Jonah had a therapist that would come into our house and set up an area where Jonah, Noah and I would all stretch together. As I got older I understood what this therapist was doing was improving Jonah’s range and motion and trying to get his ankle to a 90 degree angle. Her job title was an Orthotist, she fit Jonah to his brace and can in to work with him on a weekly basis. I loved the fact there was nothing I could do to take this away for Jonah but we could make life better and easier for him. This was the moment that I realized I wanted to help people for the rest of my life. My sophomore year we were told to start really thinking about we want to do after high school and go to college for, this was then I found out that Prosthetics are part Orthotics, and this amazed me. In my Senior year I went to shadow Erica Webster in Bath, New York, who works in a Prosthetic and Orthotic Office. Seeing her work with people who have had something taken from them physically was moving. The career of becoming a Prosthetists and Orthotists is giving people a second chance, but most importantly giving them
