Slacking.

I feel as though I've been slacking when it comes to building my resume for grad school and beyond. Throughout my first two years of college, I maintained a high GPA, yet was not involved in any clubs or programs that would be beneficial to add to my resume. I spent most of my free time working two jobs, and not enough time exploring my major and career options in depth. It is time to change that. This past week, I joined the P.E. Majors Club. This club is designed to get students more involved in the community, make us aware of the opportunities out there, and prepare us for life after undergrad. In the coming week, I am attending the NCAAHPERD Convention in Winston-Salem. At the convention, I am also assisting Dr. John Bennett in a presentation. Both of these things will be great additions to my resume. Also, important people from graduate schools all over the nation will be in attendance, so this will be a great opportunity to network. With these two additions to extracurriculars, as well as the internship I have been involved with all semester, I think I am on my way to developing an impressive resume. Afterall, I am going to need all the help I can get just to get accepted to PT school. PT programs are extremely competitive--as most only accept 20-25 students a year. Any extra line on my resume will give me another boost toward standing out among the hundreds of applications.
