My First Thought Became A Drama / Theatre Arts Teacher For A High School

Throughout history in the United States, we have multiplied the amount of individuals who are considering or participating in the fields: social work and/or counselor. These career fields are not always positive because individuals see situations that makes them cringe. However, there is a lot of rewarding aspects of these specific fields, each individuals learns how to help individuals with hard situations, help parents understand about why a child is acting a certain way, and help individuals who are seeking help for a various of reasons. Having a career you are passionate about should not matter if you are getting paid a million bucks to a dollar, it should be about the love and compassion you have to help a person in need.

Since a young age, I have always felt a special connection with children and how they are affected by physical disabilities and psychological disturbances. In this instance, all I can do is volunteer at different organizations to achieve my life purpose. Helping children feel better has always been what makes me feel glad. Currently, I am in the second semester of my psychology major, which I plan to extend to the fullest. Becoming one of the most distinguished women in child psychology in my residential area, being able to help children overcome traumas and frustrations, would stand for my goal completed. My belief is that every bit of who you become as an adult is because of how you felt as a child. I want to be there for those low-income families with children with behavioral disorders, who are not able to help pay for the consultations. When I have enough funds necessary my plan is to establish my kids' organization focused on helping children with a mental

For my education I would like to become a vet which means I have to get a PHD in vet school. To help me get started next year I will Medical in 8th grade and also take it in high school. If I take Medical next year and find out it is not for me I will try to become a teacher and follow the line of teachers in my family. My grandma, on my mom’s side, is a high school teacher and as you know my mom is the AP at Shivela Middle School, or I will follow my dream in acting as you may know I am in Theatre, and I love it I have been in plays all throughout elementary elementary school I was the main character in my 1st grade christmas play, I was also little miss muffet in my kindergarten play, also I has the sign holder in my after school program play that would introduce each scene like “Twas the Night before Christmas.” Some of my career goals are to be an intern at a local shelter and graduate high school ready to go right into college and know what it would be for like teaching or vet

Soon after my graduation, I became an Adaptive Physical Educator (APE) and worked at a public school in Puerto Rico for three years. While as an APE my empathy for those suffering from diverse disabilities increased. Although circumstances beyond my control forced me to work in other facets, the personal and professional growth obtained as an APE will follow me for the rest of my life. After several decades of working on other jobs, and feeling dissatisfied with my existing profession at that time, I decided to conduct a career assessment. The assessment pointed out mostly at professions helping people; among them, psychology. It was then that at 42 years of age, I decided to return to school and study

When I enrolled into Bryan collage I knew I wanted to work in the psychology field, but not sure what specific area. Honestly, to this day I am still undecided. Working in the school system seems like a job I would enjoy, but there is so much controversy about budgets and cut backs so that scares me a little. I work with children now and their parents so I think I could handle this job daily with no problems. However, I feel drawn to work on the clinical side and have for some time now. There are so many people out there who need help makes me want to join the field that much more. I have nothing but respect for anyone already working in it.

I see myself having earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from VCU’s graduate program a few year prior. After graduation and a bit of job searching I found my place at a Psychology firm or group as a clinical psychologist. At work I will treat abnormal patients who have moderate to severe mental disorders through various therapeutic techniques I have learned and developed through school and my colleagues. This work will bring me great joy knowing that I can help those who are suffering reach a state where they can function in day to day life. The professional relationships I will develop between myself and my patients as I help them understand and treat their disorder will help me feel fulfilled and like I am doing my part in giving back to my fellow man. This however would not be my only work. Two years prior I fulfilled a lifetime dream of mine, I published a series of poems that I have been working on since high

Up until recently I did not know what I wanted to do with my degree. I was attending school and taking courses but I really had no idea which way to go upon graduation. Recently, after contemplating multiple career choices have decided that I want to become a licensed professional counselor and specialize in expressive/creative therapy working with children. Expressive therapies are those that introduce action to psychotherapy and that action within therapy and life is rarely limited to a specific mode of expression. Specifically, creative arts therapies share a commitment to the "expressive action that engages emotions in a direct and physical way; an ability to generate creative energy as a healing force for mind, body, and spirit; and a

