Growing up, I never really knew what I wanted to be. My dreams would change from time to time. One moment I wanted to be a singer and then an actress and then a waitress and the next I wanted to be a personal assistant. I remember for a while that was my dream to be a personal assistant. That desire stemmed from helping out at church and being a Teacher’s Assistant in school. I remember junior year of high school, when it came to the point to think about what career I wanted to pursue. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do. I thought I wanted to be a teacher or a nurse but realized that none of those things really interested me. I knew I wanted to do something with the medical field. And I thought to myself do I want to do something easy? Or do I want to do something that I actually enjoy? I considered becoming a phlebotomy technician or a registered nurse. But it wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I actually knew what I wanted to do. …show more content…
I took Anatomy & Physiology as well as Chemistry. Furthermore, I took Sport’s Medicine my senior year of high school and that’s when I knew what I wanted to do. During Spring semester, a 16-page paper was assigned to us. The topic was to write a rehabilitation plan for an athlete and though I thought that writing the paper was going to be something that I was going to dread, I actually fell in love with the assignment. I enjoyed coming up with an eating plan for my athlete as well as exercises for him to do to get better. I knew that what I wanted to do was major in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Pre- Physical
From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.
When people are younger everyone always ask what do you want to be when you are older? Of course when it is children everyone is filled with wonder about their answer whether it’s a model, astronaut, race car driver, etc. Now that I’m older it’s expected for me to know exactly what to do with my life and how to do it. I realized very soon that I sometimes can be an indecisive person when it comes to life-long decisions. This being a huge decision in one’s life you could only imagine how many times I’ve changed my idea on what to go to school for. Although, changing my mind become a norm, I eventually decided a degree in business/marketing is the right path for me. What are my career and educational goals, what will my job would be like, and
I am interested in a residence life position not for what it shall bring me, but for what I can possibly do to help others. I have seen the Resident Assistants in my hall, Grier, helping the residents and I would love to be able to make a difference in someone’s life as I see them doing everyday. Specifically, I have seen how Kayla Beadles has been able to help others as well as myself by creating a warm environment that has made it extremely easier to assimilate into college life. I hope that by being a Resident Assistant, I can inspire those in my hall the same way that I have been.
After over 15 years of working as a CNA and Caregiver, I decided that I wanted to continue my education in the medical field. In 2013 I took the first step towards gaining a better future with more experience as a medical professional. I enrolled into a Medical Assistant program at IBMC college of Longmont. It has been a long road and I am almost to the finish line having gained essential skills needed to move further into my career. It has been a grueling and eye opening experience for me being an adult learner returning back to school at 33 years of age. I persevered through these pass two years with courage and determination, never letting my short comings get the best of me. As I approach the end of my journey with IBMC I have realized that I have a passion for helping those persons who
The purpose of this paper is to gather all the strategies needed to be the best I can be in the future, as a professional. I will express all of my personal goals that I will strive to achieve during college. This paper will serve as a road map to my career path, and will help me better understand the job market. Currently my major is in the college of Kinesiology. The reason I have chosen kinesiology is because I am fascinated with the human body, and learning how to take care of it while it is in motion. This assignment calls for me to explore my options in this degree field by taking a career and personality assessment. Then, I will decide on a career, and major choice that interests me most. At this moment I will put forth all of my effort to obtain a degree from Sam Houston State University, and move onto becoming what employers are looking for. The research for this assignment will be coming from the Newton Gresham Library, Writing Center, Career Services, Internet, and O’Net
When I was younger I use to pretend to be a doctor or nurse. It was always fun to go around and check to see who had a heart beat, who was bleeding, and who was hurt. I knew that I wanted a career in the medical field, but was unsure if I really wanted to be a doctor or a nurse. I thought the only career was to be a doctor or nurse. Of course, the medical profession is larger than that. It includes office staff, EMT’s, nurses, physician assistants, and several other kinds of physicians. While the opportunities are endless in this career field, I have decided that being a doctor or nurse was not what I really wanted to do. It takes too long; the schooling alone is longer than four years. I was not willing to spend more than four years in school. Instead I decided that I wanted to do something that is in the same field as a doctor or nurse. Yet, something that takes less time in school to get a degree for. In addition, I wanted it to be something that I could do to help doctors, nurses, and patients. That is when I found out that Medical Coding and Billing is what I wanted to do.
