Born and raised in central Ohio, |
[00:02.81] |
I am a country girl through and through. |
[00:05.38] |
I'm currently studying to become a physical therapist, |
[00:09.10] |
a career path that marks a great achievement for me. |
[00:12.58] |
At Ohio State University, admission into the physical |
[00:16.82] |
therapy program is intensely competitive. |
[00:19.58] |
I made it pass the first cut the first year I applied, |
[00:23.76] |
but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, |
[00:27.44] |
because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist. |
[00:32.03] |
I received advice from friends and relatives about |
[00:35.96] |
changing my major and finding another course for my life. |
[00:39.47] |
I just couldn't do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. |
[00:44.42] |
So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied. |
