Recently I have been wondering about how I will be able to gain more experience in order to become a physical therapist. “Recent College Grads” explains that experience is key when getting a job in physical therapy (“Recent College Grads” 1). This experience may include job shadowing, internships, or working as a physical therapist assistant. It also explains how incredibly important it is to get experience because there are so many terms that are used in the field (“Recent College Grads” 1). This is very true because the more a person hears words repeated, the more he or she will remember them. I love coming across articles about my field because it always makes me wonder new things. For instance, is difficult it to find these opportunities? Do most people find them before they graduate? Or is it better to do them after you graduate?

I agree with everything you just said. Experience is a key component to anyone's future plans. When college students graduate the plan is to find a job and some are not marketable enough because their experience level is at a low. As you stated, wondering new things and questioning things within your field is very exciting. Questioning, I feel, is also an important factor to doing what you love and gaining more efficient knowledge on the environment you're in and the future ahead of you. Asking questions will ease your worries and will make the transitions into graduate school, internships, and full-time jobs go smoothly.
