Dear Mr. Rudebusch:

I am writing you regarding the senior project that I have eagerly begun. I have chosen
physical therapy as my topic and have begun and plan to continue shadowing physical
therapists at Big Stone Therapies in Watertown.
I have chosen physical therapy as my topic because I have always seen myself with a career
in the medical field and want to help people physically recover from injuries or other
setbacks in their lives. I am excited to see all of the aspects of the job, not just the
rehabilitation side. Through my shadowing, I hope to see a variety of patients, each with
different injuries or physical challenges, so I can learn how physical therapists handle each
of these circumstances. Even if I decide that physical therapy isn’t right for me, I appreciate
the opportunity to explore it and make an informed decision. Thus far, I have completed 8
hours of shadowing and plan to have 20 hours completed by the end of October.
Throughout this project, I hope to obtain a greater knowledge of the physical therapy
career and decide if this path is right for me. I promise to do my absolute best to exceed any
and all expectations you have for my project.

Sincerely,

Julie Fischer
