My name is Justine Buenaventura and I am a proud student at San Diego State University. I LOVE shoes, hiking, traveling, ice cream and being a part of the community by actively volunteering.

I am graduating in December of this year with a B.S. in Kinesiology Emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy. My ultimate educational goals are to attain my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) and PhD in Biomechanics. I hope to embark on numerous medical missions and create a meaningful difference in the lives of many.
Congratulations on finishing up! Btw, the writing center is a great place to get help on your personal statement/statement of purpose for grad school

Thanks professor! I have actually kept that in mind since before this class started! Definitely need a lot of support in constructing a strong objective for my resume as well as drafting up my personal statement. Thanks for looking out š

Similarly to you, my family instilled the value of traveling into my brain from a very young age and I have been fortunate enough to travel around the world every summer. There were two parts of your post that I really enjoyed. One being when you crashed your car because of overloading yourself with work, a struggle almost any college student can relate to. The lesson you learned from it was very profound and helpful, while it is critical to push yourself, you should be aware of your limits and listen to what your heart wants. Everyone needs a break from the seemingly endless grind of college. I also loved the story about your trip to the Philippines. I really connected with how you went somewhere you have never been, with people you had never met, and completely immersed yourself into the culture there. I plan on going abroad in the spring and I want to do by trip exactly like how you did putting myself out of my comfort zone. Pushing yourself out of that area can give you the most profound and life-changing experiences as you said!
