Am I College Material?

Tyler is in his first year of college at UNH and is studying to be an athletic trainer. "When I was younger I was always playing sports and getting hurt constantly. As cool as my injuries were, I always thought the best part was seeing the before and after pictures showing my return back to good health. I loved learning how all the muscles and joints moved and worked. From then on I knew that I wanted to be a part of this process, and being an athletic trainer would allow me to do that. I worked hard all through junior high and high school to reach my goal, and today I am currently working with our school’s athletic teams; not only helping with their injuries, but making friends along the way."

Tommy is studying to be an engineer. He is taking his classes at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). "I have always loved working with my hands.
