Parker recalled running out to the field terrified, unaware of why he couldn\u2019t get up and unable to understand the medical jargon Walker was using to describe Ibarra\u2019s condition.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t do anything,\u201d Parker said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what they were talking about \u2013 what muscles or bones were broken. I had no idea. All I remember was me being able to take off Josue\u2019s helmet and tell him that it\u2019s going to be okay.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Parker described the events of that day as the worst she has experienced on the field, learning about the human body through her training has enabled her to treat and rehabilitate fellow athletes. Furthermore, Parker no longer feels frightened to handle injuries on the field, but rather rests in the confidence of her growing expertise in sports medicine. <\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her sophomore year, Parker injured her knee causing pain in her patellar tendon, which led her to Athletic Trainer Achilles Walker\u2019s training room. After regularly visiting the training room to be taped and stretched, Parker gained an interest in becoming a student athletic trainer.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI really wanted to be part of a sports medicine team,\u201d Parker said.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting junior year, she came to Walker\u2019s training room almost every day after school, helping until eight P.M. to tape ankles and wrists and treat athletes for sprains, concussions, and pulled muscles.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s hectic. You\u2019re going from the football field to waterpolo to volleyball to tennis,\u201d Parker said of their fall routine.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As she hustled from sport to sport and field to gym, Parker built relationships with the fellow athletes she saw and treated every day. An unexpected element of her job description, Parker formed a strong sense of trust, community, and empathy with those around her.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have gotten to know so many amazing people through this, people I didn\u2019t even know existed. I\u2019ve met so many cool athletes&#8230;and genuine people,\u201d Parker said.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walker expressed how fun it\u2019s been for him to see Parker mature and learn from her experience in high school and as his assistant, saying that, \u201cthe girl I knew years ago [and] the girl I know now are two distinct, different people.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s passionate. She\u2019s caring. She loves to help people,\u201d Walker said of Parker. \u201cI want her personality to shine all the time because that\u2019s what helps you [with] any sort of job or any training room.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, working as a student trainer has allowed her to connect with her peers on an ever higher level, whether through taping her friends before lacrosse or watching football games from the sidelines and running onto the field when the team scores a touchdown.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou hear when the coaches are screaming. You know when the play\u2019s going wrong. You can smell the football players and they stink, [and] when they score, you feel the excitement,\u201d Parker said, describing the invigorating experience of watching games alongside the players. \u201cIt\u2019s like a thrill.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But perhaps what taught her how to empathize with other athletes the most came from experiencing an injury herself. Parker faced a defining moment in her career as a student trainer when she injured her shoulder during lacrosse, requiring her to sit out for a few weeks. Being on the receiving end of an injury gave her insight into the mix of emotions other athletes may have felt about their own circumstances. <\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI remembered how it felt to be an athlete and hate not playing,\u201d Parker said. \u201cAll those moments help you help someone else, because that gives you a new and better understanding of the anxiety and the stress and the frustration they\u2019re going through.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the central community aspect of her work, Parker also loves the educational benefits of learning from Walker and is always eager to rattle off the different bones in the human foot or identify symptoms relating to a type of injury. This year, Parker has enrolled in the Sports Medicine class taught by Walker to build upon her real-world experience of treating athletes. <\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While she no longer intends to pursue neuroscience, as she originally sought out to as a junior, Parker continues her work for her love of medicine, the community, and mentorship from Walker.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAchilles is such a great person, and he\u2019s become such a mentor to me,\u201d Parker said. \u201cSomething I definitely appreciate about being a student trainer is that it\u2019s not just a work situation. It\u2019s definitely like a bond, like a friendship.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"projectQuestion\"><strong>Perspective Piece<\/strong><\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_85\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-85\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NishaM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-31-at-3.06.19-PM-300x162.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NishaM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-31-at-3.06.19-PM-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NishaM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-31-at-3.06.19-PM-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NishaM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-31-at-3.06.19-PM-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~NishaM\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-31-at-3.06.19-PM-1140x615.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-85\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here is a screenshot of After Effects, the program I used to create a photo composition that supplemented my perspective audio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For our Digital Media class, we drafted a short perspective, serving as a quick rant on any topic of our choice.

In English, we drafted personal statements, anecdotal essays that covered important aspects and moments in our life, that could also serve as our college application essays. In Film, we produced a two minute script and video, with the intention of gaining a better understanding of not just what we think, but how we think and view the world. Finally, in Digital Media, we produced a short Perspective piece, a quick rant on any topic of our choice. Personal Essay For the personal essay, I chose to feature a student athlete at Mountain View High School and her experience working as a medical assistant to Athletic Trainer Achilles Walker. Interviewing Sonja Parker for the article and photographing her working as an athletic trainer was an exciting and rewarding process for me, as I learned a little beyond my personal understanding of the world. On her first day working as a student athletic trainer, senior Sonja Parker witnessed football player Josue Ibarra break his leg during a game, cutting his season short to just two weeks. Parker recalled running out to the field terrified, unaware of why he couldn\u2019t get up and unable to understand the medical jargon Walker was using to describe Ibarra\u2019s condition. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do anything,\u201d Parker said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what they were talking about \u2013 what muscles or bones were broken.

I chose to discuss the way people perceive change throughout their life and the negative associations with changing or readjusting your identity or goals. I felt that this project helped me answer the central question of &#8220;Who am I?&#8221; as I was able to take time to consider what in life mattered to me and decide how I wanted to express that. After drafting the statement, we performed a voice recording of the piece using the recording studios at Freestyle and ProTools audio and music software. After making small edits to the audio file, such as normalizing the audio and removing low, rumbling frequencies, I brought the audio into After Effects to create the full project. In After Effects, I created a small photo composition to supplement my perspective piece, using key framing techniques to create a &#8220;Ken Burns&#8221; look. Video Essay In our film class, we produced a two-minute video essay on a topic that explored some aspect of our personality, identity, experience, or thought-process. I chose to discuss the balance of chaos and calm in my life. I took a more experimental angle on the project. As such, I chose not to film any people for the project and instead focused more heavily on creating visual metaphor.
