I will be successful in this position due to my skills, characteristics, and values, like honesty and helping others. Up to this point, I have job shadowed at a medical billing company and I like the idea of diagnosing and helping people, but a desk job is not ideal. Also, I took a medical terminology as a class and I discovered that I like how the body works and what it does. These factors have all influenced my career goal.
She expressed the honor and privilege it is to pour into the lives of young ones especially those lost and trouble. LaToya emphasized how sometimes you are not playing the guidance counselor but their mommies, which really highlighted the compassion and genuine caring concern for her students. Which provided me with the reminder that your career pathway should not rely on socioeconomic factors but more of a view of where our heart and intentions lie. Additionally, we discussed her schooling experience while pursuing her master’s degree, she had self-doubt with questioning her abilities just myself, however, what eradicated the negativity is experience gained through interning as well as faith. We closed with words of empowerment and motivation instilled in me to further continued education for master’s degree and licensure just as herself. Overall, this interview was associated with benefits such as clarity, wisdom and purposeful reminders. This entire interview revealed the profound impact being a human service profession has on society and

Our society is in need of more individuals who wish to make a difference in their communities. Therefore, the obtaining of my degree in Mental Health Counseling, is my first step on my path of being able to give back to my community.
I chose a career as a medical assistant because of the rewards I knew I would experience on a daily basis. Seeing a patient smile because I have helped them understand, or just making them feel comfortable with their visit, is just one of the many perks of my job. Upon graduating from an accredited college such as The College of Health Care Professions (CHCP), I now work for one of the most reputable hospitals in my area. Within two short years of committed studies, I obtained my associate of applied science degree, and then went on to obtain my certification as a medical assistant. There is nothing I have found more fulfilling, strong, secure, or rewarding then choosing to become a medical assistant,

This, combined with my drive, infectious optimism and commitment to playing a full role within the school beyond those duties set out, make me a strong candidate for the post.
Being a resident assistant has meant that I have to open my doors and my life, in a vulnerable sense, to support those around me. I take pride in the fact that as an RA, I would leave my door open for anyone to approach me – to tell me about their day, or to discuss their problems. With my door open, I would often hear upbeat stories about my residents’ days. However, residents who popped in did not always bring a positive experience. Stories of death, hardship and sexual assault would walk through my doors. In those moments, I willingly dropped whatever it was that I was doing and listened. I would listen to them, comfort them, and then move forward in the most appropriate manner.

During my senior year of college, I decided to switch career paths and pursue Student Affairs. I can honestly admit, I did not fully understand what that meant at the time but I knew I wanted to help students transition in college. As a first-generation college student, I was significantly influenced by the Student Affairs staff at my undergraduate institution. I had arrived at college lost and struggled both academically and socially through my first year. It was not until a Student Affairs professional nudged me in the right direction, that my college experience began to evolve. In part, it was through their dedication to me that I was able to become who I am today; they challenged me and my beliefs to get me to see a different world, a better

In our effort to address the barriers to healthcare access, our mission is to improve our clients well-being and health outcomes by providing medical, mental, and preventive services for individuals with a history of chronic homelessness. With a collaborative effort aided by the case management and outreach currently offered by the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC), the mobile clinic will provide additional supporting services that will focus on bringing mental health services, healthcare and social services directly to our clients. As we strive to integrate our services by collocating a mobile clinic, we will focus on disease prevention and healthcare promotion through primary care, while employing a biopsychosocial approached with the goal of optimizing wellness within the population we serve. The objectives outline for the medical outreach program will focus on improved quality of care by using every advantage that is presented with a collocated model and the cross discipline solving techniques that will be available with coordinated care. This holistic approach will include a care team that will bring additional resources and will also focus on being the link to additional comprehensive services while monitoring treatment and outcomes. The integration of services can also prove to be cost effective by the flexibility it offers and by consolidating the resources currently available at WLCAC. The program will also be sustainable by using the working relationships it will have with other community health providers and by using the educational services provided by the University of Southern California. Providing medical services that touch upon primary care practice guidelines,...

Throughout my youth and early adulthood, I have held numerous leadership positions in the Boy Scouts of America. It was my time in this organization that fostered my interest in leadership, management, and governance. These formative years gave me the opportunity to practice and develop the leadership skills that I pride myself on today. I have a greater understanding of how to work with others and manage a groups of people and competing groups. My senses of fairness, justice, and equitability were developed during this time and I employ these values in situations to this day. My greatest achievement during my time with the BSA was the completion of my Eagle Project and obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. The effort required to complete such a task was greater than anything I’d attempted thus far and I was rewarded in spades with knowledge and valuable experience. The values instilled in me by the BSA at a young age have been strong motivating factors to study government and public relations. Furthermore, these values are a reflection of my overall character and are part of the foundation of my moral principles and strong work ethic. I plan to fully employ this strong work ethic throughout my research and studies at UC Berkeley, just as I have throughout my academic
