Ralph Waldo Emerson

" Character is higher than intellect "

I couldn't agree more. A person can be an Einstein pretty much but if they don't show good character towards other people, it's no point. I've met plenty of people who are extremely smart that you are amazed but then you see their character and you wished you never saw it. Your character is the first thing people will observe when you meet and start to talk. Your intellect is usually the second thing a person learns from you. I've met a few people who are smart, but the have such a sweet character. They don't show off and they always look out for their loved ones. Your character is way more higher than your intellect because your character is how you represent yourself to the world and how well you treat others. I've met these kinds of people everywhere and from the way they treated me, I was able to see their true character, sometimes it was good but other times they were really bad. I won't say I have a great and perfect character because I know I don't but I try to be the best version of myself all the time and I believe that matters way more.

                                              

Physical Therapist Assistant

Duties and Responsibilities: These assistants work under the supervision of a physical therapist and they help aid them in anything they need. They are usually called PTA's. They can do many things like be a clerical, help the patient move to another therapy room and help assist in some exercises. Another thing they might do is help clean the therapy area after its been used and clean some equipment. They usually work in hospitals and offices, but they are usually always on their feet working.

Salary: $45,290 per year

Education: To enter the profession they need an Associate's degree from an accredited program. But Physical therapist aides usually have a high school diploma and receive on the job training.

                  

Reflection: I would like to be one but I would try to escalate and move up position. I would do this job to get experience to that I can become a physical therapist. I would pursue this career because I would be giving back to my community to help those in need and I would be able to work and interact with different people.

"I trust that my hard work will pay off"

Hard work always pays of and not only that but you feel good after. You feel good that you accomplished something by yourself  and that you put your all to improve. At least that's how I feel when I accomplish something I work hard in. Right now I'm in marching band and try outs are coming up but I'm trying to learn all the songs they have given me and I'm trying to march at the same time like the others which to me is kinda hard. I'm walking a little too fast but I know the hard work I'm putting in to get it right will be worth it. I can see that I have been improving and that is a good sign because soon I'll be ready for try outs. I learned from my mom that if you really want something you work hard for it and in a matter of time you'll see your achievements and your progress. This quote reminds me of ants because ants no matter their size, they work hard to get food to the home and to their queen. These little insects work and carry heavy items and they don't stop, it very amazing how a little ant can do this.

           

Physical Therapist

Duties and Responsibilities: A physical therapist, also known as Pt's are people who help a person who has been injured in physical activities. You can usually find them in rehabilitation centers giving the patient treatment to heal whatever they have hurt. They can also help people who naturally already have an illness in movement and they are there to improve the patient's progress. One treatment is that they use exercises, especially stretches to help the person's movement in whatever joint/body part move more efficiently. 

Salary: $85,400 per year

Education: need to be licensed and have a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree

                        

Reflection: I honestly would be very interested to pursue this career because I would like to know more about the body's movement and I would like to help those who have undergone surgery or had a traumatic experience. I would want to be able to help these people either learn how to walk again or simply help the joints/body feel better.

Brigham Young

"True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."

To earn your freedom and independence, you must earn it. I see it as a parent. They won't let you go out if you are rude and disobedient , but if you listen and always do what you are told, I believe that a parent rewards you by giving you your  freedom and trust. A person who has freedom and is independent earned this. They listened and did as they were told without being rebellious and they were rewarded. So yes I can agree with this quote because the way I see it and a lot of people see it, freedom is earned not given. If it were given people will grow up thinking that everything in life is easy but in reality, its not like that. Life is hard and from what I have learned through experience life seems to tear you down even when you are doing something right and staying true to yourself. Even that can be hard at times because life throws you obstacles and through that you see your strength. Doing what is right is hard because many times you have to stand alone and be the unique one or in other words the outcast.
