My Career Goals In the year 2028, I will be twenty-eight years old having my bachelor's in life science education from Heidelberg University, and possibly a Master’s in a particular science field such as biology or chemistry to make me even more marketable as an educator.

The gender wage gap theory is often dismissed as a result of women’s career preferences, and critics say that women tend to prioritize family over higher-paying positions (Venable 1).

My pediatrician, Dr. Kyle, unfailingly made sure I was comfortable and was capable of helping me calm down when I was worried about getting a shot. She made my yearly check-ups fun and I looked forward to seeing her. She consistently asked me what I wanted

All through my years as a student

For the last 15 years I have had a career in respiratory therapy. In Wichita Falls, Texas there are not many opportunities for a respiratory therapist other than working for the local hospital.
