My Career As A Career

My life is a bit of a rollercoaster. I knew what I wanted to do since a young age; however, different paths and decisions brought me to my goal in a roundabout way. After high school I decided to take time off before going to college because I was fortunate enough to have a successful career in retail management. Around the nine year mark I decided that I wanted to return to my goal of entering the medical field, which I was already in the process of doing by attending Northeastern and working towards my BS in Biological Sciences. My ultimate goal being to achieve an MS as a physician assistant. When moving into health care I started in the Urgent Care Department which was closely related to one of the fields I am interested in when practicing

As seniors in high-school we are always asked about what career we want to pursuit,and where we want to take our lives. I began thinking about what I like and what subjects I was good at. I found out I loved math and science and was good at them too. Then I knew that the health field was really for me. I began searching for ways for me to see if I really liked it, so I applied to go to scrubs health camp at Augsburg college near my house. I really liked it and saw that my love for kids had me leaning to becoming a pediatrician. I had my doubts on that also because of the number of years of schooling, and one day I stumbled upon a pediatric nurse practitioner occupation and began reading about it. I loved it so much that

It wasn’t until my senior year in high school when I realized that I needed to decide what to choose as a career field in which I actually had an interest in pursuing. My aunt handed me a bunch of pamphlets that dealt with a variety of different career types: business, criminal justice, education, etc. That was when I came across the healthcare field. I have always loved being able to help others as much as I am able to. There were plenty of field’s that sounded interesting but that’s when I came across the one that I was eager to begin my college career on.

“So, do you know what you are doing yet after graduation?” This is a notorious question everybody gets asked at one point in their lifetime. Most people do not know the answer to this question, for there is a very broad range of things to do. I have known ever since I was little that I wanted to go to college for something along the lines of medical science, or health science. I just was not sure for what job exactly. It was not until this previous summer when it hit me that I wanted to become a physical therapist. One day my mother and I went to Vantage Physical Therapy because she had an appointment for her foot. As soon as I walked into the building, I looked around and was just blown away by the facility. There were tons of enjoyable, genial people everywhere. During the appointment, I had paid close attention to everything the therapist had done and was incredibly intrigued. Not to mention, I love anything that has to deal with science, the human body, and health. While I was observing at the appointment, everything piqued my interest. To give an illustration, the therapist had me help tape people’s legs and my mother’s foot. I immediately fell in love with physical therapy. When I had gotten home, I quickly ran to the computer to scrutinize the requirements such as education, degrees, licenses, background information, just about everything. I knew it was the job for me! Now when people ask me that renowned question I can finally answer, “Why yes, yes I do!”

When I first started college, I had several questions I asked myself regarding my future. I thought about what my major would be and what my living arrangements would look like post-grad, but I never questioned what my future career would look like. While I had an overwhelming amount of options, I always had a fixed certainty that I would be in the medical field. The only question was in what capacity? Coming in as a freshman, I could have studied to be a surgeon, a doctor, or even a medical lawyer. Ultimately, I knew that changing people’s lives through medicine was my passion—I just needed to find an outlet. However, not once did my 18-year-old self think that I would find my way into a nursing career. As I’ve come to find, life rarely works out as planned. What lead me on the pathway to becoming a nurse is all but conventional, yet I would not change any

Originally when I thought I liked medicine the only term I knew was “doctor”, so for a while, that's what I wanted to become. However through exploration, I found that there were many different types of medicine, and by examining what I enjoy I'm now interested in working in pediatrics or geriatrics. If I’m accepted into this program, I hope to grow in my basic knowledge as well as explore many different potential pathways to help further decide what to pursue. Another career I'm interested in is nursing or becoming a nurse practitioner. Many of my relatives have found joy in nursing and through them, I’ve seen the many sides of medicine that

hen I first started college here at the University of Southern Mississippi, I was undecided on what I wanted to do in the future. I have always been very passionate about working in the medical field and knew that was something that I could see myself doing in the future. I first started out majoring in Biology, because I wanted to be a Physical Therapist. Throughout high school my career interests switched back and forth from physical therapy to nursing. I decided to major in Biology because I was very interested in science and knew there would be plenty opportunities to learn more about it. During sophomore year I continued thinking about nursing and eventually knew that my heart was leading me towards changing my major. After I changed

I recently graduated with my associate degree at Palm Beach college.It has been 3 years since I graduated from Glades Central Community High school.At first,I was not really sure about what I'm going to study because I was not had a specific career I want to study.But right now,I really sure about what I'm going to study .My plan is to be a physical therapist and my present goal is to go for my bachelor degree. I know there will be challenges but if I really want this I could overcome any challenge that's come my way. I am very determining about it ,and I will work very hard for me to be successful in this

This coming fall, I have plans to attend University of California Santa Barbara where I will major in biology. While there I plan to attain a 4.0. During my time at this university I have intent to receive my CNA license and work an entry level position in medicine to help pay for college as well as giving me experience and appreciation for those who make doctors and nurses lives much easier. Upon graduation I will go to medical school to become an Emergency Room Physician. During my life as a doctor I would like to dedicate approximately a month of every year participating in the Doctors Without Borders program. I believe that it is important to help not only your own, but those around you.

