My Letter of Introduction

My name is Colton Allan and I graduated from King City High School and am currently attending Missouri Western State University. I decided to attend this college because it has an excellent Pre-Physical Therapy degree and it's close to home. I chose Physical Therapy because when someone has an injury of any kind, I would like to be the one to help them recover. After getting my degree I plan on finding a job hospital close by. The reason why I am only getting the Pre-Physical Therapy degree is because I'm wanting to be a Physical Therapists Assitant for a couple of years just to make sure that this is the job I am wanting to peruse. If I decide that I l like it I will return back to college to further my degree.




A short bio of myself: I was Born and raised in Bonner Springs, Kansas. I lived in Kansas for eleven years until my dad's job had been re-located to St. Joseph, Missouri. Instead of my dad driving two hours to work every morning we decided to move to King City, Missouri where I'm still currently living. We adapted to the new area and I became an active member of school and was involved in sports. As the years went by I became more athletic and started lifting weights constantly to be in the best physical shape I could possibly be for sports. My freshman year of high school they transferred from 8-Man to 11-Man Football which was a big change. The first couple years of football were a little slow but by the time I was a senior our football record was 8-3. I had received many football awards including All State Linebacker and by that time many colleges were interested in me playing for them but I realized that I really was not that interested in playing football especially at the college level.



I started training for a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight. Specialized in boxing and I put in many hours of training during my summer to get ready for my fight and I could not of succeeded it this without the support of my friends and family. My first fight was August 28, 2010 at Chilicothe, Missouri. There were no words to explain how I was feeling right before my fight. As they called my name I walked down the lane to the cage while eleven hundred people surrounded the cage cheering. I walked into the cage hearing the latch lock knowing now that it’s just me and my fighter until one of us get knocked out, passes out or taps out "ding ding ding" the fight begins an forty-five seconds later the fight was over and I had won my first fight by Tap Out.
