I aspire to be the best person I can be, someone that I can proud of when I look back and be able to say “I overcame my obstacles”. My ultimate goal isn’t to be wealthy, or famous, or even have a family. It’s to be happy and satisfied with my life. However, I do have practical goals. For example, ever since I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a pediatrician when I grew up. At that time, I called a pediatrician a “baby doctor”, but people knew what I meant and I eventually learned the actual term. Becoming a doctor was an aesthetic dream to me. The thought of working in a pristine-looking and professional doctor’s office and giving kids and young adolescents diagnoses and prescriptions made me excited for the future. Every chance I got, I would play a game on the computer or on a game console related to anything from taking care of babies to role playing as a doctor. Those games made me want to become a pediatrician even more. I told everyone that I wanted to become a pediatrician because I was absolutely so sure that working in the medical field was something I wanted to do and only do. Nothing else appealed to me. However, the dream started to fade as I grew up. I gained new interests and started thinking differently. Now “pediatrician” is just a default answer because I’m not sure of what I want to do. I’ve taken interest in other occupations, such as an ESL teacher overseas, a therapist or psychiatrist, an attorney, and also, a stay-at-home developmental editor. I
I have aspired to be in the medical field for as long as I can remember. At the beginning of every school year the teachers would inquire each student to share what role we wanted to pursue when we grow up, my answer was always the same: a nurse. I am very goal oriented, and I am aware to accomplish anything you must work for it and put in one hundred percent. Mistakes can be critical, but they remain a huge part of the learning experience and advancing. How one handles those mistakes are ultimately what makes or breaks you.
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
Most people ask the question, "Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?" to determine what you see as your future goals. Before, I would answer this question with the most outlandish responses but as time has gone by, I have grown. I have come to the realization of where I truly envision myself. I see myself aspiring to accomplish my career goal of becoming a Nurse Anesthetist. Now, it may seem ridiculous that I have gone from seeing things such as becoming famous, to actually determining a career for myself. However, I had to transition my process of thinking. I had taken the time to really evaluate my life. I looked back at all the courses I had taken over the course of my undergraduate degree and the trials and tribulations from being
As I little girl I have always loved science. I just knew that one day I would do something in the medical field because I love to help people. In high school I have developed a few different goals that I do believe I will achieve. When I was a going into high school I told myself that I will always get good grades, and I have achieved that goal. I have received a GPA of 3.7, which is every scholarly. Because of my GPA I am in the top ten of my class, as a freshman I had no idea I would excel so much!
I have a lot of dreams. Dreams to change the world and do great things. My first dream is to receive my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, followed by working as a nurse for a few years to gain hands-on experience. Second, I intend to further my education by obtaining a Master’s degree and working on improving my skills, knowledge, and understandings of the nursing field. I want to be a nurse anesthetist. They administer anesthesia to patients. When I eventually retire, I intend on giving back to future generations of nurses by becoming a Nursing Instructor, educating them and watching them grow and develop into the best-equipped nurses they can be. As a result of my experiences in life, I am more mature, grounded, and I realize that even when
I used to think the only road to happiness was having a fancy degree from a private school which would lead to a life of luxury and ease. I thought that if I became a doctor, I could be happy because my work could be my family. I never wanted a family when I was younger, so I thought a doctor’s schedule could fill my days. Also, I never thought about the reality of going to school for twelve years and the debt that endeavor would eventually accumulate. Over the course of four years I have spent in high school, my plans have changed into a realistic career
My career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist and specialize in pediatrics. I want to specialize in pediatrics because I have always loved to be around children and be able to help them in whatever they need. Also, pediatrics is important to me because kids are our future and if I can help kids for their future I will be glad to do so. Helping kids become more independent on their activities of daily living makes me happy because I am helping them to become more independent and make them feel like they can accomplish anything. In order to be able to do this I have to get a Master Degree and I plan on getting this degree from Loma Linda University. In five years I see myself working in the Occupational Therapy setting and working with kids. I see myself, making others
In terms of educational goals, I'm shooting high and am hoping to get into a good Ivy League school (such as Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, or Columbia) or at least one of the highly acclaimed medical schools (such as Stanford, John Hopkins University, or the University of California in San Diego). When I finally begin college, I'm planning on going into the Nurse Practitioner or Pediatrician field of medicine. As of my high school years, I'm keeping my grades up and doing well in school; I've been trying to step out of my comfort zone and do more things that will get me out into the "real world" such as volunteering more often and applying for various programs to prepare myself for the future such as this Perry Outreach Program. I'm
Even at a young age, people begin to ask you what you want to be when you grow up. Children’s answers will range anywhere from ballerina, to firefighter, to President of the United States. However, as you get older, the question becomes more serious. As a high schooler, you feel as if you need to know exactly where you will end up thirty years into the future. Since senior year began, I have tried my best to understand my strengths and goals in life so that I can prepare for my future.
