Physical Therapy Blog

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.

About Me

Hello everyone! I am Heidi Moser and I am a freshman here at Hardin Simmons University. I traveled all the way from Las Vegas, Nevada to attend school here in Abilene, Texas. Many of you might be wondering why I chose this small town over Las Vegas. I am here because Coach Bart Craig called me and told me about the amazing opportunities that this town has to offer. I couldn't pass up his this opportunity so I decided to pack my bags and come play golf for him at HSU. I had to leave a lot back home to be able to come here but so far I think that it was worth it. Back home I lived with my parents and my little brother. My brother is 15 years old, and is currently a freshman in high school. Most of my family is from a small town in Nebraska called Grand Island, however i have one pair of grandparents that live in Las Vegas with us. We have two puppy Yorkie Terriers named Bogey and Ace (these are golf terms that are complete opposites just like their personalities). It has b...

Grandma Great

For this activity about personality I decided to analyze my Great Grandmother. I titled this Grandma Great because that is what I and all my cousins have always called her. If I could think of one word that would describe my Grandma it would be nurturing. In the concept nature vs nurture my grandmother is all nurture. When I go visit her and stay at her house the first thing she does for me when I wake up is make me my favorite pancakes, homemade. Her priority is to make everyone happy. My Grandmother is about to celebrate her 95th birthday this November. I have known her for 18 years and her personality has never changed. She has always been the some Grandmother who puts others before herself and who makes everyone happy when she tells her stories from her childhood. I love finding out new things about my Grandma from her old stories that she tells me about out family. Using Eysenck's personality theory I see my Grandmother as...

M6 #3

For this blog I decided to interview two of my family members who suffer from anxiety and depression. At first I was very nervous to ask my family members to help me with this school assignment because it is very hard to word things the right way to people who suffer from these illnesses. However, my family was very accommodating and they were able to answer all of the questions that I had. I have decided not to use names or pictures, but I decided to interview my mom and my uncle. At the end of these interviews I learned a lot and gained a lot of respect for my mom and uncle. I interviewed my mom first. She has clinical anxiety and has been overcoming it for over 20 years. When she experiences a panic attack it mostly happens earn she doesn't have control over a situation. During these attacks she breathes really heavily. Most of the time she is very good at calming herself down, however it is a lot easier for her to do this if people around ...
