When I graduate and I am licensed I see myself working in a performing arts setting. This can be anywhere from stunt doubles, ballet, Disneyland performers, Cirque Du Soleil, and Drum Corp International. I have always enjoyed performing arts. This stems from me being in marching band from middle school to college. I also have a great appreciation for other arts and how physical and taxing they can be on the body. Therefore, my dream job is to be able to enjoy the art my patients create and know that I was a key part in being able to keep the performer healthy. A normal day in my career would include preparing the performers for their upcoming show and maintaining their bodies to be in peak performance. Because performers can be any age my patient population can vary greatly. I find this aspect to be very exciting because I would be able to apply so much more of my knowledge in one setting. In one day I may be working on a 15-year-old, 20-year-old, and 30-year-old. While many injuries and prevention will be similar, there will also be other considerations to take into account. Many of these athletic trainers also travel with their patients. Something I have always wanted to do is travel and see new places. This setting would give me the opportunity to work and do what I enjoy and see the world at the same time. In order for this to become a reality I have to do something to put myself into a position to get an opportunity. So far I have applied to an internship with Drum Corp International and I have been looking for other summer internships to get me connected to the type of people to make my career come true. Other things I have been doing is trying to keep my grades up and raise my GPA in order to get into the grad school of my choice. I am also working hard to become a good clinician so when I am certified I will be able to be more reliant on my skills rather than being doubtful on my decisions.
This week I had 7 attempts and 2 masteries.

This is where I do my weekly clinical blog assignment. There is either a prompt I am responding to, or I just talk about something exciting I saw during the week.
