am very proud to have been able to have had the opportunity to learn the sports medicine field.

First Week

The first week of the program was definitely a learning experience. I was away from home for more than just a couple of days without my family, I was roommates with three other people, the list goes on. In the first week I had to learn how to schedule my time and find time to have fun. There was some drama, but what would life be without it, Utopia? A world free from complication. My motivation for this week was my mother. She's always so proud of me for succeeding in whatever I choose to do with my life. She is my inspiration for whatever I want to do. What challenged me the most throughout this whole week was just adapting to the surrounds which I was brought into. Meeting new people and making friends. I learned that I am ready to be on my own, but I am still willing to have guidance from my parents, friends, and advisors. The experience of just being on my own time schedule, and having to know where to go, and when to go there; to be on time helped me to figure this out for myself. I am a senior in High School and I am beginning to see the world around me as more than just what it has been before, a closed door dying to be opened, a world that the lock that once stood before has been broken and I am ready to walk up to it and when I get there, open the door to this new world.
