When I graduated from Ferris State University with my Bachelors degree in Healthcare Systems Administration, I had high hopes that I would be able to find a job in the health field. Everyone had always told me that a healthcare job was a sure thing. They were always hiring. After nearly a year of post-graduation unemployment, I began to understand that I had been a little naive about the job market. It was difficult for new graduates to get employed. I learned a lot while I was studying at Ferris State but none of the skills I learned there could be obviously translated into technical skills in the workforce, unlike engineering or nursing. It took me almost a year to get a job offer as a permanent employee in the health field. It was an entry-level position at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, working in patient services in their radiology department. The position was often monotonous and unchallenging, not taking advantage of any of the skills I had acquired in college. It was frustrating to be burdened by the heavy weight of student loans for what felt like a useless degree in a position that …show more content…
Studying there was fulfilling but it was while I was in Grand Rapids that I began working as an inpatient unit secretary at one of the Spectrum Health hospitals. At the radiology department, I usually worked with healthy outpatients who came in for MRIs for lumbago or headaches. At Spectrum Health, I saw patients with complex medical conditions who were frequently admitted for recurring illnesses. I saw the dependency that care providers had on medical records, especially for patients who were unable to give their own health histories. I saw the struggles of what happened without all those records. In this position, I saw all the complicated and intertwined cogs of healthcare that I had not before. It was then that I realized maybe I’d been a little too quick to give up on the healthcare field as a career
Admittance into the University of Georgia’s Honors Program would push me to continually test my potential in the pursuit of my Pre-Medical studies. I take pride in challenging myself to completely master a field of study that enhance my capabilities, and therefore, prepare myself to strive for my next goal in life. In order to grow into a better and improved self, one would need to test unfamiliar waters and reach new heights. The Honors Program ensures this growth by bringing in unaccustomed, rigorous, and beneficial material one cannot simply find in a traditional setting with their head in a textbook. Students are more able to grasp information through exploration and peer discussion which the Honors Program would provide. I believe that
I would like to thank Salish Kootenai College for giving me the wonderful opportunity of applying for STEM academy. If somebody had told me that I would be applying for college classes as a sophomore, I would not have believed them. My parents have always told me that when an opportunity comes, you should take it, and I do not plan on letting this experience go to waste. Education has been a big part of my life, and this academy can only help me move forward. That being said, here are a few reasons why I should be considered a candidate for the STEM academy. Joining the STEM academy will allow me to further my knowledge and help me to get closer to my goals, my academic career would flourish, and I would be closer to my ambition for my future. I am determined to become the best and most educated version of myself that I can possibly be.
After meeting with my academic advisor, I decided to begin my studies as a general studies major, find a job in veterinary medicine, and then change my major depending on what would be most advantageous for my future. In March of 2015, I obtained a job as a veterinary assistant at Animal Emergency Hospital. With no clinical experience on my resume, I started out cleaning crates and hospital linens. Then I subsequently learned techniques for properly restraining the patients for blood draws, radiographs, and examinations. My learning continued every single day, and every day I left work knowing that I wanted nothing more than to be a veterinarian.

First of all, I want to go to the same school with my brother. Being twins, I feel like a half piece of me is in California and another half in Massachusetts. It is not normal for twins to be separated, they should be together. Phillip and I have been so close growing up. He is my best friend. I miss my brother a lot because he lives 2,987.1 miles away. Thanksgiving Breaks and Christmas Breaks are precious to me because I get to enjoy time with my twin brother. It pains me to wave goodbye to Phillip at the airport because I will not see him for another 2 or so months. I know that my brother feels alone on plane rides and I think I can change that by going to Deerfield with him. In addition, it is also frustrating to my parents because of the long-distance separation. During the parent weekend, my mom took care of me while my dad visited my brother. It would be easier for my parents if we both went to Deerfield. From my brother, I heard a lot about Deerfield’s awesome education environment, athletics and the diverse friends he has made. I believe that I can also excel in Deerfield’s classes, athletics, clubs and be able to contribute greatly to Deerfield community.
