Bold PointsBio
I am so thankful that I can continue my education. I am pursuing a physical therapy career. Within this career, I can experience the freedom of traveling or building up and running my practice. I am extremely passionate about sports and have been a part of sports ever since I was born. I was raised by parents who coached me, I have played sports ever since I could walk. Becoming a physical therapist would allow me to help athletes continue their passion after an injury or a setback. It is my goal to encourage and support athletes as much as possible. Sometimes, all anyone needs is a little motivation and someone who believes they can, I want to be that person.

Freddie L Brown Sr. Scholarship
The clouds blocked the sun
I wanted to run
But then the sun came back
I was no longer under attack
The boy was talking
I was walking
We had the same stride
He noticed me and wanted to hide
AH! he shouted
I couldn't understand what about it
He ran
I ran
What were we running from
I think he was being dumb
He hid under a tree
No longer could I see
He came out
But with a shout
There I stood again in the sunlight I was strong
It's where I belong
I was his shadow
Jim Coots Scholarship
This scholarship would not only help me physically by creating a smaller payment plan through my college but also help me emotionally by relieving stress off my shoulders in the following semester. Receiving this scholarship would allow me extra time to concentrate on my school work and less time worrying about financial instability. While I may be pursuing a physical therapy degree, I am very passionate about natural healing and prioritizing others' health no matter what kind of help they need. I understand that when a person is not able to be in the correct mindset they are not able to be in the correct place for performance. I am a track athlete and I experience on a day-to-day basis, that when your head is in the wrong place your body cannot correctly accomplish a goal. As an aspiring physical therapist, I would not only focus on the physical outcome but my goal would be primarily on the balance of the patient’s mind and body as a whole. Even though the title of physical therapist has the word physical in it, physical therapists do so much more. The physical therapist's role is to of course treat the body whether that be a joint, a muscle, or both but they also advise ways to stay healthy. Physical therapists focus also on sleep, nutrition, and psychological factors. Some physical therapists can also add other forms of therapy on top of physical therapy to receive a more holistic healing opportunity. These would be considered a yoga-based rehab, a myofascial, acupuncture, and more to give you the experience that you need to be healthy as a whole and not just physically. I am very interested in yoga, like I said as an athlete I believe that yoga gives your body a way to refresh and feel connected as one. When I do yoga I feel so connected to my body and feel as though I am in control. Yoga also allows me to be physically active and recover my body all at once. My ultimate goal in life is to be a physical therapist but also own a goat yoga studio that I can refer my clients to to help them in the best way that I can no matter what they need. I am very passionate about goats and I have a little farm of goats currently, I have done plenty of research on the mental health portion of what animals do for people and also the study of how yoga can be beneficial to the body and soul of someone.
