Summary

Contents
I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a long time. I thought I could
be a veterinarian. But when my donkey got hurt and I couldn’t help
care for him I realized that wouldn’t work out. Though I knew what I
didn't want to do, I still didn't know what it was I did want to do. Then
I thought, "Hey I'm young. I'll figure it out eventually.” a few years
later I was diagnosed with early scoliosis. I was told I would have to
go to the chiropractor. My mom used to go to the chiropractor and
I would begin crying because I thought he was hurting her. I was
pretty scared to say the least. But one of my friends had severe
scoliosis and I didn't want to end up like that. So I went to the
chiropractor. Much to my surprise it didn't hurt. In fact, I felt really
good. My scoliosis eventually went away and my posture greatly
improved. I realized how much I was helped and knew that being a
chiropractor was what I wanted to do.

Summary
Table of
Contents
Though in 2008 there were 49,100 employed
chiropractors there are so supposed to be 20% more
by 2018. This growth in the number of chiropractors is
more than the average occupation. Chiropractors
who enter a multi- discipline practice have even
better job prospects. The amount of work
chiropractors will have is related to the customer's
ability to pay. In recent years more health insurance
companies include chiropractic visits under their
policy. educating the community about the benefits
of going to the chiropractor will help in busting the
number of new patients.

My goal is to graduate Carlisle County
High School with a 4.0. Then I plan to go to
a four-year college where I plan receive a
Bachelors of science degree. Then I plan
to go to Palmer Chiropractic College in
Iowa. After receiving my degree, I will
come back to Kentucky to start my
practice in the area. I know I
can do all this because I have
and will continue to give 110%
effort in everything I do.
