Future Chiropractor in the Making



The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease
-Thomas Edison-


I started my first week of Chiropractic School and I thought I would share my top ten reasons that I want to be a Chiropractor (drum roll please):
  1. I want to live a healthy, natural and well life.
  2. I want my children, and grandchildren....well everyone I know to live a healthy, natural and well life; free of illness, disease and pain.
  3. I would like to change the world (all be it one back at a time.)
  4. I would like to show my children that girls can! (can go to school, can be successful, can...)
  5. I would like to help improve the national health care costs (50 million Americans are without Health Insurance [Robert Wood Johnson Foundation] and in 2002 Americans spent $1.42 trillion on health care!)
  6. I think I look nice in a lab coat.
  7. So I can show cancer who's boss.
  8. So that I can continue to use the skills and knowledge I was taught in X-Ray School.
  9. I would like to use my skills to adjust my animals (they need chiropractic care too!)
  10. It just feels right-isn't that enough?

It's always great hearing about someone going for their dreams and doing what they really want to.

Great goals! Keep up the hard work.

I'm with Kira. You're such a go-getter and I think that's fantastic. You're a good example for all of the little Sheltons!
