In high school, my best friend’s brother was deployed to Afgha
In high school, my best friend’s brother was deployed to Afghanistan to fight in the war. After months of being in combat, his family received the devastating news that he had been involved in an explosives attack by insurgent forces. He was in critical condition for over a week, and although the doctors managed to save his life, they could not save his leg. He returned from Afghanistan shaken but alive, and started physical therapy at Walter Reed medical center. I visited him many times during his two years of rehabilitation, where I watched as he slowly adjusted to being able to move, and then to moving with a prosthetic. It was this experience that inspired me to dedicate my career to physical therapy, both in practice and in research. When many people think of physical therapy, they have mental images of therapists guiding a patient through simple motions repeatedly in order to “reteach” limbs to function a certain way. Although this is certainly part of their job, another crucial aspect of becoming a physical therapist is the ability to provide emotional guidance and therapy as well. My friend’s brother had an exceptionally talented therapist, who explained that although being without a leg was obviously going to change his life, it was certainly possible to live normally with it – so long as he had the determination to follow through with it. Interacting with his physical therapist and watching him gain confidence in his new life is what really motivated me to enter the field of physical therapy. As a Master’s student in physical therapy, I hope to gain knowledge and skills in many different fields. I will learn the current techniques and methods in the field, as well as the medical basis behind their usage. However, I will also be presented with current research that indicates new directions for the field of physical therapy, and possibly engage in research of my own to model human injury and healing. I believe all these experiences that I gain from my Master’s in Physical Therapy will enhance my ability to engage with physicians and patients in the future as a physical therapist.
