My Career Experience

I THEN WALK TO THE KITCHEN DOOR AND SEE IF THE COOK HAS EVERYTHING READY AND PREPARED. THE COOK IS WORKING OFF A PREVIOUSLY AGREED MENU (AGREED BY THE RESIDENTS) ONCE EVERYTHING IS READY, I PUT ON A CLEAN APRON (GREEN-FOOD/CATERING) AND GLOVES (BLUE).

I didn’t know what I was going to study or what my plans for the future were. I began speaking with a variety of professionals in areas such as healthcare and business. During my pursuit of finding a career path I decided to observe a physical therapist as well as a physical therapist’s assistant at Northwest Ohio Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. While observing, I was able to view the physical therapist work with a diverse group of patients. One patient was a young athlete working towards rehabilitating a knee injury. Although this particular patient helped gain my interest in physical therapy, there was another patient that genuinely opened my eyes to the importance of physical therapy as a profession. This patient was a middle aged woman who had been in a car accident and had shattered multiple bones spanning from her foot up to her hip on one side of her body. When I met her, she had been working with physical therapists for months and was just beginning to get comfortable walking short distances. Meeting this woman changed my perception of the profession, and after these observations I decided physical therapy was what I ultimately wanted to do with my life. I began contemplating how I could use my strengths and make a difference in this career. Hopefully, from my knowledge of science obtained from the exercise science curriculum I would be able to develop new methods of

For my Career Exploration Project, I chose the career of legal secretary. In the practice of law, a legal secretary is person who works in the legal profession, typically assisting lawyers. I chose legal secretary, because I have been exposed and aware of this profession for a while. My mother has been involved in the legal secretarial field of work for about two and a half years now. Seeing lawyers and their assistants on television first interested me in the career, but my mother being a legal secretary furthered my interest. My mother took me to her place of business a few times. I wasn’t able to see lawyers in full action, but I got to see my mom and some other legal secretaries in meetings and conferences.

When I was five years old my brother had a lung disease and being in the hospital around all the doctors and nurses made me want to go into that career field. That experience made me what to help people in the hospital. I personally hated all those doctors because they didn’t explain or give the patients any comfort or hope. I would like to be different and tell people the truth but also give them comfort and make them feel important not just another patient with a sickness.

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.

I had the privilege of starting my career at Union County College in July 2007 as an Adjunct Faculty member of Chemistry. For the past 10 years, I have served our students in different capacities, such as the Faculty Coordinator for American Honors Program, the Chair of the Chemistry Department, the Faculty Advisor to Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, and the Faculty Advisor to the Student Government Association.

I decided to go into college Undecided Pre-Med with aspirations to one day become an orthopedic surgeon. I took a heavy course load: Biology, Biology lab, Chemistry, and Chemistry lab (along with general education classes) each semester I was there. Along this journey, I began to realize that the Pre-Med pathway really wasn’t my passion. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to work more intimately with my patients and develop relationships with them. This realization along with my unhappiness at the university really reflected in my performance in

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.

My end goal is to be able to work when I want to by age 50. So some of my career goals are to learn a trade that I love which is science, business, computers, and a tiny bit of sociology. These interests are what make me pursue certain career goals such as getting a job at a large corporation to learn science, business, and interact with people. The things that have helped shaped my career goals and interests are my friends, family, scientists, and books. I inherited a curiosity of the world from my family and friends and honed my curiosity, imagination, and sometimes eccentric ideas as well. I learned philosophy, laws of the universe, and what I am made of from the great scientists such as Feynmann, Einstein, MIchio Kaku, and many more. From

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 field of genetics is a captivating subject with the potential for immense growth in numerous career fields. 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

Lynnsey Welcome to the class! . I had a work in the rehab place while I was doing my internship it seem like being very interesting, but my heart went out for you, and we also have some women who come to the facility with pain medication that also can be a challenge.

As I sit down to take up a controller and power on the game console, I prepare for the amazing graphical fidelity, mesmerizing gameplay, and incredible music, it constantly reminded me how this one machine could do it all, as well as programs, computers, and code. 8th grade was where I began that journey to grow my liking for electronics. Now, Lehigh gives me the chance to continue my quest like an adventure game, a chance to reach challenges to solve and reach my ultimate goal. Exactly as I envisioned, Lehigh allows me to work with others, use my skills to practice out in the real world, and most of all, do research and create projects through ABET and Lehigh's Integrated Product Design (IPD) program. With research, I would like to go deeper

American society values higher education. College provides many opportunities for developing a variety of social networks, both formal and informal. Obtaining a college degree will be such a valuable and

My first day I was excited to see what this internship would have in store for me including all of the new and fabulous people I would be meeting along the way. Jamie and I would be working together most of the time because her and I could do the same things to the patients since she wasn’t a certified PT/PTA yet. She taught me a lot from different injuries to the different exercises we can do for the injuries. Mike was the PTA that I would work with as well when I could, he showed me different techniques for seeing how an injury can affect other aspects of the persons daily life and how he would come up with the different exercise plans to help strengthen the area. One of the first things I learned was in order to heal the area that is causing pain the patient must strengthen the area around it in order to ensure that it will not happen again. I thought that Physical Therapy was just to help make the injury/problem area feel better not to help make the area stronger at the same time.
