My Goals And Career Goals

Growing up I have always had huge goals set for myself and I have had a lot of obstacles that have had a big impact on where I want to go in life. Those obstacles made me realize that maybe I can be different my life and that lead me to where I am today, senior year at Mountain View High School. I’m Caroline Kalcheff, and this is how I used my past issues to develop my future goals and dreams.

My long-term goal with my college education is to complete my Bachelor's degree and eventually continue on to receive my Master’s degree in criminal justice. The first step to complete my long-term goal is receiving my Associate’s degree in criminal justice by May 2017. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

Participation in sport alone has not been enough for me. A degree in Sport and Exercise Science is the obvious option to satisfy my fascination with how the human body functions, a deep-rooted passion which has only been amplified by my own exploits as an athlete.

From a very young age, I have loved being involved in sport and fitness. My earliest memories all involve me running around with a ball or a bat of some kind either in my hand or at my feet. My love for physical activity has remained and since then, I have becoming increasingly interested in coaching and the more theoretical side of sport. This has inspired me to pursue a career in physical education and coaching.

Students need lessons that they can carry on for the rest of their life. In this class I learn many of those types of lessons. I learn many things about the vet science world. I do not want to be a vet, but I want to be a doctor. In this class I learn many things about the anatomy of animals, a lot of which applies to what I will need to know when I am a doctor. I also learn everyday life lessons. No teacher understands that they teach their students more from what is not in the lesson. They teach students so much about themselves that the students could not understand without these teachers. An article I read by Huffpost Education stated “it is vital that students learn how to connect what occurs in the class with their lives and the world outside of the classroom.” I agreed

My career goal is to receive my doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy. I would like to work with geriatric population because they are more vulnerable to disabilities from chronic illness that results in them being put into nursing facilities. I want to specialize my education on physical disabilities. I have experience working with the geriatric patients who are physically disabled and I hope to help them keep their independence. My goal is to help geriatric patients gain valuable skills in order to keep their independence and have the ability to live at home. As an occupational therapist, I will help patients do things they want to do through therapeutic methods of everyday living. I would teach them new ways of doing daily actives after suffering from a disability. For example, a patient who had a stroke, I would reteach this individual how to hold items, how to button shirts, and so on. I would prefer to work at patients’ home or in a clinic setting; however, I am open to working wherever my skills would be needed. Since I want to work in the patients’ home, my main goal is to evaluate and change their home, so it is easier for them to stay independent. I have an interest in working with patients who have developmental delays; however, I need to observe an OT specialized in that field to know for certain if that is something I would like to specialize in.

My long term goal is to become a profiler in the BAU. In ten years, I can see myself still in college, working to get a bachelors degree in either psychology or criminal justice, and maybe even in sociology and forensic science. While also gaining at least three years of experience as an agent before applying as a Special Agent and qualifying for at least one of the FBI Special Agent Programs in either law, language, accounting, computer science/information technology, or diversified. I would also have to be older than 23, but younger than 37. I would analyze criminal cases for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to get a psychological, behavioral and legal profile of the unsub (Unknown Subject).

Playing sports from a young age, one would speculate to discover their niche, and be able to pursue an athletic college career, however that is not always the case. As a child, I explored an assortment of sports including basketball, soccer, cross country, and subsequently volleyball. Moreover, it was not until my discovery of volleyball that I found a sport I truly loved. Although I loved the game, my skill level didn't quite come to par. I never touched a volleyball until 7th grade, let alone learned how to pass, set, and hit accurately. Wanting to improve, I assisted my dad in rigging up a net in the backyard and practiced every day of summer, occasionally utilizing my family members as teammates. Throughout middle school my passion flourished for this new game to the extent that I decided to join a travel league to continue playing year round. However, when I entered high school volleyball my

My current career goals include working in the field of microbiology. Although, I am at a crossroads regarding my path of study: becoming a pathologist (medical doctor) or gaining a Masters as a microbiologist. I am highly interested in conducting research for the CDC or other firms in studying viruses and other pathogens and developing vaccines or cures. My interest for pathogens started as a child when I would watch countless zombie films. I later discovered I was more interested in the disease and the idea of a pandemic than the actual zombie thriller. In high school I enrolled in science classes and researched more about pathogens and occupations involving microorganisms and determined that I would pursue a career in microbiology. My interest

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” Through my twenty-two years of experience in the classroom and my educational courses, I have developed a teaching philosophy that will be implemented into my classroom. I am continually learning new strategies to make my classroom a positive environment. My hope is to constantly change in ways through my attitude and teaching style to help my students be successful in learning Biology. I will analyze my students’ needs and prepare lessons accordingly to their strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses.

Similarly, I had to learn the basics of science. My starting uncoordinated form vanished through seasons of practice and devotion, and eventually I became an athlete. I was privileged to play against great athletes both in local leagues and in international matches. These contests stimulated and dared me to pursue my full potential. Prominently, through soccer, I became familiarized with subjects of biology, chemistry, physics and physiology. It was at a soccer academy where I was taught about ATP and I made my initial connection between sport and science. As my ability in soccer grew, it was similarly pleasing to find my familiarity with the sciences developing. The concepts were strengthened as I started to study the reasoning behind every workout. Soccer exemplified the game I played for many years at a higher division level. Major trauma gridlocked emerging dreams and put me on a different course. The knee restrictions coupled with the reconstructive jaw surgery and physical therapy my sophomore year of high school all but ended a potential sports career before it even began. Luckily, throughout this time, my interest in science was high, and by the end of my high school years I was attracted by the thought of a career in

My ultimate career goal is to obtain a position as a health care executive or director in a respectable health care facility. However, to achieve my objective, I must complete my master’s degree in business administration. Although, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015), states that such a position requires a bachelor’s degree and less than five years of experience for an entry level position, which I have, I would like to further my education and increase my changes of obtaining and securing the position.

One of the most important key factors to succeeding throughout your life is creating goals for yourself. Some goals are short-term that can be accomplished within a year, while others are long term goals that you work for over a long period of time. Majority of the goals that I have set for myself require hard word, dedication, and planning. To achieve the goals that I have set for myself, I attend an institution that drives my creative mind in a direction that will bring prosperity and achievement. Receiving an education from Spelman college has enabled me to become a critical thinker in a society that is diverse. The three main goals that I have set for myself are based upon ways I can strive in my academic journey, personal life, and
