“Sport is the force that unites and empowers us to be better, no matter how you look, what you believe or what language you speak.” These words of Olympian Simone Biles illustrate my life-long passion for sports and the science behind it. I had been an athlete all my life and planned on continuing my track and field career at the collegiate level before a critical injury switched my focus from athletics to academics. When I began my studies at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, I knew my future would involve helping athletes grow to their fullest potential in strength, athleticism, and overall health. Having majored in Health Science with a focus in Health and Wellness Promotion and a minor in Nutrition, I would now like to concentrate on Strength and Conditioning.

My mother battled mental illness during her life. Unfortunately she lost her battle in September 2013. Since her surprising death I have soul-searched and researched ways to help others like my mother.That introspection has brought me to your program, Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling.

I’m applying to this program because I want to pursue a career in college student development in a program that gives its students a wide variety of hands on experiences. I’m looking for a program that combines traditional classroom teaching with the opportunity for multiple internships and practicums. Additionally, I have grown to find a home at Appalachian State and I would like to continue my education at this university.

My short-term career goals are to complete nursing school, pass the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX), and become a registered nurse. I start at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing this fall; I am expected to graduate in the spring of 2018. I am interested in becoming a pediatric nurse at first. My long-term career goals would be to specialize in either pediatrics or neonatal nursing.

What are your specific career goals for the future? How does this scholarship fit into your plans to achieve these goals?

My career goal is to become a Recreational Therapist. Recreational therapist typical help those with disabilities, illnesses, or injuries, whether children or adults. Through recreation-based treatment programs they help maintain or improve a patient’s physical, social, and emotional well-being. According to the bereu of labor statistics employment of recreational therapists is projected to grow 13 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast as the average for all occupations.

Throughout my professional career, I have had the privilege of leading, supervising and managing teams on many occasions. In each case, it was incumbent upon me to inspire and empower a group of individuals to work together, and obtain the cooperation of many contributing offices and subject-matter experts to ensure the success of a given project or service initiative. My experience as a liaison professional, coupled with my personal diplomacy skills, enabled me to communicate clearly and effectively, negotiate differences, and achieve consensus on a regular basis.

My career goal is to receive my doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy. I would like to work with geriatric population because they are more vulnerable to disabilities from chronic illness that results in them being put into nursing facilities. I want to specialize my education on physical disabilities. I have experience working with the geriatric patients who are physically disabled and I hope to help them keep their independence. My goal is to help geriatric patients gain valuable skills in order to keep their independence and have the ability to live at home. As an occupational therapist, I will help patients do things they want to do through therapeutic methods of everyday living. I would teach them new ways of doing daily actives after suffering from a disability. For example, a patient who had a stroke, I would reteach this individual how to hold items, how to button shirts, and so on. I would prefer to work at patients’ home or in a clinic setting; however, I am open to working wherever my skills would be needed. Since I want to work in the patients’ home, my main goal is to evaluate and change their home, so it is easier for them to stay independent. I have an interest in working with patients who have developmental delays; however, I need to observe an OT specialized in that field to know for certain if that is something I would like to specialize in.

My long term career goal is to earn my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and become an essential part of a professional team. Whether in a hospital or outpatient surgical center, caring for patients is my priority. I am especially interested in a cardiac unit or an endoscopy lab. After graduation, my objective is to pass the state board exam (NCLEX) and then bridge to Registered Nurse, while working as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Ultimately, my personal career goal is to help elucidate the molecular pathways of neurological disorders, while also being able to apply my knowledge directly to patients. Thus, a course plan within the Molecular Basis of Medicine (MBM) foundational area, combined with a Neuroscience, Behavior, and Cognition application, would be perfectly tailored to my interests. Though I have experience in bench work at the Champagne Lab, and bedside work at NYPH Weill/Cornell and TCC Health Care respectively, I am truly interested in the bench-to-bedside approach taught extensively throughout the MBM program. The Stanford Neurosciences Institute would provide a myriad of exciting opportunities for pursuing further research into the molecular biology and

My short-term career goals including graduating with a sport management degree that will enable me to excel in the next part of my life. I would also like to be excepted into one of the top law schools that offer a sport law program and be an intern at the NCAA after graduation. Ohio University’s sport management program will help me do this by giving me the education and opportunities to achieve these goals. As a freshman, I was able to start a club for women in sport management which created more opportunities for myself. I was able to meet with more faculty who wanted to learn about the club and also meet other females in the sport management program and create a network for ourselves. Through this club, I was selected to be a part of a

My short term career goals include keeping and maintaining good grades, completing my bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, and improving my technical skills. I would like to see myself maintain and raise my GPA. Now that I have one year of college completed, I have a better understanding of how to succeed in class and navigate a collegiate environment. With that said, I plan on graduating with my bachelor’s in mechanical engineering in Spring 2018. In addition to my education, I determined and dedicated to expanding my knowledge and technical skills outside the classroom through research and internships. This past July I started working as an undergraduate laboratory assistant for Dr. Marcelo Dapino, a professor in the mechanical engineering

There will always be something that will get in the way of achieving any kind of goal that you may have. Whether it be an academic goal, a career goal, or a family goal that you want to achieve, you need to be prepared for what may happen.

This may be a long process, but in the end, it will help you tremendously.
