My First Trimester in Physiotherapy: A New Adventure

Choosing My Path

I wasn't sure how I ended up here. Before applying to university, I had to choose my preferred degrees, but I was lost. I considered three options: studying abroad with a basketball scholarship, pursuing a double degree in sports science, or studying physiotherapy. One day, I put physiotherapy as my first choice, and suddenly, I was about to start university.

A New Beginning

These first few months have been a completely new adventure. I remember the first day vividly—a silent room filled with nervous faces. Fortunately, we're a small group and quickly got to know each other. However, I've also realized that everyone is different, and there will always be people with whom you don't see eye to eye. This is perfectly normal; you can't be friends with everyone.

Finding My Passion

Regarding my studies, I'm very happy. I think I've found the right degree for me. Sometimes I get anxious and don't want to study, which makes me question my choice. But then I realize it's normal to want a break from studying. Many people say the first year is the hardest because it's theory-heavy and you lack practical experience.

Looking Forward

Overall, this first trimester has been positive. I've made good friends, gained new knowledge, and most importantly, I'm excited to continue learning and growing as a physiotherapist. I encourage everyone to pursue their goals and passions, regardless of what others say. The most important thing is to feel fulfilled and achieve what you set out to do.