First, I would like to thank you for considering me for this position. I think that I would be a great fit for the CIA, and the federal government. There are many reasons why I am interested in a position with the CIA. The first reason for this is that I have always had an extreme sense of pride for my country, from the minute I began thinking about what I wanted to do with my life as a child the first things that always came to my head were positions with the federal government, in organizations like the CIA, and I see this as a wonderful opportunity to achieve a lifelong goal. The second reason is that because I feel that my skill set, and where my knowledge is fits perfectly into a role inside the CIA. I am an Information Sciences student, but my interests are much more
I applied to UNC Asheville specifically because of its’ distinction as the designated state sponsored liberal arts university. In high school, the areas of study were limited and the course curriculums narrow. I expect a very different experience from my college education. The world is changing rapidly and I am not interested in a specializing in a focused course curriculum to fit into a slot that may not be available by the time I enter the job market. Knowing that I am not ready to concentrate my education in a specific direction is one of the main reasons I applied to UNC Asheville. During Governor’s School, I experienced a taste of the diversity offered by an Arts education and loved it. I am hoping to attend UNC Asheville and continue that experience. I am looking for college to challenge me, broaden my knowledge, and develop my ability to think for myself. I am excited about becoming part of an
I had known for years that I wanted to work in the health care field, but I always believed it would be as a doctor. I watched for the first few years of my brother’s life as he struggled with different health challenges such as being born premature, having croup and breathing difficulty, and speech impairment. Watching my brother struggle and then being able to overcome these difficulties, as well as seeing other children around him who were not as fortunate, really pushed me even at a young age to make a difference. My family, both immediate and extended, were very supportive, and I felt a real positive push towards working hard to achieve that goal of working in health care. In high school, I was fortunate enough to do a cooperative placement at the Peterborough Regional Health Center’s Intensive Care Unit. Through observing rounds and being in the medical setting, I truly knew this is where I wanted to
Over the last nine years, I have been in the healthcare profession. When I was younger, I never imagined myself wanting a career when I would manage people, but who does? I always aspired to be a pilot, until reality kicked in. When I was fifteen, I had to volunteer a couple hundreds of hours for the school program in which I attended. I decided to volunteer at a local hospital. Little did I know that volunteering for three years would have led me into wanting a profession in healthcare. After volunteering for three years, I decided to get a job for a local community health center, where I have been employed for the last six years. I have held several different positions in those six years and I have learned a plethora of skills, many involving interpersonal communication.
I have been hoping and planning to earn an M.Sc in Human Resources Management, not just in any school but in a prestigious university as Georgetown University for the past few years since graduating from Covenant University where I studied Sociology at a B.Sc level and I am excited to now be on the verge of making that dream a reality.
Around a year ago, I decided to take some time off of college to build up some money and figure out what I was going to major in. A month after I decided to take a break from school, I acquired a job at a sporting goods store. It was a simple job, but I learned a substantial amount that has helped to sway me into what I want to pursue as a career in the future. This job has taught me that I thoroughly enjoy working with and helping people, and that I am also great at learning and executing tasks at a fast, but efficient, pace. I love working with people and helping them to solve problems that they encounter.
Splashing, spinning, swirling, locked in a vortex. The helmsman could not hold the rudder true. Three vessels underway, but one fell behind. Before we lagged too far, I took control, retraining the steersman with C strokes and J strokes. I knew he could do it!

I found an environment that offers hope not just to its’ patients, but to students, and that is what drew me in. If we want a generation of strong and creative young people, we need to invest in them. Is there still much to learn? Absolutely. And nothing can teach like experience
As a result of the Chinese Civil War, which took place in the Mainland China from 1927 to 1949 between the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and the Chinese Communist Party, the original Republic of China has been split into two separated and independent political entities that practice two different ideologies. The Nationalist forces, led by the nominal leader Chiang Kai-shek, shifted the Nationalist government from Nanking to the Island of Taiwan and reestablished the government of the Republic of China while the Communist controlled by Mao Tse-tung took entire control of the Mainland China and formed the People’s Republic of China. The failure of the Nationalists in 1949 did not occur by chance. In other words, the Xi’an Incident that happened
