    She's perfect for this job, she's so great with kids!
    I don't have a problem with children, I love them. I just feel like I'd burst into tears seeing a child struggle.

      Krista AppleBomb They’re not struggling. They are working with what they have to be as independent as possible. Who says they are struggling? They all looked very happy to me.

    I saw this video two years ago when I was uninspired and looking for a new career path. I just started PT School and I’m so incredibly happy. Thank you 💕😊

      @@xclusive0112 hiii ! I’m sorry I never realized I didn’t respond , but hey congrats on being a senior now woohoo ! My major is Nutritional Science, I chose it bc a lot of the classes I have to take are pre requisites for the PT graduate program . You can pretty much chose any major. Biology, psychology, health science, allied health. Anything. Most PT programs don’t require a certain major

    Can you work as an assistant PT in this field ? Or do they tend to only need Physical Therapists. I don't think I could make it through a Masters degree

    I’m supposed to write a summary for this video in 6 sentences but i’m to distracted with the kids trying to have fun with their disabilities and feeling bad for them. But hey most of the kids shown are around the same age as me now. weird to think about

      I'm dyslexic and I don't think i'm academically smart but i'm going to do it. It's all about willpower, you just have to study longer then others is all and have the urge and passion for it, You got this :)!

    Physical Therapy should be changed to kinesiology.

    • @anointedone9835
      @anointedone9835 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Why though? Kinesiology is just functional Anatomy, You don't learn physical therapy(Diagnosis, treatment) in kinesiology :3
