Growing Professional Goals

My short-term career goals are to complete my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, become a Licensed Professional Counselor, and provide trauma counseling in either a private practice or community-based setting. As a graduate student, my primary goal is to learn a wide range of techniques so that I can develop a therapeutic style that is effective, meaningful, and empirically supported. Counseling approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy were all compelling to me when I completed Theories of Counseling as part of my Psychology degree. Elective courses offered through the CMHC program such as Theory and Practice of Reality Therapy and Body/Mind seem fascinating and I would love to learn to incorporate these concepts into my future practice. Additionally, counseling techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are areas I plan to learn more about as I progress through my education. Additionally, I am curious about learning to work with a therapy dog to help my future clients feel more comfortable

I am intrested in gaining my Masters (MS) in Psychology to extend my knowledge within this field and make an impact in society. Graduate school will llow me to understand the human mind and how they all function individually. I aim to teach Psychology and become a Academic advisor at a collegiate level. While choosing a path during my undergraduate studies, I knew that anything I decided to do would make a impact in society and that has become my passion. While taking a few Psychology classes during my undergraduate studies, I was very intrigued with my class Social Psychology as it seemed to involve both Sociology being my major and Psychology. I m intrested in helping the community

Recently I read the book Start With Why by Simon Sinek and throughout my reading I had a realization about my professional goals. The book talks about how the most successful people and companies are functioning under the “Golden Circle” mindset, that you start with the “why” rather than the “what”. Essentially the idea is that you should do something because of your values and not just for the outcome (money for example). I’ve reflected frequently about my personal “why” and I’ve come to the conclusion that it is very important in not only my personal life, but in my future professional life as well.

Since I was a high school student I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career that was going to give me the opportunity to help others, because when I was in high school I went to therapy for about a year and this had a tremendous impact on my life. My therapist was a blessing for me, she helped me a lot during my teenager stage, and thanks to her I always knew I wanted to help other the same way she helped me. For my undergrad studies I decided to get my BA in psychology and Sociology; but I always knew that I wanted to work with children. When it was time to apply for graduate school I decided to apply to master program in social work; because I knew social workers also work in the school system. After my first year of graduate school as a social worker student, I came to the conclusion that if I really wanted to work in a school setting, school counselor was the best career choice that was going to give me the opportunity to work with

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.

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.

Today, teachers strive for the creation of positive and influential learning environments for all students. Moreover, they aim at increasing children’s chances of succeeding. They constantly re-evaluate their teaching strategies for educational improvement of students. Teachers create supportive and respectful school environment that makes students strive for more prosperous and eventually rewarding lives. According to Deborah Tannen, the teacher’s encouraging and

My professional goal is to obtain my master degree in Human Resource Management and to land a position as a Human Resource Manager with a prestigious company. My overall job interest in the field of Human Resource Management is the medical environment, a cell phone company, or a manufacturing company. My studies here at Walden University will prepare me for the overall field of Human Resource by allowing me to examine the overall work environment of this particular field. I would also be preparing to make HR decisions and examine the needs of all employees. I am confident that Walden University will prepare me to become a competent Human Resource Manger.

I am a born leader. Even when I am not looking for leadership opportunities they always seem to fall into my lap. My life has been one that is based on service to others, so I regularly volunteer for committees and extend myself to help others. It is important to me to be the best teacher I can, I regularly attend professional development sessions and implement my new learning in the classroom. However, upon starting the Teacher Leadership Master’s program at Lamar University, I was just beginning my career as a teacher leader. I had not had many opportunities to show leadership outside of my grade-level team. During team planning meetings, I normally directed the discussions. My coworkers looked to me for guidance and interpretation of the curriculum. I regularly made suggestions about teaching strategies. Additionally, I was a member of various campus committees including the Campus Performance Objective Committee (CPOC) where worked together with campus administrators and community partners to develop the Campus Improvement Plan. However, I did not view these tasks as leadership opportunities.

Recently in a moment of personal reflection, I thought to myself, I have a strong passion and desire to live a life dedicated to helping other people. Conversely, I always wanted to play a larger role in helping people. I took pride in learning new experiences throughout my employment history. One of my short term professional goals is to become a leader with an executive position at a department in one of the top New York State Hospitals. Through my years as a front line staff member, I understood how it feels to have low employee morale. I understood what it was like to feel that the administration does not understand the everyday stress that their staff face. My experience would only advance my leadership skills. I am open to listen to

Choosing a career in medicine is my first career choice, and in many ways it is the only career choice I want. From professional athletes that we see on television, to the educators that have taught me and many others through the years, they all have committed themselves to extensive study. They have practiced countless of hours to master their individual skill set for their profession. I see myself following in the same footsteps, but as a pediatrician. I want to also master the skills that it takes to be a great doctor. It may not be simple and the outcome may not be near, but with extensive studying and practice I want to achieve and master the set of skills of pediatric diagnosis and eventually improve the medical process. This is my

Because of technology, today the world becomes smaller and there is more opportunity to work with people from different nationalities and backgrounds. Working in such a diverse environment gives an opportunity to expose yourself to new ideas and innovation. It is quite challenging for me to work in the cross-cultural workplace and this is the reason that after graduation, I plan to go back to Bangkok to work with global top multinational companies such as Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Kraft, etc.

As I graduate from high school, and enter into the next stage of my life, I have many aspirations and hopes for the future. This fall, I plan to embark on a new journey and start my undergraduate degree in kinesiology. I am excited to learn about my passions, and in the future I am looking forward to being able to help others and benefit their lives in a positive way. After I have completed my Bachelors of kinesiology, I aim to further my education and receive a masters in physiotherapy. I want to do this because I find this profession fascinating and very rewarding. I have been injured in the past, and those injuries prevented me from dancing, which is what I love doing. When I wasn’t able to dance because of my injury, I was

Growing up, there were several different career paths I wanted to take but was not reachable at the time. Throughout my high school my career goal was to be a civil or mechanical engineer. At the time, it wasn’t clear to me what an engineer’s job function is. My family urged me to pursue that dream just because of the perks that comes with it such as money. Math was never my strong suit, neither was school and to become an engineer, several mathematics courses are required. My first two years as a transfer student in college, I had no idea what my career path should be if engineering doesn’t work out. After taking careful consideration, working in the tech industry was something that needed to be done. A few friends of mine gently pushed me in that direction, but my vision to pursue a career in tech was a bit fuzzy. Eventually I started leaning towards business, but by then it was already too late for me to switch majors. I chose Sociology as my major because I found the courses interesting to learn, and it is something I can apply to business. Earlier this semester, I decided to push towards specific fields such as sales or human resources. Eventually, I do see myself in a leadership position at work such as a management position in my workplace. I do believe I have what it takes to become a manager, but only after being with a company for some time so I can understand the concepts and how to adapt to the given environment.
