    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.

    Gosh I wish this video was much longer! This is so sweet and heartwarming to watch especially as someone who is really looking into PT. I'm hoping to find an internship as a rising HS senior this year :)

      I want to be a pediatric physical therapist as well, can u tell me what your major and minor is (I'm a junior in high school & I'm sure I want this career path)

    • @AndreaRam
      @AndreaRam Před rokem +1

      @@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

  • @porkchoppeaches
    @porkchoppeaches Před rokem

    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

      @tasha4183 Před 9 lety +17

      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 :)!

    • @kristaapplebomb185
      @kristaapplebomb185 Před 9 lety +13

      It isn't about whether one person is smarter than the other. Just work hard and you'll get there.

    Physical Therapy should be changed to kinesiology.

    • @anointedone9835
      @anointedone9835 Před 7 lety +4

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