I Want To Pursue My Bachelor's Degree In Emergency Management

After the almost fatal accident my grand mom was in, this passion grew stronger of helping others. The fact that firefighters help people when they need help the most makes the job all the more awesome. Joining the fire department gives me the power to help others in extreme circumstances and gives me the potential power to have a positive impact in some one’s life.

This encouraged me to pursue my current job, a patient care technician in the emergency department. When I landed my job in the emergency department I was not too sure what to expect since I always worked in the field as an EMT and a firefighter. Well, turns out I loved it so much that I want to now move on to pursue a career in nursing. I did not realize the love I have for continuing my patient care which is what I like the most about working in the emergency department. Unlike when you work on an ambulance you only care for the patient for a short time and then have to leave what you had started. Working as an EMT in the hospital setting has given me the experience that I will need in order to pursue my goal now to complete nursing

Coming to Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in social work has been one of the best things I have done in the year of 2016. I can remember awaiting my acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University and instantly choosing to attend. For the remainder of my senior year of high school, I couldn’t wait to pack up and leave for VCU. Before I knew it, it was August 20, 2016, move-in day. Aside from leaving my parents and hometown, I was a bit upset about having to quit my job, the anxiety of being a broke college student hit me before I even stepped on campus. On move in day I was a bit anxious and a little nervous to leave my parents but at the same time I was ready to leave and explore something new on my own.

As a young Puerto Rican, I always wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. This is because I have always had a caring heart and I enjoyed to take care of everyone. My educational goal is to get a Doctorate degree in Nursing. Furthermore, to reach that goal I have to start working on my Associate Degree. Therefore, my first educational goal is to begin and complete my associate degree. My career Goal after graduation is working as an RN in the Sarah Todd Nursing Home; the nursing home which I currently work at as a CNA. Being a CNA allows me to reach out and help people. Continuing my education would increase the amount of care that I can provide.

Throughout, my years in high school, I came across the fact that I had to pick a field of study. The field of study that my career falls under is social science. Social science, is the scientific study of human society and social relationships. Social workers is an academic and practice-based professional authority that seeks to assist the welfare of their clients such as an individual, groups, or bunch of communities. They also stimulate social change while

After high school I was unclear about what I wanted to study. Shortly after graduating, I enrolled at Guttman Community College. At Guttman, first year students were appointed a Student Success Advocate (S.S.A), who acts as an additional advisor for first year students to provide a smooth transition from High School to College. During my time there, my advisor pushed me to identify and detail my aspirations. Every time I was ready to give up, he was there to remind me that I was capable of succeeding. His mentorship was an inspiration and it confirmed that I also wanted to support people professionally. This experience inspired my desire to study social work at the undergraduate level. After receiving my Associates Degree, I enrolled at Lehman College to study Early Childhood Education and Social

Twenty-six years ago. I began the quest to find the perfect college. As I drove down the driveway of Bay Path College, I knew this was the college I was going to attend. I was drawn to the rural setting, the beautiful campus and the small academic community. My intent for life after high school was to get my associates degree, earn some money, then begin working toward my bachelor degree. In retrospect, I did not possess the confidence or drive needed to be a good student. I struggled for the next couple of years to earn my Associates degree, however was apprehensive to commit to the time or expense it would take to continue my education. After a very long break in schooling, I now approach education with a new mindset and ready to commit

My chosen career field is in public service. Precisely a career in firefighting. I believe firefighting is a great career choice as I enjoy the work that it involves, and there is a demand that will never stop for firefighters, as fire will always be around forever. The fire department offers a large variety of services to the public. Some of the major tasks that are performed in the fire service range from providing medical care as an Emergency Medical Technician, Entering a burning structure to search for any trapped occupants, suppressing the fire from the exterior or interior, removing a victim that is trapped inside a vehicle involved in an accident, cutting up a tree that fell over the roadway, to helping the elderly up into bed

One of my primary, short-term educational goals is to complete my Bachelors of Science degree in Communication’s with the emphasis on Mass Media and Broadcasting. My second, short-term educational goal is to complete my studies within the shortest timeframe possible, saving me both time and finances.

My nontraditional postsecondary academic journey began in 2012 where I made a committed decision to attend St. Petersburg College with a major in Psychology. As the first person in my family to have the privilege to attend college, I found my motivational drive, persistence to achieve, and the inspiration to overcome many obstacles that stood in my way. I excelled in my passion as I continue on my academic path as a single mother of two children who have special needs, and having my own disabilities, as well as being an honor student and leader who remains active in serving others. Upon graduation from St. Petersburg College (SPC), I became a student at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg (USFSP) while working as a substitute teacher

All of which are careers I am interested in. The final plan in my academic future is to earn my Master’s Degree in Social Work. After completion of my Master’s, I can pursue the career of my dreams, a Hospice Social Worker.
