Khakis on Khakis
I took this snapshot in my dorm room in Torres House on north campus because it really illustrates how much time I spend at my athletic training clinicals during an average week. I work with the women's volleyball team every single day for up to 7 hours a day (sometimes more if there is a home game), so my weekly attire literally consists of khaki pants/shorts and the issued athletic training dry-fit t-shirts. While doing my laundry last week, I hung everything up to dry and thought it was the perfect moment to capture my usual attire. My ultimate goal in life is to become a physical therapist, and I feel that this snapshot shows how my days at OSU this semester are a lot different than your average college student. All of my classes are revolved around my clinical hours, and I don't mind it one bit. While the athletic training program is not easy, it is the best path to take in order to gain the most hands-on experience that I can bring with me to graduate school. I want nothing more than to be successful and support my family and parents in the future as they have done for me in the past and in the present. One thing that I like about this snapshot is the single, red athletic training polo at the bottom of the drying rank. I only wear that polo on game days, so it shows that while I have to work many long hours and attend many long practices, the hard work eventually pays off and I am allowed to work a Division 1 volleyball game on my own - all because my patients/athletes trust me.
