For reference the top section is my five year plan for my current life and then the bottom section is the five year plan if the P.T. job became unavailable tomorrow. The second picture is my five year plan if I did not have to worry about money and I wouldn’t be laughed at.
The first plan that I made is the actual five year plan for what I am trying to do right now with my life. It currently consists of continuing my two years here at CSULB while interning at various P.T. internships. Then graduating with my bachelor’s degree and then applying and going to P.T. graduate school and then graduating in three years and being able to get a job right away. This may not come through but this is my five year plan to become a P.T. This plan is the most realistic for me right now and I hope I can make it. Realistically thinking I might no even be able to complete this route but I am gonna hope for the best.

The second plan that I made was the 5-year route for if the occupation of P.T. would disappear tomorrow. The plan consists of me going to West Coast University for two years for the accelerated Nursing Program. Graduating as a nurse and then working at the local hospital in my areas while moving out and living on my own. I think this plan is very realistic and it is honestly my back up plan if I don’t make it into P.T. school. I know that the program is actually really hard but I think it is still worth it and pretty doable if I really want to.

The third plan that I made was if I didn’t have to worry about any financial problems and I didn’t have to worry about people laughing at me. I think that I would really happy if I could breakdance as a profession. I really enjoy it as a hobby and I always feel mesmerized when watching it or any other type of dancing. My five year plan consisted of learning how to dance even better then joining a collegic dance team. I would then continue to learn and join a super competitive team. The next year I would want to learn more about the culture of breakdancing and travel the world. I would then want to come back and start my own dance team. Finally, I would want to spread the knowledge and culture of breaking by becoming a teacher.

I think that this assignment was really satisfying because it really made me think about the the future. It also made me think about the choices I made of being a P.T. instead of a nurse and a break-dancer. To me, becoming a P.T. was the best choice because it was a profession that I would be glad to do while also making a lot of money and having the ability to do so. Becoming a nurse would be #2 because it also practical to become while still being something I would enjoy to do but P.T. is still more preferred. Becoming a break-dancer is super impractical but I would still really enjoy becoming one. This week’s art experience really made me think about what I should do with my life and what I want to do with my life. My strive to become a P.T. has become somewhat revived.
This week’s art experience was kinda hard for me. For the first part I didn’t know we were supposed to go to the CSULB Japanese Garden and I started walking to the art galleries at first until my friends called me. It was a good thing I had my long board so I wasn’t late to class. I had never been to the Japanese Garden so I did not know what to expect. It was really nice and I thought that the landscape was very beautiful. It was kind of refreshing to be here for class. Because this was my first time here, I didn’t really want to sketch but I wanted to just absorb all of the beauty with my eyes instead. I even ended up buying the food and fed the koi fish. I found this experience a little irritating because I am the worse drawer, especially when writing under a short amount of time. I like to take take my time when it comes to doing something especially stuff that I am bad at. I feel like a lot of my sketches were really bad so sorry if you don’t see a lot of them. I also don’t like the fact that you can’t erase when sketching. I consider myself to be a perfectionist so not being able to erase my mistakes was making me go crazy. I feel like this art experience has made a little better at sketching and drawing because we had to the multiple sketches in short amounts of times. I can also say that this art experience has also taught me an important life lesson. Like the mistakes we make during the sketch, we should also just move on and keep going when making a mistake in our own lives and focus more on the important things because life is short.
This week I had a chance to meet and talk with Bernadette Villena. I always aw her around class and I always thought she looked familiar but I could not remember where I saw her before. After talking to her, I found out that I had played tennis with her before. She was the girlfriend of a friend I met in COMM 130. It’s funny how we ended up in the same class a year later. Bernadette was born in October in 1997 so she is a Libra. She also has two pets a parakeet and shih tzu. It’s such a random combination, I love it ahaha. She told me that her favorite colors are blue and purple. I totally agree with blue because it’s also my favorite color but purple is alright I guess. As I mentioned earlier, Bernadette likes to play tennis in her free time. She played it for three years in high school. She currently hasn’t been able to play thought because she is busy with her academics like Anatomy [Gross]. Bernadette is currently trying to enroll in the nursing program here at CSULB and I give her a lot of props because that program is cut throat. I think Bernadette can do it though because she’s tough. She is actually juggling school with a job at Cafe 86. Bernadette was really cool to talk to.
