Motivation

So I'm roughly a month and a half into this 5 year process of changing my career. It's gone better than expected in the sense that there a lot of people in my classes are going back to school to pursue other careers. Even today this one woman who is in her 40s said that she's going back to school for physical therapy as well. Although its only been a month there are still days I wonder if I'm making the right decision. I've had numerous people tell me that they could see me being really good and passionate at physical therapy which is always reassuring. Although many of you don't know it, a lot of you motivate me just by pursuing what your passionate about. Friends like Chris, Martin, Jason, Shannon, Judy are all in PT school right now and have been open about answering all of my questions. Also friends like Miranda, Andrew, Angel, Kirsten, Stephen are going through their respective graduate programs. When I talk to them they complain about the long hours of studying but continue to push on because they're focused on the end goal and that's something truly worth fighting for. People like Victor, Maria, Chris who are all already therapists have offered their opinions and advice as well. I also am thankful for the fact that I have friends like Nick, John, Becca, Joshie, Adam who are all going into physical therapy as well. Although we may not be at the same step I'm thankful that we're all able to support each other. Thank you to my friends who have shown their support/belief in me, especially during those times where I don't believe in myself. I truly am blessed to have such an amazing group of friends who support me each and everyday.



Apologies if I missed anyone.
