Career Advise?
Hello, my name is Santiago and I'm currently a Junior in HS. These are my grades: Math 2: 85 Sports and Event Marketing: 88 Ap Computer Science: 96 Found Prin USA&NC: Civics Literacy Honors: 81 Biology Honors:79 ESL III Part 2: 91 English II Honors: 75 Spanish III Honors: 95 GPA: 3.156 I would like to know if based on my grades I can have a successful career. I would like to go to college as well to get a degree in physical therapy. And specialize in physical therapy sports. I always tended to not turn in work on time or at all. And things haven't changed for me. I'm about to be 18 next week, I'm 5'8, and 130 pounds. I like going out with my friends because I get to express who I am freely, I enjoy quiet time, and playing sports. I get distracted in class a 4 out of 10, but I believe my downfall is that I don't feel any interest in doing homework assignments or I answer in a one-sentence format. I cannot communicate my ideas efficiently at all, and my vocabulary is very small which makes me feel very insecure as I'm a very social person but I cannot connect anymore, since my first language is Spanish and I've been learning English for two years. That's how long I've been in the States. Growing up I didn't have my mom or my dad overlooking my studies and I never found any interest in doing homework or learning any material. I now live with my dad here in the states and I've been under different circumstances to say some. My dad never stops rambling about me getting my mind and my priorities reset, and he's very worried and he says that is gonna be too late if I keep doing the same thing. And I've shown improvement because I used to do nothing on my own. I'm writing this believing that this is gonna help me improve in some way. Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions.

Is a Fitness Coordinator basically a Physical Therapy equivalent without a Doctorate Degree?
I have been sold on Physical Therapy for a while now, but recently I have begun struggling with the idea of going to Medical School and all of the debt and excessive studying that entails. I took a career quiz and it recommended Fitness Coordinator rather than Physical Therapy. I love studying the human anatomy, working out, and helping others learn about their body, how it functions, and how to strengthen and enhance their performance.
