"Utica College is definitely a place for people to flourish and learn more about themselves and who they want to be. It’s a place for people to find what they want to do and have so many opportunities to explore that path."
从她高中一年级开始, 21岁的Maryanne Lazore知道她想成为一名物理治疗师, but her interest in using such treatments to help others has its roots even earlier - when she was just 10 years old.
“I first started to gain interest in the field of physical therapy when I was ten years old. My grandma had to go to physical therapy for her arm and I would go with her every Tuesday and Thursday to her appointments and observe the physical therapists. 这是一切开始的地方. Witnessing her progress was amazing and I thought that it must have been so wonderful to be the one helping her along the way.”
从她高二那年夏天开始, Maryanne volunteered at SUNY Upstate Medical University on their Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation floor. 在那里,她看到了神经科病人, 正的病人, 还有很多人,年龄从小孩到老人不等.
“Watching them grow and get better each day is a feeling that is very hard to describe. I feel a sense of completeness and happiness that is so fulfilling and rewarding that I can’t help but get jittery every time I think about becoming a physical therapist.”
好像她还需要进一步的说服似的, 不久之后, an injury during soccer season her senior year gave Maryanne the ability to experience physical therapy from the patient perspective, 当她需要通过PT来恢复体力时.
“物理治疗领域有很多令人惊奇的事情, but these are just a few reasons that I am interested in physical therapy and what led me to this path.”
在大一春季学期以转校生的身份来到这里, Maryanne had to find her own path among peers who had been at UC since the start of the academic year and already knew their way around campus. Fortunately, the welcoming environment she found at Utica College made that easy.
“It seemed like everyone already had their friends and I worried I might be left behind. 这一开始很吓人, but through the many opportunities Utica College gives everyone to mingle on campus, 随着接受学生人数的增加, I was able to find my place and make some amazing connections with so many different types of people.”
最初,她在离家三小时路程的大学上学, Maryanne says she chose to transfer to Utica College because it had everything she was looking for in her academic journey to a physical therapy career.
“我现在学的是健康研究专业, but I’m on track to pursue graduate studies to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. UC has a great variety of healthcare fields to choose from and I knew I would be surrounded by like-minded individuals because of this. The professors here at Utica College care about their students and the campus feels like a community. 这是我上一所大学所缺乏的, 我很高兴我选择来尤蒂卡体验这一切.”
Another aspect of her college experience is the fact that she is a first-generation student, 玛丽安说的一些事情让她想要更加努力地工作.
“I always keep my end goal of becoming a physical therapist in mind when I’m doing everything, 在整个大学期间,这一直是我学习的主要动力. My passion for what I want to do drives me to put my all into everything and stay motivated. 我想让我的家人为我骄傲. My parents never went to college and I am the oldest of my siblings, so the first to go. It has been stressful navigating everything that comes with college life and not having family to relate with on these things, but UC has helped so much in many ways and they are always pushing me toward success.”
一些额外的帮助和鼓励来自于加入 三重奏学生支援服务.
“It is an awesome way to connect with others who may be a first-generation student as well. Not only does the group directly connect you to other people with similar situations, 还有很多组织, 俱乐部, 事件, 以及更多帮助你在尤蒂卡学院找到自己位置的东西.”
Some of those experiences have included involvement in the Health Studies Student Society where Maryanne says she had the opportunity to learn more about herself and the path for her future, 以及结识新朋友并与他们建立牢固的联系, 不管是同学还是教授.
“这是一个任何健康专业学生都可以加入的组织, and it can definitely add to the experience and opportunity here at Utica College. I was able to listen to presentations about a diverse range of topics within the healthcare field as a member of the organization. 它使每个成员都能了解该地区的许多工作机会, 在当地的社区组织中积累经验, and receive support in their journey by so many people who have a similar path.”
Her involvement in the Society as both a member and as its Vice President have allowed her the opportunity not only to learn more about her career, 也是关于她自己的.
“自从来到尤蒂卡学院,我看到了自己的成长. Utica College is definitely a place for people to flourish and learn more about themselves and who they want to be. It’s a place for people to find what they want to do and have so many opportunities to explore that path. From the amazing programs offered to the opportunities and help given by the staff and professors, 你不会像在大学校那样感到被遗忘. The value of the education we receive here at Utica College is unmatched and is something I hope all people who head off to college have the opportunity to experience.”
