Get Ready, Get Set…
Throughout this entire summer there is one e-mail that I have been impatiently waiting for. Senior sport assignments. As an athletic training senior we, my classmates and I, are assigned to a sport and work with that sport for their entire season rather than having 5 week rotations. Well, today was the day. I opened my inbox and there it was. Naturally, my computer decided to take its pretty time to download the file but it is official. I am a senior athletic training student with a senior sport. The sport that I have been assigned is one that I requested so I’m really excited and nervous to start! It really makes the upcoming year seem so close at hand and real!
Getting ready for each year has been different. Last summer I was in Chicago and came back one week before school started. I spent that week working with the football team during two-a-days. Going into the school year I felt tired, but this year I’m already super energized and excited. I’m going to need to brush up on some of my injury evaluations and rehabilitation techniques. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be studying something I did not enjoy! Choosing a major can be so intimidating. It worked out well for me because I knew what I was passionate about and what my strengths were. Athletic training just fit.
Four years ago I dreamed of this day (as well as many others). Here it is. I have had a blast being in college and am so glad that I have one more year! Enjoy where you are, people, enjoy where you are. Even if its not ideal it will be over before you realize! All we can do is look forward to tomorrow and enjoy today. I look forward to sharing with you guys the ups and downs of this next year. Talk to you soon!
Have a great day!
