After a summer of relaxation and fun, it might be hard to get jump started for the fast approaching fall semester. But, have no fear, I have just the thing to get you motivated to open up your books and start learning. Your motivation can be found in a recent article published on ADVANCE for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants. The article is titled, PT Provides a Priceless Gift, and tells a story of one man's struggle to regain his spirit after a debilitating injury, and the gift of "life" his therapist gave him.
Take a moment and read the story of Rich Dixon, and his Physical Therapist, Leonard. After reading their story you will see how important your future role as a therapist will be, and, how you will have the ability to change peoples lives. You have chosen a great career path. So, when classes get too hard or clinicals get too long, just think about this story, and know that after you get through your studies you will have the ability to make a difference in someone's life.
