I thank the people that inspired me to keep going even if their is some barriers I have to face on the road to success. This interest in music and mainly running shaped the direction I wanted to go and that was be something to help other face what I faced. I wanted to do something physical at the same time, so I thought of my major to be a exercise physiologist then become a physical therapist. Then I can help people physically and mentally get back in shape or recover from an injury. This is what I want to do fro my life by helping
