Recreation Therapist

Duties and Responsibilities:
They help patients restore, re mediate, and rehabilitate the patients level of functioning. They promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate activity limitations and restrictions. They help the person be more life like due to an accident or illness or disabling condition. They restore motor, social and cognitive functioning and help develop coping skills.

Salary: $42,000

Education: A high school diploma is required and the student should be emphasized on science, English, and math. They then have to take a 3 year course in order to become a licensed professional. Courses can be taken on the job or an "express" course that last for 1 year. Then they are able to work anywhere on the state.

Do you think you would like to be one?
No I would not like to be one because I think it is boring. I feel like they don't get paid enough even if they are restoring a whole person to almost brand new. I don't think it makes any sense to do that unless you are that kind heart-ed.

Student Success Statement
Cowardice asks the question 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question 'It is politic?'
Vanity asks the question 'Is is popular?'

But, conscience asks the questions, 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor
popular, but one must take it because one's 
conscience tells one that it is right.
-Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.

     This is a great quote by a great man. He is basically saying that you can be cocky,rude, disrespectful, but deep inside you always know that what you do is wrong and bad. Your conscience always wins over, and that is when you realize that all you have done is bad. He is stating that conscience is the only thing that makes us, humans.
