My Career Goals For Students With Community Outreach Programs

To accomplish anything in life, you must set goals. These goals must be realistic and achievable. Two years ago, I was at a point in my life that I never believed I would see. I was finally at my associate’s degree graduation day. Becoming at teen mom at 17, college had never even crossed my mind. This was a moment in my life where I was able to not be your average teen mom statistic. Continuing to better my life and my daughter’s I set a new goal after graduation to achieve my bachelor’s degree. After speaking with UMUC counselors, I decided to obtain my bachelor’s degree in Social Science with a minor in Emergency Management. Currently, I am in my final two classes at UMUC with a scheduled graduation date of May 15.

I am a dedicated educator who has devoted her life to educating low-income families in New Orleans, Louisiana. By pursuing my doctorate at Argosy University, I believe that the rigorous course of study will enhance my knowledge and productivity in the workplace. Argosy University Educational Leadership program is compatible with my career goals. My career goals are to obtain higher education, teach adult learners and to start a non-profit organization. The non-profit organization will focus on low-economics families while giving needed educational services to students who attend the charter schools of Orleans parish. As I researched Argosy University curriculum and conversated with an admission counselor I am convinced the University gives a supportive learning environment for student’s lives and careers.

My passion is working with young children. I am interested in the field of child psychology. During the past four years, I have been dedicated to becoming a well-rounded student, immersing myself into my studies. Additionally, I have participated in numerous scholastic, athletic and community service projects in an effort to position myself to be successful in my college

Through experiencing social injustices, and making myself more culturally aware of inequality amongst social classes, I believe I have cultivated the leadership skills necessary for success. My willingness to reach out to the environment beyond me has exposed me to a career path that excites me and is my true passion. I plan to take action to improve the lives of the defenseless and those who are politically and socially disadvantaged. Through utilizing what I have learned by dedicating my time to service I know that I will truly make an impact on the lives of the helpless. During my years attending university I plan to continue a rigorous course load focused on a career path that truly intrigues me. I also plan on continuing to dedicate my free time to service and philanthropy. Overall, I have dedicated my high school career to becoming a leader in and out of the classroom. I hope that by attending University of Texas-Austin I will be able to utilize the resources provided to become a leader prepared to make worldwide change, continue on a path of academic achievement, and create a successful future not only for myself, but for those in generations to come as

The purpose of this assignment is that I will be reflecting on my own engagement in professional relationships and establish key skills that underpin lifelong learning. I will also be looking into how to perform evidence-based practice and reflect on my capabilities and weaknesses identified in my SWOT analysis (see appendix 1) and personal development plan (see appendix 2).

After reading Sonja Ardoin’s (2014) “the strategic guide to shaping your student affairs career” book, I read a variety of important content that has allowed me to reflect not only in my fieldwork position, as an Advising Assistant for the Puente Program, but also my current status as a graduate student in the Educational Counseling program.

Shenitta Niles is on her third semester at Roxbury Community College. She got her high school diploma back in 2011 from Charles Town high school. She originally started out at Bunker Hill Community College, but later transferred to Roxbury Community College due to the low cost, convenience and transportation. Although she is a mother of a young child, she attends the college full time pursuing a major in early childhood education. Constantly being around her daughter and other young children has inspired her to pursue that career. She isn’t sure on the type of field she hopes to work at once she finishes her associate’s degree, but she will continue on to a four year college pursuing this path. Nevertheless, a long term goal of hers is to

I am a Human Resources major who plans to pursue a teaching career at the secondary level as a Business and Spanish teacher. I am currently a junior and plan to graduate in the fall of 2017. After graduation, I will seek to obtain my teacher certification and continue to work with KISD as an educator inspiring other students to achieve a higher education.

As a young child I remember being asked the question: “what do you want to be when you grow up.” While I struggled with the answer for many years, in the course of deep reflection I found that I knew two truths about myself: I loved education, and I gained fulfillment through helping others. Developing and learning in the course of my four years at Loyola University Chicago, I discovered a passion to pursue a career in higher education.

A program that is oriented around illuminating the complex problems that surround our world on a daily basis really connects to what I hope to receive in my college experience. This program incorporates progressive ways of teaching principal

In this week’s lecture Justin Lee came to speak to speak to the class on Careers in Social Work. He led the lecture by discussing his career choices and pathway in which spoke a lot about his academic’s. Justin received his PhD at a college in Richmond, VA and when he was eighteen years old he traveled to Guatemala for academic study. In Guatemala Justin taught classes and visited orphanages where children where. As he grew older after obtaining a PhD he decided to teach classes at Barton College in Wilson, NC for undergraduate students. In his earlier years before the PhD his career wasn’t quite what he expected today. He told the class that he choose to study Sociology because the professor teaching it at the time was really good.

Activity 3 – Ability to reflect on own practice and development needs and maintain a plan for personal development

At the start of the semester I developed personal goals through Bloom’s revised taxonomy outlined by Bastable (2014). My first goal addressed the cognitive domain stating: At the completion of this course I will be able to assess practices within my clinical area in relation to evidence based practice. This goal was met as the spirit of inquiry has become lit within my practice. Each practice within my unit I view with a new light and a questioning attitude. Through research analysis I am able to find current research and evaluate the limitations of the study and determine if it can be generalized to my patient population.

Statement of Interest: School Counseling My main career objective is to help children and adolescents throughout my entire career. I want to promote a healthy environment for children to learn and become well rounded. A degree in school counseling would allow me to work with children and adolescents in a hands on way and introduce them to activities, volunteerism, colleges, and to help them find their own passions. I have job shadowed a few different career paths that I have had interest in throughout my college career (school counselor, social worker, and nonprofit advocate), and I fell in love with the idea of working in a school as a counselor when I job shadowed at Portland High School in Tennessee.
