I hope to become a Physical Therapist. When I was a small child, I had a rapid growth spurt that caused both of my hips to dislocate. I had to have therapy for a long time afterward and continue it at home even when I stopped going regularly to the clinic. The Physical Therapist who treated me helped me walk and move my legs again in a time in which I was very scared that I could be paralyzed. I believe God allows things to happen to us in life to prepare us for our future or to point us down the right path, and I intend to go where He points me.

I expect to continue my education at William Carey University after graduating with a bachelor's degree in biology. I endeavor to earn my doctorate in physical therapy to bring comfort and healing to others as I was once comforted and healed. God has blessed me with the ability to attend a Christian University that's not far from my home and offers a program in which I hope to make my career.

I enjoy an extensive variety of activities that include swimming, hiking, running, fishing, reading, writing, painting, gardening, primping, watching Christian comedy and sermons, caring for and playing with my dogs, spending time with my family, and spending time with God.
