Getting into Sports Medicine - StudentScholarships.org

When the question of one's dream job is asked, many people have elaborate answers filled with extravagant things and most of all millions upon millions of dollars.

However, for me, that is not the case. My dream job arose from a simple arthroscopic knee surgery that my younger sister had done about five years ago. Following the completion of my sister's knee surgery, she had to begin physical therapy to regain full motion and use of her left knee. For some reason, I decided to tag along with her to one of the therapy sessions and the rest, as they say, is history.

That physical therapy session totally captivated me and changed my whole life goal. For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a pediatrician, but after getting involved in sports and going to my sister's physical therapy sessions, I knew I had another calling that I just could not deny. Since the age of 13, basketball became my life and after several ankle and knee injuries, I found myself spending many of practices in the athletic training room. Combining my passion for sports and intrigue for athletic rehabilitation, I finally came up with the job I would consider a dream.

My dream would be to obtain a B.S. in Biology or Exercise Science/Kinesiology and then pursue a M.D. in Sports Medicine. With this educational background and a lot of Rate this Article:
