It was a new and different experience for me to read through his answers for very important life questions. In the interview, Scherer discussed what a typical day was like and how it was hard to be away from his family so often because he worked in the army. He also talked about the different injuries and recoveries he has witnessed. Overall, this was a wonderful resourse to use.

Most of these words I had never even heard of before I came across this site. I copied the words and defined them on a word document which is shown in our "Research Information" tab.

It did not show too much or too little information about the subject--just enough to show what physical therapy really is. Overall, this was a great first-time website to look at.
