Despite her small stature, she is able to adjust and work on relatively large patients with
the use of techniques that give her a biomechanical advantage
I did not know that there were two types of chiropractors; it was surprising to learn about
them and how different and conflicting they are

about both?

CAREER OPTIONS
High school physical education teacher
Teaching students from grades 9-12 how to make physical activity a part of their life by
developing healthy habits. Also, to educate young adults about human health and development.
Skills and abilities: I have gained experience working with high school students through GuelphHumbers placement program. Having had the opportunity to return to my old high school, I was
able to take a leadership role in a classroom environment to promote healthy active living
through sports and team activities.
Paramedic
Working with EMT, emergency care assistants, etc. to provide emergency medical assistance to
patients in response to 911 calls and on the way to hospitals.
Skills and abilities: in the past three years, I have gained communication skills in communicating
with people of varying status appropriately in different situations. For example, I have practiced
communicating with people in an authoritative position (professors, professionals, etc.),
colleagues (classmates, peers), and clients. This would help me conduct myself appropriately as I
work with different people as a paramedic; when Im in a trainee position, peer-to-peer situation,
or when Im seen as a source of help to a person in need of emergency assistance.
Physiotherapist
Taking a holistic approach to improving the quality of life of clients. Physiotherapists help
manage acute and chronic conditions and rehabilitate injuries using therapeutic exercise and
other various modalities. They also work to promote optimal mobility, posture, physical activity,
and overall health.
Skills and abilities: In the past 3 years at Guelph-Humber, I have learned that not everyone
prioritizes physical health as much as I do and that some people are not motivated to change poor
lifestyle habits. Over the course of my time in post-secondary studies, I have learned how to help
motivated people and to set and achieve goals. In this profession, this is important for there are
many people at different stages of preparedness for change and for some people, they may need
to make some big changes in their lives to improve their health. With the skills Ive gained, I feel
more comfortable working with many different kinds of people.

Developer

Taking time off after my undergraduate studies to travel- I may forget
some things I learned in my time off. My grades in my last semester
may not be good enough;
To resolve this, I would organize my time better, discipline myself more
when it comes to studies, and get more assistance when I need it. If I
travel, I will try to at least stay on top of the latest research.
- Not gaining enough experience for graduate studies: I may need to
take extra time after I graduate from the Kin program to get some
more field experience.
To resolve this, Id spend my summer gaining as many volunteer hours as
I can.
