"Before working as an athletic trainer, I was an emergency medical technician. This experience exposed me to a lot of severe injuries. I have a strong will and can see the person behind the injury rather than focus on the gruesome state of the body."

No, I have not. And if I do, I hope for it to be a good story to tell.
Rachelle's Feedback
Haha - great mentality to have! I'm sure it would be a memorable story if it ever happened. In the end, I recommend adding a qualifying statement regarding your ability to handle a wide range of injuries (as gruesome as some could be!).
