Graduation is in 17 days. That means my journey through high school will be over and I will be off to college. In reality I have a week left of actual school work until i'm done. After four years, I will be done with the best and worst years of my life, but thankful to the health careers academy I kept pushing through and kept trying.
I started in the health careers academy my freshman year and I had Mr. Klien for intro to Health Careers, and continued with it all four years of high school. Something very tragic happened that year when one of my friends was shot in the head, but she survived, she made it through. That was one of the reasons why I continued with the health careers academy. Another reason was of how fascinated I was learning the basics of the body and how everything worked together. Sophomore year came and I took kinesiology and I started learning about the bones, muscles and so on. It was one of my favorite classes that I actually loved to study for and would spend hours reviewing. Nearing the end, I was so excited to have applied and been accepted into level 2. For the last two years I had looked forward to wearing those green scrubs and doing rotations at the hospital. Then next thing you know, I was a junior, finally in those green scrubs going to the hospital and looking at surgeries, patients,

It was doing the extra ten steps to study, volunteer, and work extra hard if you really wanted it. I put in the hours I needed and did extra. I did the work and the studying because I was never content with just average work or scores, much less grades. Not only have I done everything that was required I also grew from all the experiences that the health careers academy gave me. I learned professionalism my freshman year with HOSA, practiced honesty and integrity complying to all the rules with the academy as well as the rules with medical care that include
Since a young age, I always felt inclined towards pursuing a career in the health care field; daydreaming about myself working at a clinic or hospital and making a positive impact on someone’s life. When I started college, I decided to major in Biology and explored the different career options the health field had to offer me by shadowing dietitians, nurses, physicians, and other healthcare workers to find my ideal job.
Four stressful years, 28 credits, and innumerable hours of no sleep. I will walk across stage and receive my diploma with a grin of accomplishment. I am proud to share that I will be the first high school graduate in my families generation, but I do not want to settle for a high school diploma I want to honor my family and complete
Health Team Relations was the course that helped me begin to consider my career options. I continued to take medical classes throughout high school, however, there were quite a few setbacks. Before the start of my sophomore In my first semester, I took English IV and dedicated all of my extra time to completing my graduation project. The project was a huge part of my grade for English, and if I did not meet the requirements for it, I would not have graduated.
My grandma and her difficulties moved my attraction to health sciences. Once I found my career I was totally engrossed in my studies. I seriously enjoyed the health sciences. It is not always the figures but the learning’s, the experiences that matter. I loved kinesiology; this field of health sciences attached me with the people.
I signed up for classes such as AP Biology, Medical Microbiology, and Physics in order to strengthen the scientific backbone I know I will need for a career in this area. I even joined Health Occupation Students of America, or HOSA, and started looking more into specific areas of study that would give me a good background for the field. My colorguard instructor introduced me to kinesiology, or the study of human movement, and I started applying the knowledge I gained from what I researched to my performance and personal recoveries from injuries I had from dancing. I was really starting to love
Before my experience, however, I’d always known I wanted to work in the medical field. My favorite, and best, courses in school had always been math and
Before I committed over four years of my life to athletic training, I wanted to make that athletic training was the career path for me. To do so I took an anatomy class in the 2014-2015 school year and I am currently taking an athletic training class. Both of these classes have taught me various things
In this assignment, I am tasked with exploring my degree plan and outlining the duties and responsibilities a graduate of my degree plan can expect. This paper will also try to help explain the education required to move forward with this career. I will also be looking into and detailing the specific personality traits one would need in this profession, as well as my own personal career goals. Within the course of this paper I am hoping to gain some more knowledge about my future plans and current strategies.
This day has been in the back of our minds since our first day of kindergarten, all those years ago. This year, amidst bouts of senioritis, today was all we could think about, that final day when it would finally be our turn to graduate.
Regarding my education, I’ve set numerous goals for my last few years of high school, and achieved them successfully. I started taking college dual credit classes, on top of normal high school classes, in my freshman year of high school. By doing this over the course of the years, I’ll be graduating with my associates degree in college, the same time I’ll be graduating from high school this May. All of my hard work for my education has finally paid off, and given me the chance to carry on my educational career at SIU Carbondale, as I stated above. I’m going to continue to strive for excellence, especially in my career field.
It was not until my senior year when I discovered that being in the medical field was still my destiny. This was the year I learned how to effectively communicate, show attentiveness, and have empathy for others. Upon completion of my undergraduate studies, I plan to complete and receive an Emergency Medical Technician
Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.
It is really amazing how one voice-a belief in your ability can change the course of your career and life. Unbeknownst to me, my journey into the healthcare field would begin during my high school (secondary school) years. I’m not exactly sure what my Biology teacher saw in me that suggested that I would be a good fit for a career in healthcare. Sometimes in life, you don’t get to choose your career.
I began high school in 2003. Like every other student I aimed for the so called high and prominent careers and my first choice was Medicine while my second choice was nursing. This led me to volunteer in a hospital immediately after High school but after the results were out I did not qualify for the Medicine program as a government sponsored student instead, I was selected for the General Science program. I did not know what the program entailed when I enrolled in the university but I embraced it positively and settled on making it work for me. I did my research on people who had previously gone through the same program and were successful and from the findings I chose those who were accessible and made them my mentors. Through interacting with them I gained knowledge from their experiences and I came to learn of a different perspective of medicine that of biomedical research. Today I look at General Science as the best thing destiny brought my way.
I am interested in the medical field because of it competitiveness and its difficulty and the diverse choices of career that it has and the amazing opportunities that it gives to its applicants and the beneficial economic status that it sets for a person. Two subject areas that I believe impacted my career choice is Biology and Physics from those two courses I some what got the idea of going into the medical field . These two courses helped me get an idea about the medical field mostly because of the study of the human body and chemicals that can potentially go into medicine and the type of reactions that it would have on the human body. From that point on I knew that all this medical stuff had caught my attention and was something I wanted to try and make a life out of
