It was an honor to speak with Paul of CNN during a protest at USC today. Thanks for the opportunity to express myself. He is a fellow Trojan, Fight on!
The end of PT school is near. Looking back on how much I've learned, it's crazy to think how far I've come. Looking forward to how much more there is to learn, it's crazy to think how far I will go.
I have been inspired by NBA players watching basketball highlights during quarantine and have started watching PT videos and highlights on youtube. Really gets me hyped up. Bob and Brad are the GOATs 🐐 of PT videos. The 2 most famous, Physical Therapists, on the internet. #IYKYK
Really thankful for the Doctors, Nurses, and other healthcare providers working extremely hard to save as many lives as they can during this tough time. Makes me wish I could be out there doing my part to help out. Really miss being able treat patients 😢.
With clinicals cancelled and classes online I have had more time for things other than school. In my extra time I have found joy in reading books for fun again. Chipping away at a list of books I've been hoping to get to since starting PT school.

Pts with Dementia experience cog decline, AD is most common but it may start as MCI. There is no cure for AD at this time, use the 4 pillars to help with treatment design. 13 labs later and now its time to say goodbye, I made it through the semester without forgetting to rhyme.
Headaches, seizures and mental decline, these are some of brain tumor’s classic signs. Astrocytoma, meningioma and metastatic are 3 of its kinds, to identify which you'll need an MRI. Cancer sucks that's something no-one can deny, don't forget sometimes it ok to cry.