My understanding of kinesiology prior to enrolling in the course, is that I knew kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement , and that it involved sports and exercise and physical activity.I 'm interested in kinesiology , because I love anything that has to do with sports, and to get more of a detailed report on how human movement plays such a big role in the sports world.I have played sports for most of my life my interests our football, basketball,baseball.I started football my eighth grade year, and continued to play threw high school, until I tore my meniscus and mcl so I skipped my junior year of football , and came back my senior year had a really great season started at right offensive tackle.Missing my junior year in football really took a toll on me ,I could have gained so much more experience playing if so. I 've played basketball probably since the third grade , and continued to play threw high school even threw my knee injury ,I played travel basketball as well a
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” I am asked that question frequently the older I get. I change my mind quite often, because I do not know what I want to be or what I want to do for the rest of my life. To pick a college is one thing, but to choose a career that will help you survive in this world is a much bigger step. Most of the time when people choose their profession, they end up choosing the job’s salary over the job itself. I do not want to be one of those people because I would rather choose happiness over money. Money might get you a lot of things, but it will not get you everything. I often like to acknowledge the idea nursing to whoever may ask. Obstetric nursing is something that interests me because I am making a positive
I was on a mission everyday trying to decrypt what type of life I should lead, my mind was always adopting new identities but my options were limitless. I knew I was an individual and since we all do not look the same our purposes can not be either. Pursuing a nursing career was not a plan, throughout my developing years I fathomed the thought of being in the medical field because it is science based and it is persistently evolving which would give me constant interest. My strong passion for science granted me the opportunity of being placed in the STEP program (Science Training Education Program) at SUNY Old Westbury.
All I knew was that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. So, I analyzed the experience I had with my mother when she was having her stroke. I remember that she started slurring her words, was having trouble just talking to me, and just not acting like her usual self. I remember how I kept telling her that I was taking her to the hospital and how she kept refusing. I remember wanting to just take her home from the hospital and the rehab facility and take care of her myself. Sadly, my mother wanted to live with my older sister after being discharged from the hospital. At first I decided to pursue nursing and even started out as a nurse aide. I loved being a nurse aide. I loved taking care of patients. I loved my job at that time but I felt like I only accomplished half of what I wanted. The fact that I also had a difficult time dealing with the administrative part with the hospital was still lingering in the back of my mind. It finally dawned on me one day that I my true passion was actually healthcare administration not nursing. The only problem about going back to school is funding. My husband was still in the military and through him I fell in love with the
1. As I grew up, I never really knew what career path I wanted to take. The thought that scared me was that whatever I did decide to choose, it was going to be what I would do for the rest of my life. When my freshman year in college came around, I majored in nursing. However, I never was fully certain that nursing was something that I truly wanted to pursue. I felt like the only reason I chose nursing to begin with was because my mother is a nurse. I thought about it for a while and realized that I shouldn’t choose nursing as my major just because my mother is a nurse, instead, I needed to choose a major because I have a real compassion and desire for it.

In this essay/report I will explain to the best of my abilities, my possible career path. I have wanted to be many things. In grade 1, I wanted to be a superhero, and that hope stayed out for a while. Later on, when I was 10, my brain started getting new ideas, exploring the world around me, thinking of other things aside form cartoons and I thought to myself, how in the world am I going to become a superhero? I started thinking of other jobs like firefighter, police officer, engineer, construction worker etc., etc. But then I decided it was no good. Then one day when I was watching an interview on TV, a firefighter was being interviewed and one of the questions was: How long did it take you to decide what you wanted to be? And he said a long time. Then I wondered how long a long time would be, I wanted to jump into the TV and ask the guy how long a long time was. Hmm, I wondered, how long is a long time and then I answered my question. “It’s going to be a long time ‘till it’s a long time, I’ve got nothing to worry about.” That question just flew off my mind until at the start of grade eight when I encountered this question again, and I answered it. It took a while and some research but I answered it. I want to be a Neurosurgeon when I grow up.
I grew up in a house full of athletes and as my life progressed through high school I became more and more interested in the science behind body movement and how to better myself as an athlete. What further my interest in kinesiology was when my high school got a new course they offered my junior year called IB Sports and Health Sciences. In that class we learned basic information if we did chose to go in a kinesiology or athletic pathway. It was a three semester class so I learned quite a bit about the body and how it functions.
My One Life Lesson in Sports Medicine Class Sports Medicine and I have always had a fine relationship. I love the subject for a variety of reasons: I like to learn about how the body functions and I would always watch medical shows which interested me in science even more. However, in the beginning of the semester I was doing fine and getting all A’s but at the end of semester two, I started slacking off. I took sports medicine class in my senior years in high school. Sports medicine consisted five classes: Physiology, Anatomy, and Health Essential, and Nutrition.
