My Career Research Paper

The career I chose to undertake as my profession is that of a mechanical engineer. Why do I want to become a mechanical engineer? Well, for starters, I would be able to design, build and possibly repair many various machines and other technologies that are complex. These technologies can range from being already in use on a global scale to new, futuristic designs that are highly technical. Also, this career includes being a sort of jack-of-all-trades, where I would possess knowledge in mathematics, physics, etc. Finally, this career offers me the chance to expand outside my immediate area since mechanical engineers are well desired around the globe as well.

Prior to writing this essay, I sat down with my mom to come up with ideas on stories that have made me who I am today. That is when I realized I have made more personal growth in the past four years of my high school career that I have before this period of time. I am ending my high school career with more knowledge than I ever expected.

I have been working on my academic career for many years now. I am currently in my third year of community college, and have come across multiple teachers who have helped and inspired me in many ways. A teacher not only teaches the content of their course, but life skills as well. They are kind, caring, considerate, and understanding of their students. A teacher who goes above and beyond for their students is one that will make a difference. One teacher who I believe has made all the difference to me, was my accounting professor.

My current career choice is an clinical neuropsychologist. In this position I would assess and diagnose patients, as well as develop treatments plans and aid their rehabilitation. I’ve always had an interest in psychology, but have been contemplating what I might want to specialize in. In this position I would earn a substantial salary and receive the opportunity to work with patients in a hands on matter. This past fall, my other was injured by a hit and run driver. She suffered a large trauma to the brain and had to receive several surgeries. During the time period of her recovery, I began to learn a great deal about traumatic brain injuries. Unfortunately, the extent of my mother’s injuries were too great and she passed away. However, this experience made me very interested in the workings of the brain and effects of these injuries. From this, I’ve been inspired to help others who have suffered injuries similar to my mother.

Introduction- For my research paper I hope to see some amazing opportunities for me that way I can start looking at the perfect college for me to go to and maybe start saving up for it. I hope to accomplish these goals in life so that way I could be successful in life and hopefully be a big influence on some people.

The paper I am writing on my projected career will address the types of writing that are typically done by secondary school English teachers. These writings include, but not limited to, expository writing, essay and creative writing, and research papers.

“You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, but not what I've been through.” Quotes from Jonathan Anthony Burkett. I met my first friend to hang out with when I was eight years old. We played around like other kids everyday which lead me to realize that what people said is not real. Then, puberty changed my life which gave me my first job. Lastly, after having all sorts of experiences in my teenage life, which I found myself in love with the nature of sports, not a specific sport and this became my hobby.

My college career was not very easy as an international student. I had to move from my country to the USA leaving my family and friends behind, once, in the United States, the adjustment did not go well. I was feeling lonely I had no friends at that moment had nobody to talk to or to share my feelings with, I had homesick still having it. I knew I had to be strong physically and mentally to fit myself into the American life, learn the language, and the culture. I kept on working hard and had in mind that I came here to pursue my studies and make my parents proud and I will be successful.

“God’s delays are not denials”, I realized the true meaning of this when I opened my envelope to reveal my fate for the next five years. It read, “8th rank among ten thousand students who appeared in the medical entrance examination”, the remuneration of my two years of hard work and great deal of perseverance.

Hello, I am Courtney. I am majoring in Business Management and would like to minor in Psychology. Currently I do not have a job, but I am soon to be a part of the AVID tutors at my old high school. I have to volunteer for four months until I actually start making money, though. But it is going to definitely be worth it! I am going to be helping students that are in the same position I used to be in and will be providing them with knowledge about college/what to be prepared for. My career goals are to become a successful business owner and of course to make the big bucks! I decided to take this class because I am extremely interested in how/why humans do what they do and the certain topics that are going to be covered. I am more than thrilled to learn new information that I can eventually share amongst others also.

My career objective is to instill self-advocacy skills for youth in order for them recognize that although there are many difficulties in life, there are just as many solutions if you are willing to work for it. I want to continue working within a school as part of a team to encourage and support the development of all adolescents. My long standing life objective(s) is to slow down, help others, and let go of my need for perfection! I am a quick learner and I like to do things “right” so that the result is “perfect”. I am learning that my strengths and weakness are interchangeable. While it is good to be a quick learner, it may not be if I get frustrated with others who do not learn as fast as me. Every day I ask the God of my understanding

Everyone has a story behind who they are as a person and how it affected them throughout their life. When my Grandpa passed away it affected me greatly because he was there for me through the good times and the bad times. For example, when I broke my bike by popping the chain off it made me very sad but he helped me fix it. Another time was when I got good grades in school he was very happy and took me out for ice cream to celebrate my success. He also taught me the importance of exercising and how it leads to a healthier life style. My grandfather is the reason that I am seeking a career in computer engineering.

Everyone in my life already knows what I am going to do with my life. Be a professional wrestler. That last sentence was a joke; I plan to go into the field of IT (Information Technology). After that I want to end up opening my own business. I chose to go into this field early into my 10th grade year after I realized how fun and easy working on computers is. There are a lot of things I am going to have to do to be able to do what I want with my life.

One of the most important jobs in the world is some job in the medical field. Doctors and nurses are needed in the world in order to help people when they are sick or in need of support. When I grow up I would like to major in nursing and help others. I want to be a pediatric nurse and help the infants and children in need of medical care.

My goal for my future career path would be a psychologist. Currently, I am leaning more towards working with children and at-risk youth to help them with potential mental illnesses. It’s been a dream of mine for a long time to help other’s that are battling with internal problems. I’m not sure if I would like to take my degree and become a therapist or strive further to become a psychologist. After completing research for the code of ethics in Psychology I was shocked that it’s so many rules and regulation. I feel this was important for me to be aware of this before I graduate with my degree.