Northwestern acts as a platform to showcase my skills. All throughout my life, I have been told to work my best, and I have. I have put every ounce of life and effort into my very being. Whether that range from the arts to the conscience. It is this very effort that makes me think that Northwestern is one the best universities for my persona. Its diversity in schooling is something that I am very keen to. The university has a school of music, a school of arts and sciences, a school of communication and many more. This appeals to me because my interests range much like the schools that are at Northwestern. I love singing my heart out with intense vibrato but compassionate tone. I love reading up on the latest medical research and publications.

Picking a career is one of the things that will never be as easy as we hope, however, once you become inspired and invested in a field because of the impact it makes you no longer struggle to decide where you want to go in life. I did not know from a young age that a career in the medical field would be my calling. I became interested in the medical field during my junior year of high school. We were discussing what we wanted to do in life and why. I did not really know what I wanted to do, but I did know that I wanted to make a positive impact in people's lives. I was interested in going into a career where I could help others, have a variety of experiences, share in life changing moments, establish trust with others and be a part of something

On many occasions my personal goals have come before my professional aspirations. A career in the medical field has always been something I have looked forward to. As a child I wanted and dreamed of being a doctor, however due to the choices I made in life and the priorities that I had not thought of, I have come to realize that my childhood dream may not come true. Yet, I was able to compromise and make short and long term goals that will lead me into a career in the medical field. My long term goal is to enter the medical field world and be a respected contributor to it. I want to be able to help others in the time of need. In

When I was a young girl, I enjoyed playing doctor with my family. I was the only one that was willing to clean up a wound and “make it feel better.” So, initially, I wanted to be the best doctor the world had ever seen. That dream was slowly crushed when I nearly passed out as the pediatric nurse came at me with what seemed like a yard long sword. Turns out, I am beyond scared of needles. Who knew that a doctor had to have some affiliation with needles? My five year old self no longer wanted to be a part of this field. I was driven back to school and that was when I realized I wanted to be a teacher. My teacher was very caring and she had the privilege of spending time with five year olds and color all day! Best job ever. Except, I did not think about the naughty kids she had to deal with. That job was out of the big picture too. Although I did not find my passion with these two jobs, I realized what they had in common; the desire to help others. My plan is to become a dental hygienist and then from there, hopefully become a well known orthodontist.

After becoming part of Wingate I have noticed that I have been exposed to new ideas and I have been able to create my own opinions and thoughts of certain things. Surrounding myself with people I have never met in a new environment. Learning their stories and their interests made me think about my life and my interests. I never really knew what I wanted to major in or do for the rest of my life after college. I was never really sure what would interest me and once I started college it was kind of hard to know if I would enjoy working with whatever job I could get with the major I chose. After taking some health science classes in high school I thought maybe a career in the health field would match my interests. However, after being in college I questioned myself whether if this is what I really wanted to do. How would I

While preparing for this essay I realized that a majority of the career paths I want to go down involved a similar theme, fashion, and creativity. After further assessment of my chosen paths, I feel like my personality and the way that I work would be better suited for a business of my own, rather than working through a company like Sephora or Avon. I know I’d be more comfortable working in a place where I can choose which brands and techniques I use on clients, rather than a job where I’m forced to use certain items that I don’t completely trust. Using tools I’m comfortable with and using my own creative energy, aside from someone else 's, would make me feel happier with my work. Although I’ll have to work with clients in the future, I know that having that baseline will make my work all the more satisfying. I don’t personally have anyone or know anyone in my family who has a career quite like this, I know a few people who have either done this for a career either as a way of living or as a stepping stool to launch their own business. One of the people I’ve researched is the drag queen Miss Fame, also known as Kurtis Dam-Mikkelsen. Kurtis started his career as a male model in California, soon moving to New York and becoming a makeup artist. At the same time becoming the drag queen Miss Fame. While in New York he did his own, along with other people’s, drag makeup. After an appearance on the
