Hi everyone, my name is Katlyn Jones. I am a freshman here at BSC and I plan to major in Health Sciences to led me on the pre-med track toward becoming a Physical Therapist. I am from a small town called Pembroke, North Carolina. It is about seven and half hours from here so I am very used to traveling and long drives. I plan to stay on the pre-med track toward the pre-physical therapy program and eventually get my doctorate degree. From this class, I want to learn about how these diseases are getting spread so easily without anyone knowing the cause and once these diseases are spread throughout what preventative measures do they take to help reduce the spread of the disease and kill it completely? 

If I could travel anywhere in the world without time and money being an issue I would go to Athens, Greece. I think it is so beautiful and majestic and me and my sister have always talked about taking a trip there together. There's a few museums I'd like to visit but I would most likely just like to go sightseeing and take artsy pictures while I'm there but honestly if time and money was not an issue I would probably take lots of trips to Florida because my dad stays there and I love to go to Disney, it's one of the most magical places on earth and I spend majority of my summers in Florida anyway so getting to go to Disney a lot would just be a plus.

Hey Katlyn! I think that physical therapy is fascinating, especially as an athlete. I have a first-hand experience of what/ how to treat injuries and how it may affect me as an athlete. Having worked with the trainer in high school, it gave me the first-hand experience to see how injuries in general occurred. Even though I am only two hours away in Atlanta, my family travels a lot as well. I actually know where Pembroke, North Carolina is located because some of my family lives in North Carolina. I am used to the long car rides to see family members or even vacation spots. Same as you, I want to learn how diseases spread so quickly going undetected.

Hey Katlyn! I am also wondering the same questions as you, especially about the preventative measures because some countries have areas that can not afford the type of care they need to stop the virus from spreading. It is so crazy that you and your sister want to travel to Athens, Greece because me and my sister have talked about traveling their after I graduate college. I think the scenery and architecture is one of the most beautiful parts about Greece. I am also so jealous that your dad lives near Disney because I love rollercoasters, so being able to go do that a lot is super cool!
