Anesthesiologist Career Analysis

My first semester as a college freshman is finally coming to an end. This semester has been the start to a new chapter in my life and I am glad to have finally finished my first semester on a high note. Coming into college I never knew what things would be like and how would I adjust. All I knew is that I wanted to succeed and eventually graduate college. The courses I have taken this semester have had big impact on my learning and my future. Assignments that taught skills and lessons to be used in the future. I have learned skills such as being able to collaborate in groups because of projects in ASU 150.

I attended Braden River High school until I heard about the opportunity to participate in the dual enrollment program at SCF. I have always been motivated in school, but was ready for a new challenge. I started at State College of Florida my senior year of high school as a dual enrollment student. During my first semester, I took thirteen credit hours and earned a 4.0. The second semester I increased to fourteen credits and again earned a 4.0. By May I had earned twenty six college credits and retained a 4.0 Grade point average. I have always had a passion for school, so there was no chance that I wanted to take a summer break. In May, I enrolled as a non-degree seeking student so that I could continue going to State College of Florida until I received my high school transcripts. This summer I have earned another fourteen college credits and so far have maintained my 4.0 grade point average. I plan to attend State College of Florida in the fall and spring to earn my AA degree and then transfer to either University of Florida or Florida Atlantic University. I want to study microbiology and cell

During the beginning of my junior year of high school, I decided that I was prepared for college. I could not wait another year, so I concurrently enrolled at Tulsa Community College to take advantage of the dual credits and get ahead. At the time of my enrollment, I decided to follow my brother’s footsteps and take the pre-med route. I was able to graduate a year early by combining my junior and senior years of high school. I completed almost an entire year of college by the time

What was the most challenging thing about this semester? Did you handle it well or did you let it get to you?

I am a senior at Udall High School. I am involved in many activities including: Volleyball, Softball, Student Council, Yearbook, FBLA, and Forensics. I am the youngest of six siblings in which three others also graduated from Udall. I will attend a four or two year college my first years, and then to attend Oklahoma University where I will begin medical school.

Anesthesiologist are medical doctors that use special drugs and gases called anesthetics, to keep patients pain free during surgery (Career Cruising). You may ask why people would want to do this job. Some anesthesiologist enjoy listening and talking to patients and love to be able to take care of people and help them get better. Becoming an anesthesiologist contains a strong education and being super experienced and this is what makes it such an important job.

I learned from my various courses that you cannot get discouraged when you know that you have a lot on your plate those are the times to rise above and to focus. Making sure everything was completed in a timely manner and to an above average standard was very important especially in my college courses. When you do not put the amount of effort needed it shows in the final product, I always want my product to look like I did my best no matter what it might be. Coming in from middle school it was easy to skate by and do everything at the last minute and still get perfect scores but now that I am being academically challenged those methods no longer work. I am very grateful for being able to have the opportunity to attend the STEM Early College at NC A&T because it is preparing me for my future

I began my freshman year in August of 2013. I was nervous, not knowing what to expect. I was a very quiet and shy kid for as long as I can remember up until around my sophomore year. We were expected to select our classes for the upcoming year after being given a graduation requirement checklist and a link to the website that gave a paragraph describing each class. It was an overwhelming experience at the time and I ended up choosing Naval Science 1 (NJROTC) by mistake. The first day of school, merely barely having walked into the classroom I could tell that it was unlike any other class I had ever had. I was scared and told myself I would switch out. Every single day for probably four days I came home telling myself I would switch out of the

The end of my Sophomore year was the worst time of my entire life and the main cause of my beliefs and ideas of myself. Depression hit me hard and fast like being in the two minute and twelve-second knockout boxing match with Muhammad Ali, but gratefully received help from my family, school, and a special someone. It played a massive role in my effectiveness in school work and social life, but that became the start of what I would call a blessing. Motivation and ambition came quickly after the second semester after months of pressure and love from others who I am proud to call family and friends.

Have you ever seen a film that was placed in a hospital? If so then you’ve probably seen a person who is telling the patient to count back from 10 or so. That person is known as an anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists have a very important and often overlooked job. While they may seem to be a background character they are very important when it comes to the well-being of a patient who is going into surgery. However, with such an important job comes important responsibilities. To get prepared for these a person who is working to become an anesthesiologist must complete at least twelve years of education.

This year as a freshman the things I was successful was joining a club, and making myself better at language arts. Joining a club made me better with social skills, which I didn’t have and now I do. Also, Improving myself with Language arts made me feel like I accomplished something, because that was something I really struggled with. Even though I didn't have the best grades; I really learned a lot in that class.

If I would’ve had the same mindset that I have now at the beginning of the semester I probably wouldn’t be writing this (LOL). Finals wouldn’t be so stressful and being able to enjoy the first half of my senior year would’ve been great. But now i’m playing catch up with my grades by hope and prayer on my finals. I thank God that i’m seeing how ridiculous this is now than later. Next semester will totally be more focused on grades and enjoying my last year of high school.

When I first began attending Porterville community college my goal was to finish within 2 years and transfer to a CSU. But among the way i encountered some obstacles that unfortunately delayed my progress I had to retake three classes twice because of the grades i received in my first attempt i knew i was able to perform at a higher level than what I was doing so I took these classes again and I did much better then the first times along with my appeal I am including my unofficial transcript so that the grades I received in the first try can be compared to the second attempt and the grade differences are much higher than the first ones. I also encountered some personal issues along the way that did not permit me to continue and unfortunately i had to take two semesters off from school due to an illness of a family member so this also delayed my process a little more and it pushed me behind from my original goal.

circumstances but over the past two years, I have become motivated to rise above my hardships. My inspiration was learning about the Clarkson School and my new goal was to become a better student. That being said, I continued to struggle due to a home life that,at times, affected my ability to maintain my focus and motivation. I registered for advanced placement classes and began to work harder in school. I was one of ten students taking AP Biology, a class that was being offered for the first time in our school. The class was poorly structured, resulting in students struggling and abandoning the class. But not me; I endured to the end with just one other student.

My favorite time of the year was coming to an end, as I had to say goodbye to those worry-free, beach-bum summer days. Summer had passed before my eyes and it was now the start of my sophomore year in college. I was enrolled in a couple psychology classes for my major and a Geology class that would count towards my GE. The semester before was not the best, as it had a negative impact on my grade point average. So here I am again, another semester hoping the same thing does not happen again.
