Welcome back everyone! Today I get the opportunity to talk with another classmate and first year Physical Therapy student, Kimberly Dang.  This was a lot of fun because I have not had the opportunity to talk with Kim very much since the start of our program, so hearing her story was a great experience!

Kim started off knowing that she wanted to pursue something in the medical field, but originally had plans to become a Physicians Assistant (PA).  She had an interview lined up and everything!  But in a moment of clarity, she decided it wasn't for her.  She realized that her true passion lied in Physical Therapy and she switched her original plans.  It was a major turn of events in her life, but she made some important realizations about herself and gained valuable life experience in the process!  We talk about a lot of different mental challenges that you come across in life.  Similar feelings that a lot of people experience in their own unique story.  Kim shares her perspective on getting accepted, and the initial adjustment to the intensity of a graduate program.  She is also extremely organized and she shares her strategies on how she is able to stay on top of things during the hectic times of PT school!
