Starting to work on my essay and I want to talk about the reason I became interested in the field but I worry if it sounds too “selfish” of a reason. Part of why I want to become a physical therapist is to be able to help myself and my family especially since my family will avoid doctors as much as possible due to costs. We’ve been working in the restaurant industry since early teens and my dad has even shattered his wrist before so we have all sorts of aches and pains that I hope I can help with as we get older. I of course also want to help people in general, always liking non invasive treatment options in healthcare and educating people, but would mentioning this motivation seem too selfish or am I just overthinking things.
