Victoria Boutin: Growing up in a small town, on a lake front property, allowed for many friendships to be built, memories to be made, and a countless amount of outdoor adventures to be explored. I was raised by a loving mom and dad, and an older brother, whom are my world and support me at anything I set my mind to. At an early age, I dedicated most of my life to gymnastics and during my transition into high school, learned that volleyball and lacrosse were also pending passions of mine. Sports were always an outlet for me, but also allowed me to experience many forms of set backs. Injuries or mental setbacks are never enjoyable but they have made me stronger and much more dedicated to the things I hold great passion for. They have allowed me to open my eyes up to a career path I am now very interested in pursuing; athletic training. Here I can give back to people who are in the position I was once in, and grasp on to a part of their journey. Allowing myself to dedicate my time and effort to help them back to where they want to be is a crucial part to not only my job but also their overall health and experience.
