I decided that I wanted to become a Physical Therapist when I met a little boy through my church, named Ethan. Ethan's parents moved to Las Vegas From Sir Lanka in order to receive more medical care for their son. Ethan has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. With this condition he isn't able to maintain function of his upper and lower limbs. Ethan has never been able sit, walk, crawl, or speak. When I become a Physical Therapist I want to be able to help Ethan and other children like him. I have been working with Ethan for a little over a year and through rehabilitation he is now able so it up by himself for a few minutes at a time. One day I also hope to be able to run a nonprofit organization to be able to help special needs kids get more active and feel like normal kids. I want them to be able to feel like they can participate in any sport that they want to and be apart of multiple teams.
