Describe Your Educational Career Aspirations

As a student in the GHS band program, success and putting my best efforts in everything I do is what I strive for everyday. Whether it be in the band hall working on all region audition music, leading my section to excellence, or in the classroom working to understand and attain material, I always put my best foot forward in trying to be the best I can be.

I like to smile at strangers on the street or crack jokes to lighten the mood in an awkward situation, but I realize that sometimes people need more than that to make it through the day. This is why I want to pursue a career in psychological counseling. When I started interacting with a local psychological service, I knew I had picked the correct career path. I took an advanced placement course in psychology along with a suicide prevention workshop creating further interest in the topic. Additionally, I secured a full-time temporary job at the VA Medical Center, a primary mental health facility, which allowed me to become more experienced with people in need of psychological assistance. I plan to fulfill Master's and Doctorate level degrees in both Psychology (College of Arts and Sciences) and in Counseling (College of Education) at the University of

I was not exposed to the field of psychology until my first year at university. At this time, the field of psychology was intriguing but very broad as the first year courses offered were introductory. It was not until second year that I began to realize psychology was a great field of interest, and one in which I could picture pursuing. During the third year of my undergraduate degree, I developed primary interests in psychopathology and neuropsychology. The vast field of psychology is daunting; there are endless career opportunities. Moreover, I recently shadowed a clinical psychologist for a day to determine

I am interested in pursuing a Ph.D. program in clinical psychology, specifically the discipline of psychopathology. This field of study is particularly appealing to me due to the profound knowledge it can bring to society. Understanding the causes of mental disorders, such as anxiety disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and many others, is crucial as well as developing treatments to help such individuals cope with their illnesses without the illnesses taking over their lives. I aspire to be a part of this process to help others and to help society progress, as a whole. Professionally, I am striving for a career as a researcher-practitioner. I also plan on going into academia, later on, as a professor of psychology. I feel the latter

My goal is to become a Registered Dietitian and provide healthy eating resources in various community settings. My two special interests in nutrition is nutrition for adolescent athletes to support their growth and development as well as their performance, and nutrition for disease prevention and management for adults. My first degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a Bachlor of Arts in dance. I am also a health screener for Interactive Health. I perform biometric screenings (blood pressure, waist circumference, BMI), then analyze those values and the client’s lab values (glucose, HDL, LDL, trigerlcyerides, and total cholesterol) to give them a snapshot of their health status and areas that could be improved. The field of dietetics will prepare me to fill a significant medical and humanitarian need in Milwaukee. As a returning adult student, I know this is the right career.

My educational and career goals consist of waking up every morning with a smile on my face knowing I am in the position I’ve always desired. I want my career to be something I enjoy doing rather than something I am forced to do because of my financial situation. I want to improve myself through higher education and be able to display my degrees to inspire others to pursue a career. I want to graduate from college with a master’s degree in nursing or social work. Throughout my life, my mother has always been my number one supporter. My mother has always advised me to follow my dreams and not allow anyone to criticize my career. Indeed, I saw my parents struggle and tolerate discrimination to provide for my sister and I for many years. I don’t

As an aspiring doctor and aspiring direct M.D. student, my desire is to learn more about the STEM subjects such as science, medicine, and mathematics. I wanted to be a doctor, to help people heal, help people reach their fullest potential in their health and to save people’s lives. My interests vary from psychology to mathematics to sciences to anatomy and much more. My goal for next year as a junior is to take the course, AP Biology. In senior year, if possible, I would like to take the course Honors Biotechnology Project. This project includes extracting DNA from an organism, then amplifying and sequencing the gene. Also, I hope to take challenging advanced courses such as AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and Honors Anatomy and Phycology. With these big dreams and goals that I hope I can accomplish, I know I will need to work

For the past five years I have been an elementary school teacher, and this experience has helped me to identify where my career goals will lead. My interest in the Doctor of Education Organizational Change and Leadership program is to become a staff educator. I would like to guide teachers how to use data to drive their instruction in the classroom.

Being leader of my DofE group, volunteering as an activity mentor at a summer camp, assisting at an Elderly home via NCS, and particularly, speaking to the homeless when participating in food runs allowed me not only develop better interpersonal and mentoring skills, but also refined my sense of duty to help others, many of which have untapped potential due to situation, viz mental illness or motivational issues. This is my biggest motivator for pursuing a career in Psychology. I aim to do a DClinPsy and expand research into personality, providing the skills and knowledge required for me to effectively assist others in overcoming cognitive issues, similar to how I did at age

My personal goal as many of other students is to complete my BSN and after to advance my education in Leadership and Management. My professional goal is to improve my knowledge and critical thinking as an employee of the health care, and learn more management and leadership skills that I can use in my current position. Christian Camaraderie will help me in archiving my goals with the support provided the Academic personnel and with the support of other students that became brother and sister in Christ. This is one of the areas that makes difference in this school because is based in the faith of our Christ the Lord and emphasis the trust, friendship and love. As online student, I am not able to participate on any extracurricular activities,

As some children grow, they may find themselves in the presence of an educator more than their biological parents. For these students, the relationship they forge with their educators are fundamental and invaluable. It is because of this relationship that students forge with an educator, or lack thereof in some circumstances, that students make the decision to enter the education profession as a “teacher”. The majority of individuals who enter this profession, do so with the mindset of creating bonds with students and preparing them for life. I, myself, wish to enter the education profession. This is due, in part, to some fantastic educators that I have had the privilege of knowing and the absence of a firm familial

My educational and career goals are to major in either psychology or sociology. My plan is to get my master’s degree and begin working as a high school counselor where I will be able to help teenagers who are struggling and help them make the best decisions. I have decided to take this path because there are many students who aren’t aware of the opportunities that they have. Besides checking to see if students are on track for graduation, counselors should let students know about opportunities that will help students in their future like financial aid, exploring college majors, or other helpful resources. Counselors are often only thinking about graduation, but they should motivate those students to think about higher education. In my opinion,

Known for my quirks and determined personality, I am the nineteen year old daughter of Dale Todd, a supervisor at an Interfor division in Baxley, Georgia. I am on the verge of successfully completing my second semester at Georgia Southern University located in Statesboro, Georgia. Although my plans have slightly changed as far as my career goals, I still hope to achieve a professional career. I had originally planned to go to school for Pre-Med, hoping to one day be a dentist, but after shadowing an occupational therapist, I have decided to major in exercise science. After obtaining that degree, I plan to apply to Augusta University in hopes to get accepted into their Masters of Health Science

I am single and do not have any kids. I am going into teaching because I have always had a desire to work with youth. I have six years of experience working with kids in a variety of settings. I worked at a daycare for two years, volunteered at Iowa Western Community College and the Ellis I. Levitt Boys and Girls Club for a year. I now currently a sub for Grand Prairie Independent School District. This year marks my second year as a substitute teacher in the district. The career path of a teacher has crossed my path many times. I decided last year, after subbing for a year that becoming a teacher has always been a part of my destiny. I plan to be the individual leading educational activities in a classroom setting, addressing disciplinary concerns,

It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the length of time that one can live or the material abundance that one can acquire, but in the richness and the wonderfulness of life itself. With the increase of my age, many things in my life have changed. But one thing remains constant, that is, I will consistently insist on doing what I like to do and hope that my endeavors can be valuable to the life of others. I see this as the only way whereby I can realize the value of my life.