Since early childhood, I always believed I would choose a career in the medical field. When I was five years old, I was asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up”? I always responded by saying: “I want to become a dentist”. I began to pursue my lifelong goal of becoming a dentist or doctor after enrolling at the University of Georgia majoring in biology. I interviewed and shadowed many doctors, all of whom specialized in different areas. I learned about the education process of becoming a doctor, daily tasks, their lifestyle, and the hours they worked. However, the more time I spent shadowing and working with people in those fields; the less I believed that a career as a
As seniors in high-school we are always asked about what career we want to pursuit,and where we want to take our lives. I began thinking about what I like and what subjects I was good at. I found out I loved math and science and was good at them too. Then I knew that the health field was really for me. I began searching for ways for me to see if I really liked it, so I applied to go to scrubs health camp at Augsburg college near my house. I really liked it and saw that my love for kids had me leaning to becoming a pediatrician. I had my doubts on that also because of the number of years of schooling, and one day I stumbled upon a pediatric nurse practitioner occupation and began reading about it. I loved it so much that
Growing up as a child, one of my dreams was to become a doctor. I played doctor games, had a medical kit, and took care of my patients (also known as my parents). As I got older, I worked hard in school to stay on track with idea of being a doctor in the back of my mind. I faced many hardships over the years, such as taking several challenging classes or not having the free time like my friends did. When I got older I decided that maybe I didn’t want to be an actual doctor but rather a Dr. of Pharmacy. This career would allow me to continue to help others, but still achieve my childhood dream of becoming a doctor. My perseverance paid
On many occasions my personal goals have come before my professional aspirations. A career in the medical field has always been something I have looked forward to. As a child I wanted and dreamed of being a doctor, however due to the choices I made in life and the priorities that I had not thought of, I have come to realize that my childhood dream may not come true. Yet, I was able to compromise and make short and long term goals that will lead me into a career in the medical field. My long term goal is to enter the medical field world and be a respected contributor to it. I want to be able to help others in the time of need. In
Many people are already thinking about what they want their life to be like in the future. My future begins in college. I’ve been waiting to go to college since middle school. I’m interested in taking anything in the medical field such as nursing, pharmacist, medical technician, etc. I believe this will benefit me, my family, and other people because I want to take care of my family, other patients, and also myself by learning more about health science. To me, successful is happiness, and happiness is not necessarily being wealthy. My happiness is having to help people and also having a family who cares and supports me.
I want many things in life but the thing I want the most is to be a doctor. I want to be useful to this world. I want to make god happy for creating me. I want to be a doctor because there are many people who are in desperate need of medical attention, but either can’t afford it or there is no medical services near. I want to travel to poor countries with poor medical attention and offer free medical services. I also want to major in surgery and therapy because the there are many diseases that require surgery and some people had been through many bad events and need help getting over them. Many people don’t want to go to therapy because they thing that therapy is for crazy people. I want to educate people with low resources on important things that are beneficial to their wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of others. I also want to teach young teens about
