Career Goal: Health Studies 131, Kinesiology 275 (Fcs/342)

There was no specific answer from her what I should take, because there really is not much at a high school level that can prepare me for my major. At that point, I was more questioning the high school, and why I needed certain classes that I did not need for this type of field. I began to find some things that may be close to helping me in college with my major such as Project Lead the way classes, they had a kinesiology class my junior year, and medical terminology. I began to be in Project Lead the Way classes, because those were the classes that were not in the medical charter school that I was able to learn about different medical professions, learn basic anatomy, some diseases, and some basic information about other health professions that I ended up finding helpful in my profession that I wanted to pursue. Kinesiology was a good class in the fact the Kinesiology is the study of the bodies movement, so I thought that would be beneficial. At my hometown state college, athletic trainer is a pre- with a major in Kinesiology, so I figured it was a good base class to start with. Throughout high school I also did not take the full class of medical terminology for college credit, but I took intro to medical terminology. Which was prefixes and suffixes of medical terminology, and I found out this year that I do need to take it for my Athletic Training major, so I am glad that I ended up taking the pre medical terminology, so when I take it, it should be a little bit easier since I already have a background on it already. Thinking back about extra classes that do not obtain to major specifics, not only broadens our minds, but gives us more connections to people and other experiences that can make us even show, support, and care more than what we thought we would have ever cared about towards

Throughout my high school career, I had a great variety of classes ranging from Civil Engineering and Architecture to Anatomy and Physiology. I was, and still am, interested in just about everything. At the University of North Dakota, I chose to pursue an Interdisciplinary Studies Degree with an emphasis in Health Science and a Minor in Biology. This allowed me to tailor my schedule to include courses I needed as well as courses I was interested in. As evident in my transcripts, I took a little bit of everything and I loved every moment of it. Although I wasn’t yet focusing on a certain career path, I was certain that I wanted to ultimately pursue a career in the medical field. Specifically, I have recently found that chiropractic will allow me to enrich the lives of others while exhibiting lifelong learning

The start of my exercise science journey began when I was a little kid. I played sports throughout my childhood and into my senior year of high school but my desire to really exercise started when I went to gym class. I thought our Gym teacher, Mrs. Starnes was the coolest lady and I enjoyed how she could talk about our bodies and knew different activities that got everyone to exercise. Also, I loved watching college football and baseball as a child and remember seeing that when the athletes would get hurt; that they would get help from one or two people who would try to find out the problem and what happened. When I was little, I did not know that the job that I saw on television would be one that I would be aiming towards as I got older.

I am in the middle for occupational wellness because I am barely in the process to start college and I still don’t know what I would want to major on. I have an idea for either nursing or business but I would like to take a class on both to see which is the one I would want to do for the rest of my life. As of now I have two jobs and on one I have more responsibilities so it makes me have an idea of how later on life it will be with my career.

In High School there are some specific classes I need to take. When I looked on CFNC.org I noticed that most of the classes it recommended me to take were related to mathematics, science, and career specific classes. In order to be a sports medicine physician you need to be good at math and science. My suggested plan said to take Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry 1, Biology, Physical Science, and other classes.

During the five years at Trinity, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience to succeed. My passion has always been Science; I have been interested and curious about the anatomy of the human body. The classes that motivated me to pursue a career in health are Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Surgical and Mental Health Clinical, Religion of the World, and Health and Wellness Programming.

I took Medical Terminology and a beginner’s class of Health Occupations; along with all my other high school classes, including: College Algebra, Anatomy & Psychology, Government, English 12, and New Testament Bible. This past January, I sent out an application for the Licensed Practical Nursing program, and was selected. During my second semester of Senior year, I took Psychology and Nutrition. After graduating from Peoria Christian School with a 3.5/4.0 GPA, as a National Honor Society member, I dove back into studies. This summer I am taking Biology 140 as well as Health Occupations. By this fall I will be starting my Clinical, these will go through till next summer. By this fall, I hope to have my certification as a LPN, and working in hospital with families like my own and with the struggles no family should have to bear with a loved

My educational goals are attending a four year university getting a bachelors degree in science with a minor in chemistry. Throughout my time in university I would also like to become a certified Phlebotomist and EKG technician. With obtaining my bachelors in science and minor in chemistry this will be a step towards my final education goal in applying to a master program to become a Physician Assistant. Being able to understand and know health scientific problems has been a lifelong goal of mines helping people to know more about what they can do to prevent or become better has always been my

Both courses introduced me the some of the basic skills and terms that I will need to competently accomplish my duties as a Radiology Technician. Secondly, Medical Terminology has provided me with a basic understanding of all the organ systems in the human body and I believe it has aided in my success in Anatomy and Physiology I. As for Basic Health Profession Skills this course alone can be considered valuable to most wanting to enter into a health profession. It is my opinion that this course has single handedly prepared me for just some of the sights, sounds, and smells that I will encounter in a medical facility. Moreover, this course has effectively informed me of the proper ways to interact with patients and their families as well as doctors and other staff members. For me this is an exceptionally important lesson to learn since it does not matter how competently you perform your duties as a health care provider, if you are unable to respect those around

Biomed Academy at my high school will be the most contributing factor to attain my goal. This academy has changed my perspective about medicine career. I have gained tons of knowledge from BioMed academy in these high school years. This will help me to attain my goal, because the knowledge gained from this academy will help me to be a successful medical professional. The principle of Health Science, Health Science, CNA, psychology, Biology, and anatomy and physiology are classes that prepared me to be an eligible Pre-Med applicant. I have learned from the basic structures of the body to the complex structure of the body, and from classroom to hands-on experience at the rehabilitation center. These years in BioMed Academy will help me to attain

For my Health Science Exploration interview, I interviewed my mother, she is a Surgery Schedule. She went to Bryant and Stratton College for Applied Science in Medical Assisting. During this time she got her Associate's degree which took 2 years to complete with medical experience. Which means she worked in Doctors Offices, Patient First, and Hospitals to get her current job. Some of the classes she took were Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Medical Ethics. She told me that her favorite class was Anatomy and Physiology because she liked learning how the body works, why it works, and what each part of the body does.

In the wake of assessing the course in my degree plan, I realized that there are a variety of courses that will bolster me towards my degree goal. After assessing the course, 5 specifically got my attention and now I am more eager to learn more about these topics. I feel the courses below will contribute significantly in my Career. In total there are 180 credit needs for my degree in health science.

What are your plans for after high school? How can this class help in your future plans?

Studying As levels and BTEC level 3 has definitely helped me gain a deep understanding of the mental , physical and the theories behind sports and science. This helped expand my vision into the career choices I can pursue within the region of my interest. Since the age of 11 I started watching documentaries on how the body physically and mentally works; from then on my mind became stimulated with ideas and interests of learning and understanding sports and the science behind it. The skills and understanding I gained in my spare time helped in advancing my level of knowledge. Being able to apply my interest into a career is definitely motivating. The anatomy and physiology side

My major is Kinesiology and with my degree I hope to become an athletic director. The main reason why I am taking this course is for my minor where I plan to have a background with Health Service Admission.
