Kinesiology is a discipline at the University of Minnesota that involves studying physical activity and movement. Kinesiology interests me because it requires physical education, anatomy and physiology, and other related science classes that I enjoy learning about. This major prepares me well for my future career.

I know multiple people who have a career in chiropractic and I have only heard positive things from every single one of them. They are all very passionate about what they do and find continuous joy in their ability to help others. They all really value their relationships with their patients, and encourage me to work hard as a young chiropractor to promote my practice so that I can be successful throughout my career. The only negative (warning) I have been told is that some people don’t believe in chiropractic practices because it does not involve medicine, however I have also heard that chiropractic is becoming more popular and sought out.

This career lines up with my personality and passions because I am a hardworking, outgoing, empathetic, and determined person. I find great value in health, wellness, relationships with others, and leadership. I am excited to be able to use my career for the betterment of my community and to be educated in valuable lifestyle skills. I also love the holistic approach that chiropractic supports.

As a chiropractor I will have to write notes about my patients health and wellness, as well as update medical charts. I will also have to write about my research and new understandings, as chiropractic practice is something that one continuously develops throughout their entire career. Not only will I have to write within the workplace but also to promote my practice, I will have to be skilled at writing emails and making informational posters/pamphlets to encourage people to receive my care.

In order to become a chiropractor I will have to earn my doctorate degree in chiropractic from a school that specializes in chiropractic. My current plan includes fast tracking to Palmer Chiropractic College in Iowa where I will take part in their Bachelor of Science Degree program to simultaneously earn a Bachelor’s degree of Science and a doctorate in chiropractic. Chiropractor’s, on average, can expect to earn around $79,000 per year. However, salaries range anywhere from $43,000 to $103,000 or more. Chiropractic is a very active job that involves standing all day, unless sitting down to take notes.

I hope to be able to teach dance as a side job while in my career because it correlates with health and wellness and is something that I am very passionate about. I love leading and teaching younger dancers and aspire to continue to be a role model even while I am an adult in my career.
