Personal Essay: The Story Of Dr. Hilleman
The story of Dr. Hilleman is very inspirational to me for the biggest fact that he made so many amazing advancements in the medical field. His story really shows that you can do anything you want and that your past doesn’t have to shape your future, but it can really help push you. That’s when the connection to my story had popped out at me. When I was really young, my mom always had to go to physical therapy for when she had broken her back. She would always take me with her, and even though I was really young and didn’t really understand what was actually going on, I remember watching a lot of the people making amazing recoveries, and that really stuck with me. I also really admire his work ethic. It seems like he really had the great work ethic from such a young age, which is …show more content…

After my four years at MSU, I hope to be able to go to John Hopkins to further my education for Physical Therapy. After I finish schooling, I want to work in a practice for a while, then when I am more experienced, I want to try and open my own practice. As for my aspirations at MSU, I really want to be at the top of the class, and just get all the hands on experience I can get, and really enjoy what I am learning.

    The most important goal for my future is to obtain a satisfying career. Growing up I saw how unhappy my mother was working at a job that she hated just to make enough to provide for our family. I further understood how important a satisfying career was to me when I started working the graveyard shift as a dockworker during community college. I strongly disliked almost everything about the job including the exposure to extreme temperatures, the job’s filthy nature, the long and irregular hours, and most of all because it was unfulfilling. I was miserable with my occupation but I was dependent on it because it was lucrative and provided me with a way to support myself through college. I worked fulltime at this job for two years while also being a fulltime student until I transferred to SIU. The dread that I felt toward my job made me work harder academically because I knew that someday my hard work would amount to a career that I thoroughly…