When I was 10years old , the only dream I had, was of becoming a fashion designer.I had everything planned , starting from my daily schedule to the structure of my house , even so that I had decided which of my family members would be allowed to stay with me when I moved to Paris ! As I grew older, I was more and more intrigued by everything and everyone around me. In a nutshell ,

When I was at stage 5 point of my life, I was very confused as to what was great for me and what wasn’t. I use to change my career major every year. But my life experiences help me determine who I was and what my purpose is. Everybody has a gift or talent in life. Figuring out how to use it wisely is the key. For me I like to help people as a result, I have a soft heart for people I would help my friends get jobs and I gave them money if they needed it. Then I started hanging around their environment. This lead me to getting in to stuff that I had no business doing. So that taught me to help people but don’t put yourself in a position to fail so I decided to become a teacher and football coach, so I can teach people the good about life and how to stay focus, also how to avoid bad situations and which in my opinion are growing up faster every day and experiencing stuff at younger ages. So a mentor in a kid’s life can be very

Many people would say I should be a therapist or a counselor. I have a talent of giving advice and seeing problems from other perspectives. I think differently from other people rather than continuing on with an argument or so. Which is why I’m taking psychology as of right now because I enjoy learning new things about the brain. Being able to change someone’s view on something is really hard seeing as I’ve done it multiple times. Looking at myself, I’ve learned how to handle things since I’ve helped people with other situations. I’m really glad I am the way I am. Some will say it’s weird and some will says its different, I say it’s

I am primarily interested in psychology because it gives me the opportunity to help people first hand. Although helping people seems like a vague mission, it is what drives me. I have been active in volunteer work since middle school, because it was the only way that I could make an impact. I still participate in volunteer work, although I am more focused on furthering my future career because I feel that I will be able to help people better as a psychologist. Early on in my life, my mission in life was incredibly vague. I just knew that I wanted to help people the best I could. I have managed to refine my mission down, and I am now focused more on helping people with brain damages live a full life, instead of helping

I crave a new beginning, to grow beyond words and no longer hinder myself. My father passed away shortly before my thirteenth birthday. Since I am the youngest of two children and having the burden of a broken family already the loss was almost unbearable. My older sister to this day has coping issues, she was barely sixteen at the time. It was through the compassion of trying to keep her together that my passion for psychology evolved. Psychology is used everyday and though it may seem so simple it is truly empowering. My goal is to continue my education and become a child therapist. I currently work in a daycare and witness the behavioral differences in children daily. Examples of these are children who are being emotionally neglected and

I aspire to be a singer, dancer, and actress. I can’t see myself doing anything else besides that after high school. I also want to break the stereotypes on Broadway and make it more diverse. There are not enough minorities that get to perform there.

If a someone desires to earn a Master’s Degree in Psychology, they may want to take a personal inventory of themselves and make ask themselves if they possess what it takes to work with and help others through some very difficult times in their lives. Helping others as well as being fascinated my what it is that makes others tick is crucial to the future of psychology. What makes someone do the things they do, say the things they say, and act the way they act. One of the hardest things we must each ask ourselves is do we possess and value the art of communication and engagement.

As most young adults that change their career goals, I experienced the same except the only detailed that never change was the passion towards helping people. Ever since I could remember I have a gift and it’s simply loving to help human beings. Dealing with people can easily be underestimated. Personally I’d like to see it as a valuable characteristic a person can possibly have. However, I have come to understand that working with human beings it’s not the easiest thing to do but a challenge it’s what makes the journey worth living. I was committed to my dream ever since I was in High School. Since my freshman year it was when I knew I wanted to grow in the Hospitality field. Ever since I made the choice to follow that specific career path I have not yet looked any other way but to keep growing. Currently, I am focused in pursuing my masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology. In the future it will successfully prepare me for a position in the Human Resources department.
