Hey guys, welcome back to According to, I'm Megan and I'm Sierra for this week's episode.

We are going to be talking about how we knew PT was the right career for us and kind of our journey and how we got here.

I don't think we've ever like completely talked it through.

I really thought we did an episode like discussing this more. I feel like I'm probably just thinking of like we have

that one episode where it was like tips for pre-PTs I think. Maybe. But I don't think we even like

then talked about like our full journey if that's what you want to call it or not. So hopefully this can

give you guys like a better picture as well and just be like another resource. And if we're repeating ourselves a little bit, which I'm sure we will, if you literally watch like all of our videos or all of our podcasts, like you've probably heard some of this information before. But I think that we'll hopefully organize it in this episode in a way that's helpful. Yeah, I'm trying to make it very chronological, so it's very step by step. And also, just one thing I want to put out as a little disclaimer is that if you're listening to this as a pre-PT student or you're wanting to look into physical therapy, this is specifically our journey and how we got here. Everyone's is very different, and we decided really early on that we wanted to do PT, so I don't want you to get stressed out and be like, oh my God, I'm like so far behind. Everyone like figures this out at their own time, so don't get too stressed out about that. But before we dive into the rest of this episode, we want to start with our weekly spotlights. So mine is very random,

but I also feel like it's kind of like good to bring out to suit you guys are aware.

But on Friday, before we came back to Des Moines over Labor Day weekend, Megan and I got

tested for coronavirus, not because we had any symptoms or because we were around anyone.

It was purely precautionary. Yeah, like we wouldn't have gotten tested.

Otherwise. You know, how people just like don't get tested sometimes because, like, they're living their life. Um, so it was like literally strictly just to make sure that we were fine to come back. Um, and I liked, like, we had drive from Iowa City to Cedar Rapids, which is about like 30 to 40 minutes of a drive. And we did before morning classes and I was kind of like, I like a good drive in the morning, you know? Nice, wasn't it? So, thinking about driving, I was kind of like I like a good drive in the morning you know nice wasn't it so thinking about driving I was kind of like oh my gosh like I do not want to

but I was just like it was nice and sunny it was vi-y and had some music playing um we did it through

Walgreens and it was actually a very easy process um you do like self-adminered stuff wow I, I can't even speak. Self-administered test there.

But I still think like, I got a good nose swab, so I really made sure, you know, I was up in there.

And I got my results back before we got back to our apartment. So they were negative, by the way.

I got mine back shortly after. And so mine were also negative. And so it just made us feel more

comfortable about

coming back and just trying to do everything we can because iowa city is not doing the best right now

so we were just like let's get tested just to be safe um even though like when we're around people

that were like not living with aka just like me and sierra then we're like always in p p p.e but you know

you can never like be too cautious i feel like my weekly spotlight is i want to try and get better
