How I Changed My Career

My alternate career path is nursing. I think this would be a good career for me because in nursing you have to work with people and you help them, and I like to help people anyway I can. I didn’t pick nursing as my major because to be a nurse you have to go to school for four years and I didn’t want to do that, so I decided to do a degree that is only two years.

The only improvement I could think of would be if I could have shadowed a single engineer for a period of time to see exactly what his job consisted of. I was almost always busy with a project so I was not able to continually watch what they were working on. I understand that while I am there to learn, they also expect me to contribute to the overall goals of the company.

Like most eighteen year olds entering college, my plans for the future were not well constructed. I was very successful in high school and loved all of my subjects, so I had difficultly deciding which area of study I wanted to direct my focus. Oddly, I chose biology, the subject that I found most challenging. Despite the intricate and confusing concepts, biology fascinated me. It seemed like the obvious choice even though I wasn't entirely sure what career I wanted to pursue post-baccalaureate.

The activity that has help me grow most throughout my high school career is working for my dad at his oral surgery practice, Albright, Smith, & Peck. I started working there in June of 2015 and worked until August of 2015. Right away I began to learn what life was like outside of my small world. I had always been secluded in my life whether I was at school or at home. I never really got to see what Memphis was like outside of that. I started off just watching to see what happened in the office during week my first week and a half there. Starting the Thursday of my second week, I began to get more involved with the patients and actually get to talk to them. One of my main jobs in first few weeks was to help take the patients who had just woken up from anesthesia

What do you want to be when you grow up? This question is asked throughout one’s lifetime with the typical answers being doctor, police man, and teacher. My ambitious third grade self was anything but typical. I wanted to be a stay at home mom or a prison warden. Overtime my goals changed and mostly unsure of what career to pursue. Even after graduation, majoring in Sports and Recreation Management, I had mixed feelings about what my next step would be. I knew that I needed a job and had to start somewhere. My job hunt began, applying for jobs all over the country in the recreation field. While mostly applying for civilian recreation jobs on military bases, I came across a Recreation Specialist position at a prison. Five months later and forgetting about applying for the position, human resources called to set up an interview. After a lengthy process, I moved from Michigan to California on my own to work at a high security, federal, men’s penitentiary. I knew that no matter what I could do anything for a year and wanted to make the most out of this

I want a career that allows me to continually improve my abilities serving and working in an area where I can perform to the best of my ability and when successful, accomplish self-satisfaction in a job I have always wanted. I also wish to play my part helping the community where I may be usefully deployed. I am eager and willing to learn and have every intention to do the best I can and be successful. I have found I can accept information from my superiors and impart this to members of the public in a sensible and helpful way.

In my academic future, I would like to study the career path and field of Genetics/Genomics.

The opportunity to thrive in a field that will not only occupy and fascinate me, but consequently also provide the opportunity to make a difference in the world is an aspiration of mine. Moreover, ascertaining new facts about genomes that could lead to genetic diseases being discovered earlier and furthermore the opportunity to share my findings with the world is my ambition. In addition, I want to discover various specifics about our genetic code that will hopefully inspire future generations to consider pursuing a career in the field of

College graduates with a bachelor's degree earn an average income of 66 percent more than those with only a high school education. College is an important feat that guides one to a successful career path. A college education is not something that is accomplished easily, however through dedication and hard work it can be achieved. A college education is something that I have always set my sights on and I will work tirelessly to succeed through college and throughout my life. A college education is important to me because it will help me become vastly more intelligent, and will guide me to a successful career.

Growing up there was a common theme of service among my family members and their chosen professions. Many were Educators, many served in the Military and many were in the Foreign Service. At the most fundamental level there is a very special core quality in people who decide to dedicate their lives to the greater good of humanity whether that is through educating others or serving their country in an official capacity. Witnessing the sacrifices my family members have made throughout the years to fulfill their individual missions has aroused an immense sense of pride in me and has contributed greatly to my own mission of service. From a young age, I have always known that I too, would choose a career path that would allow me to serve others

In my experiences at LVCP I have learned about careers that I may be interested in pursuing. By taking different classes, doing projects, and speaking to my peers I learned about careers I am interested in. Some of my interests as a student include writing, music, public work, history, and helping others for the ‘greater good’. This year I have given a lot more thought to, “after high school” and the careers I would like to study in college. I find this year I am more socially comfortable in school as a sophomore. I have found a great group of friends who push me everyday to be a great student. Last year I learned how to manage the workload of several projects, and assignments. I am still organized, but this year academically is more challenging than any year before.

I first became interested in public health while traveling with a dentist on a mission trip in Guatemala during high school. We did not initially know that our primary role would be assisting with dental clinics in several rural villages, but today I am so thankful for that experience because it allowed me to see how my passion for caring for others could become a lifelong career. When our team arrived in Guatemala, we learned of a need for dental assistants and quickly jumped at the opportunity to serve in this unique way. Over the following two weeks, I had the privilege of assisting with numerous dental surgeries for families who did not typically have access to this level of skilled care. My role on the team involved explaining post-operative instructions and the recommended pain medication regimen, which was quite a challenge because I knew only a few basic Spanish phrases. I was surprised to discover that despite the language barrier, I could communicate with the families fairly easily by acting out the instructions. I also enjoyed forming relationships with the children who were waiting for family members by playing simple games. It is true that smiles and laughter are universal. When I returned to the United States, my family and friends repeatedly commented on how much I seemed to love my experience with the dental clinics in Guatemala. I began to see that the joy that I had from serving other people could become a meaningful and fulfilling career.
