Why I chosen this career =)

Physical Therapy.

I’m studying this career for a very personal reason, my cousin. Well he was born with a genetic problem that is called “Bot foot”, and basically consists in a malformation of his foot that would cause problem in the future, like he wouldn’t walk if he wouldn’t had a surgery. Anyways, that’s the main reason, but I do like a lot this career because it had to do a lot with sports, and that’s an area that I really love.

The Physical Therapists, mostly help people to recover the function of parts of their bodies that have been injured or damaged by some reason, such and accident, genetic problem, etc. So they do help people on Rehabilitation, so they can do what they used to do before the accident, or at least, recover some of the functionalities of their part of their body that got injured or damaged.

We actually need a lot of toys, because Physical Therapists use to work with children, and they don’t like to do exercises by their self because they get bored and wont work to get better. Because of this, we use toys such a big balls that make them workout some part of their bodies and they don’t get bored at all. They don’t realize that they are playing to get they body a lot better =).

I like those toys as a favourite tool because they do help a lot, and they make the patients get a lot better.

Swimming


This is a picture of Michael Phelps at the Olympics last year. Well this is one of the pictures that I like the most because it’s about swimming and it inspires me a lot

Well I don’t know exactly who took this picture, but I do know that He/She had to be a professional photographer, because as you can see it’s a very good picture, and when I look at it, I feel like I want to swimming in that second. Anyways, Michael Phelps is one of my idols, but there is someone else too that is an inspiration too: Ian Thorpe. He beated Michaels Phelps 5 years ago, in the Athens 2004 Olympics, and I still remember that moment when I saw that competition and I started to like swimming, Although I couldn’t swim until last year. Anyways, since September last year I became a regular swimmer and now I try harder every day so I can improve and go to competitions, and Who knows?... maybe win some tournaments =).
