Wow.. I can’t believe this is my last first journal. Looking back on my time in the AT Program, I am so grateful for what has been instilled in me. I look at some of my peers who have not had the type of training and opportunities that I have had, and I understand all the more how much this program has prepared me not only for my professional life, but also just being a “grown up” in general. We have been responsible for how we dress, duties outside of class, and have been held to a level of professionalism and responsibility that many do not get to experience in their college years. I feel blessed to have a deeper understanding of what it means to be a healthcare provider and that I have been trained to a level that doesn’t just meet the minimum. Despite not wanting to stay in the athletic training field, I know that what I have learned in this program is going to greatly benefit me in my future studies and career based on the standards that I have been expected to uphold here. Going into my last semester, I am going to try to tie up all my loose ends to help transition me into the professional realm. I plan on taking each task by the horns and approaching it with confidence instead of being intimidated or shying around completely a task with autonomy like I have done in the past. I want to take what I have learned about administration and truly put it to the test with the help of my preceptors in hopes of not being surprised by this portion of the field later on.
I feel like this revelation of gratefulness of my preparedness will help me to work harder to gain wisdom in this last semester. I expect that this semester will be much more taxing than last semester due to my increased course load and being in season, so I have a goal of staying as proactive as possible. I want to stay at least three days ahead of my coursework if at all possible, which entails that I must utilize my planner with discipline and be more aware of time management. Lastly, I would like to pass each BOC practice test with at least a yellow or a green in each category so that I enter the BOC test with confidence of my knowledge and abilities. To accomplish this, I will need to stay vigilant with my study booklet and be in constant review during my clinical experience hours.
