  When I startedcollege, I thought that I wanted to be an athletic trainer. I went through the Sports Medicine program at my high school and loved it. However, I chose Clemson over schools that have accredited AT programs such as South Carolina, Winthrop, and College of Charleston because of Clemson’s atmosphere. I applied and was accepted into the college of HEHD for Health Science. I was originally Pre- Professional Health Studies, but I knew that I did not want to go to medical school, so I switched to the Health Promotion and Education.

  I used mysenior status this semester to register for graduate level classes and begin a graduate degree in Youth Development Leadership. I met the dean of the program, Dr. William Quinn, and he helped me to get the necessary overrides. The program is designed for two years including four summer classes, so I will complete it Fall of 2017. I will be taking the GRE at the end of this spring semester. I will be meeting with the graduate admissions office sometime this week to determine when I need to complete the application process.

  Throughout my timeat college, my career plans have changed like the seasons, but one thing has stayed constant: I want to work with children and help them have a healthy lifestyle. I learned about the YDL masters during my sophomore year and I knew it was something of which I wanted to be a part. Once I started volunteering with ClemsonLIFE, I realized that I have a passion for working with special needs youth as well. So, ideally, I want a career working to promote healthy positive lifestyles in special needs youth.
