It's been a good year since I knew that I was going to apply to the Athletic Training program today. I opted not to try last year because I felt so behind in everything I had to get done. After a year of getting caught up, and taking all my pre-requisite courses...I turned in my application today this morning. Although I feel like I should feel relieved...I don't. I think it's a little more stressful now.
Up next...hopefully...will be the interview process. A process which takes about 20 minutes, and what will either be the longest 20 minutes of my life...or the shortest, that is what comes next. 20 minutes to essentially "plead" my case and try to convince/show a committee why I should be in the program. It's a little scary. This group of people have so much "power" in their hands. They can make or break my life. Ok...a little dramatic, but c'mon...it's a little true...well a lot true haha.
After that...then it'll be the wait until May 1st to see if I made it. So from now until then I guarantee this will be the most stressed out and nervous I have ever been. I've already been freakin out because my Letter of Application isn't "as good" as others, or shorter than others, and already I've almost had an anxiety attack. The task at hand seems so simple, yet it's so out of my control, that I feel a little out of sorts.
I don't think I've ever wanted something so bad before...something this huge and life changing. I wish that I could get in, my buddies get in, and just go from there and take off. This is definitely the beginning of the rest of my life.
