introduction

Hi, my name is Philip Sorrells. I was born in Amarillo, Texas and went to Amarillo High School, where i played various sports, football being the most prominent. I originally decided to come to WT for the highest football scholarship of that freshman class, but ended up hating the program and dissolved myself from it. I am now a cheerleader for WT, ironically enough. I thoroughly enjoy cheer leading due to that fact that it is ever changing and ever building, so many things to master that just collide and use each other as building blocks for the next thing. I've always wanted and craved things that are ever changing, because it helps to keep my interest in the subject, much like my love for the medical field and medical technologies. I was first introduced to the medical field through my mother, who is a pharmacist at the Veteran's Hospital in Amarillo, as well as my uncle, who is an orthopedic surgeon in Abilene, TX. I myself, following in the footsteps of my uncle would like to one day become an orthopedist myself and in turn have committed myself to majoring in Pre-Medicine and minoring in   biology. Another thing that has become a large part of who I am, would be the Kappa Alpha Order, a fraternity on campus. After my falling out of football, many of my friends, coaches and family were severely disappointed in my choice. KA helped me find a home of brothers that accept me for who I am and not what I've accomplished.

  1. I'm glad that you found something that you enjoy and a supportive group of friends--that's really important. Sounds like something in the medical field might be a good choice for your paper topic?
