The second week of my internship has been just as fulfilling as the first. This week I met some new people in both the Better Breathers Club and the Wellness Lab. I have already begun to make connections with these people and continue to build relationships with all of the clients. I have loved meeting these people and getting to know their stories!
This week I am doing a little more paperwork than the previous week in the Wellness Lab. I’ve learned how to get clients set up on the machines and track their work. This allows me to set up workouts to specifically target the clients’ needs. Of course I have to clear the workouts with the GA’s before presenting it to the client, but for the most part I have a lot of freedom.
In the Better Breathers Club, I’m learning how to manually take blood pressure. It is going to take a little bit of practice for me to master it but I’m glad I’m learning how. This club also has some of the same machines as the Wellness Lab so I was able to easily help people get those set up.
The A&P class I’ve been taking has been pretty difficult, but good to be a part of. On my last test, I had to know all the muscles and all the parts of the eyes, ears, and brain. This section is going to be very helpful to me in the future. Not only does it help me get a feel for a college class, but if I’m going to be a physical therapist I’m going to need to know all the muscles.
A little outside of work, my host family was out of town for the weekend so Taylor and I were on our own. We went to a movie and then we participated in the Fourth of July festivities! We spent the morning at the parade in Stephenville and then spent the evening in Granbury watching bull riding and the firework show. I am really enjoying my time down here and don’t want it to end.
