Choosing a Career: Reaching my pursuit of happiness
Finding a career is a long process for some people, but it comes naturally to others. Everyone ponders about what they want to be when you’re in kindergarten, when your imagination is running wild and every possibility is an actuality. As I have matured, I realized what career I choose is something that I love and will enjoy doing for the rest of my life which for me is to be a physical therapist. My career choice didn’t cross my mind until my senior year. Other kids would always talk about becoming a cop, a doctor, and silly things like a billionaire. I was growing and learning to find myself. My interests and hobbies became more prominent and it got me to realize later in my teen years

I’m not limited, I can help elderly people who have problems from aging. Teenage athletes who dedicate themselves to their sport and injured themselves. I want the ability to help people who have been through an accident and help to rehabilitate them. I want them to feel safe with me and give them the attention and therapy they need. I don’t want it to feel like a job, but as a reward or gift I can give to people. I have a system that I want to follow to reach my goal. First, I have to graduate from high school. I want to get my basics done first which should take about two years at Amarillo College. I have a plan A and a plan B. My first choice is to move in with my brother. Buy a house with him, and help pay the rent while I work at the same time. My plan B is to stay with my parents and drive to Dumas or to Amarillo to take my classes. I want to work at the same time so I can have the extra money to pay for my bills. I’m paying for my school myself, but I will very likely get help from my parents and my brother. Once I finish with my basics, I will then transfer to West Texas A&M or to Oklahoma Panhandle State University. As much as I want to graduate and move far away, I know that it’s not very beneficial to me financially. I want to take things slow and get my life together. Being a physical therapist is a very important job. I have to learn how to create or choose different approaches to assist different injuries of different
As a physical therapist, one is able to make a difference in the lives of the patients he or she encounters. Whether they have a minor injury, such as a broken
What do you want to be? A question we are asked from kindergarten on up. For some people, the answer lies with them there whole life until they are able to pursue that dream. Others aren't able to choose what they want to be or do until the day comes to make the decision comes. As for me I made my career chose my sophomore year of high school. Although I didn't choose just one possible candidate I have boiled it down to two careers. The first being a Chiropractor and the second being a Physical Therapist.
Around elementary and middle school, I didn’t know much of what career path I would choose since everyone I knew in my classes had their lives all planned out. I would panic when people asked “what are you going to be after your out of school?” and I didn’t know what to say so I just told them that I would be a correction officer like my dad. In the beginning I forced that thought into my head, but at the same time I knew it wasn’t something I always wanted to be. So my search of my future career was now back into my first priorities.
I will never look at a cubicle office job, a burger-flipping joint, or a salesman’s job and say, “that’s where I want to be in a few years.”. In my lifetime, I have never had an interest in an office job, quite unironically, I’ve always looked to the arts as a potential job source. I love colors, lines, shapes; I find beauty in it all. Art is all around us in this world, and I plan to contribute by becoming an animator. That is my dream job because it’s the ultimate way for me to utilize my creativity. I’ve jumped from multiple dream jobs to the next, at first I considered being a professional “fine arts” artist, working with pencil and any other medium to create classical pieces of work. As times progressed, I’ve slowly realized that the
I was never the kid who already figured out what career I wanted to pursue. In fact, I had no idea of where my life was heading after high school till AP Biology. AP Biology became the pivotal
When I was little I constantly thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up. Like most kids, I thought of the most unrealistic career paths such as: celebrity, singer, or model. However, I did consider some more realistic careers such as: vet, teacher, and interior designer. While I did not ultimately choose any of these options, I am extremely confident in the profession I am working towards. I one day am hoping to be an Occupational Therapist.
Some people grow up knowing exactly what they want to do; I, on the other hand, do not know exactly what career path I am going to take, but I have learned that is okay. I went through most of high school presuming that I had to have my life planned out by my senior year and I recently realized that was an unrealistic expectation to put on myself.
There are lot’s of choices young people have to make in life,but being 13 in all.My choice are usually are who am I going to hang out with this weekend,or what am I going to eat for dinner.However one of the important choice that I have to make is what career do I want.Although have many choices,but I researched the working conditions,training/education,and the salary.I found out that being a physical therapist in the right career choice for me.
Not only do I get to work with people recovering from injuries but I get to work with doctors, medical staff, families, long term care facilities, and many more! I also am not restricted to working with a certain age group of people. I get to work with kids who suffer injuries to elderly patients needing therapy after a stroke and every age in between.
Finding a career may be an imitating approach conversely, it may be the most important factor in the long run. The world offers thousands of various occupations that benefit everyone around them. The occupation I assume would benefit me also others around would be to become a Physical Therapist. Physical Therapists, also abbreviated as PTs, are sharply-intelligent health care providers who educate, rehabilitate, treat, and prevent their patients from pain in the human anatomy (American Physical Therapy Association). Aspiring physical therapists should take into consideration the duties, education, requirements, offering schools, salary, and alternate jobs to ensure their decision in this profession.
Everyone has an idea of what they would like to be when they grow up. Some say they would like to be a Doctor or a Nurse or a Mechanic, there are many types of careers anyone can choose from. I chose to pursue a Language Arts Middle School teaching career. Many people say that a teaching career does not make a lot of money, but money is not the main thing in choosing a career, picking what you like and being what you like is the main goal. I chose to be a teacher because when I was in Middle School I had a Language Arts teacher named Mr. Tomov, I never really liked him as a teacher due to the fact that he never made class interesting. The school year went along and one day he called me to the side and asked me what my purpose was. I asked him
My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families
For the longest time I could not decide on a major and a career to study throughout college. When I came to Georgia Southern University I discovered that they had a major that was very interesting to me. Sport Management id the ideal major for my interest and me. Since I love sports I figured that this would be the career for me. A degree in Sport Management helps to prepare for success in sport related occupations.
My Career Plan The future is uncertain for me, but it is important to develop a career plan that will provide financial support and personal fulfillment over the course of my professional life. To make this transition from school to a professional career, I am going to plan a plan that will help me stay focused and motivated in meeting my goals and objectives. In the next paragraphs, I will explain my ten-year plan for my
Choosing a right career path can be tough. Especially, when the parents are involved. Parents want their children to have a better life in the future so they want their children to be educated. When they are successfully graduate from the college they can get a high paying job and earn much more than their parents. However, does everyone listen and follow their parents’ decisions about the career? What happen if kids didn’t want what their parents told them to do? Is there a compromise and or one side needs to give in? It was a tough decision for me too. There was a lot of pressure on me. I was hesitated and somehow worried when my parents were involved, but I knew what I want for my career.
