Freshman in high school, unsure
So I’ve done a lot of research about jobs and colleges that offer programs and classes that can help me get into those fields, but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to put this much effort in.
I’ve pretty much decided I want to be a physical therapist, but theres a lot of classes that I’m not sure I can actually pass.
I have an open mind, thanks to anyone who read it and/or replied!
To quote collegevine's website: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-become-a-physical-therapist-steps-to-take-from-high-school/
In college, you can have any major you like and still be on track to become a physical therapist. That said, much like medical school, graduate programs in physical therapy require a number of prerequisite courses. Be sure you take the following to be eligible for advanced study in physical therapy (these vary by school, but these are courses that are generally required):
Anatomy or Anatomy & Physiology 1 with lab
Physiology or Anatomy & Physiology 2 with lab
Biology 1
Biology 2
General Chemistry 1 with lab
General Chemistry 2 with lab
General Physics 1 with lab
General Physics 2 with lab
Psychology
Statistics
If this is something you want to pursue, then please put in the effort! It is much better to work hard in college to have a career YOU love, than to have an easy college experience and have a career you don't like. Putting in effort is never a bad thing! Go after your passions, and if you need help, remember there are always tutors!
If you aren't sure about high school classes, don't worry! Paying attention in class and doing all the work will guarantee you good understanding and then good marks!
