Physical Therapy My Grandmother Told Term Paper

I look forward to working with the faculty at Texas Woman's University and participating in challenging research and clinical work. As a consultant and expert witness, I will be able to apply my "healing power" in whole new ways: not only by offering quality physical therapy but also by offering the psychological and social support that derives from professional expertise.

However, in time my stage fright will give way and I will be able to confidently address large groups with professional aplomb. I look forward to working with the faculty and my fellow PhD candidates at the university and I thank you for your consideration.
