      As someone who has had to deal with the struggle of poor mental health, I want to provide others with as much mental health care and support as I can in my future profession, or even with classes leading up to my profession. In my future profession I want to be a Physical Therapist. In this line of work people evaluate and record patients' progress. They handle helping injured or ill people, improve movement and manage pain. I have seen many people who are trying to recover from an injury doubt their abilities to improve or people feeling bad for themselves and talking down on themselves saying their worthless, and useless because they cannot provide for themselves in that process of trying to regain ability or just simply trying to get better. When I am in the field I would contribute to this problem by offering positive self-talk sessions or people who feel as if they are struggling with their mental because of their injury I will have classes for people who either need to know that they are not alone or if they just need to vent to someone, and have someone encourage them through the process. Having people who are in your situation that are improving to their original state can be motivation. I want to have an environment where not only is their body getting the treatment it needs, but the person as well is getting the attention they need for their mental health.
