Born and raised in central Ohio
I am a country girl through and through
I'm currently studying to become a physical therapist
A career path that marks a great achievement for me
At Ohio State University
Admission into the physical
Therapy program is intensely competitive
I made it pass the first cut the first year I applied
But was turned down for admission
I was crushed
Because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist
I received advice from friends and relatives about
Changing my major and finding another course for my life
I just couldn't do it
I knew I could not be as happy in another profession
So I stilled myself
Began to work seriously for another year and reapplied
