My short term plan for the next 5 years in my life is first to graduate fall 2015. After graduating I plan on taking the GRE in summer of 2016. In the winter of 2015 and spring of 2016 I plan on studying the GRE for graduate school and DPT school, also retake some classes. I strive to apply for DPT school fall 2016 if I am not accepted I will go for masters in sports medicine or health care administration. My long-term plans for the next 8 years of my life, if declined admission in to DPT school after finishing my masters then reapply for DPT school Fall 2018. Personally I feel that my goals are realistically possible also with the guidance of my advisers I will make the right choices. My academic goal for this class is to learn how to network and build better relationships outside of school. The impact I want to make in my field of study if to research on how to reduce the likelihood of a stoke happening with people of old age. Between 2005 and 2011 my grandmother had two stokes and was home bound for a while. With therapy she is now able to live on her own again, walk and cook her rehabilitation is one of the reasons I want to be a physical therapist.
