My Passion For Education

My passion out of hundreds of careers in the U.S is to pursue a career in Nursing. I choose this career because l believes in the change that Nurse brings to help make the world a better place. To fully comprehend the changes Nurses are creating in our society today and why I ‘am passionate about been part of the revolution, one has to look at the role they play in enhancing healthcare service. Nurses play an essential role as the first line of defense for health wellness and information. In addition steeping into someone’s life at their lowest moment and making a difference to their overall experience is an incredible privilege. Mahatma Gandi once said, "the best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others. Hopeless

I hope to gain work experience, to grow in my love for the outdoors and my passion for protecting the environment, and to meet new people who share my passions. I look forward to seeing Yellowstone for the first time and gaining skills that will prepare me for my future occupation in Conservation. Likewise, I seek to earn the tools needed to be successful with my career goals. With this preparation, I will continue fueling my passion for Conservation by involving myself with various programs that further my education and drive me to further my work in the field. By testing out a career in Conservation, I will have a clearer idea of whether or not I wish to pursue a similar occupation.

Upon first entering college, I struggled deciding at such a young age what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Through babysitting and volunteering with pre-school aged children at my church and through a school program called STARS, it became evident to me I had a love for helping children. It fascinated me to see how they viewed the world around them and how quickly they learned new truths everyday. Nevertheless, I knew I would not get the full enjoyment interacting with children as a schoolteacher because the teacher to student ratio is so large. Classroom demands would make it much more difficult to devot individualized attention to each student, and I did not like that concept. So

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.

when i was growing up i never thought i would want to become a teacher. I always thought i would be something more exciting like a storm chaser, or a astronaut. a teacher back then to me was nothing special, it was just a boring job dealing with ungrateful children. Then when i entered high school I realized teaching students wasn’t as bad as i thought. I started tutoring kids in both math and history. i loved it when they would begin to understand a problem they were stuck on or they remembered that one date in history so they can pass a test. It was amazing.

Choosing a career is not an easy task. As a child, I never knew what I eventually wanted to grow up to be, but in the back of my mind I would always say a teacher because I come from a long history of teachers in my family. One of my grandpas was a high school math teacher along with coaching the football team. My aunt is an elementary school substitute teacher specializing in special needs students, while my uncle is a high school history teacher. While, my father is a physical education teacher who has taught at both the elementary and high school level. Growing up around so many teachers made me think I was destined to be a teacher, although at the time, I was not passionate about it, until my senior year of high school. Senior year I decided to take a child development course where I had the opportunity to volunteer daily at an elementary school. I quickly fell in love with the students and decided that inspiring young children to succeed was my calling. It was this opportunity that made me decide that becoming a teacher was my destiny. Last year I declared as a Child and Adolescent Studies (CHAD) to peruse my dreams of becoming a teacher

In my 24 years of experience employed with the Department of Education I have found that working with children watching as they grow is inspiring as much as it is rewarding. Teaching helps one to sharpen their skills on all levels for the curriculum is forever changing. Being an educator has its challenging moments but its something I want to accomplish. To be successful at educating others I must continue to grow, increase and improve within.

Prior to attending college I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. My only goal senior year of high school was to get accepted into a good college or university. Fortunately, I did get into a really good school, but my dilemma was I didn’t know what I wanted to major in. I decided to major in education, sadly because you get summers and weekends off. However, I was completely blind to how hard a teacher works and upon attending St. John’s University School of Education, I gained a new found appreciation for teaching. I decided my Freshman Year that this is what I wanted to do.

I got into the education profession because several of my relatives are teachers. Growing up, I would always hear stories of how a student succeeded in their class and it not only made the student happy, but the teacher felt like they accomplished the world as well. I want to have that feeling in my future classroom, the feeling of helping a child accomplish something that they don't understand or struggle with, or exceed their goals that they have set for themselves.

Every child at an early age has dreamed about being a teacher at one point of their childhood. I remember at six years old, I always believed that I was going to become a teacher, maybe even the best one in my six year old mindset. I would set up all my stuffed animals in a row, creating a school setting and I remember making spelling test for all my “students” across from me. After middle school that idea definitely did not come up again. Fast forwarding to now, my senior year of highschool, I realized that I wanted to become a Real Estate Agent or a Wildlife Biologist. Or maybe become a Wildlife Biologist and invest in real estate on the side. I believed that each job is very difficult but through hard work I hope I can achieve my goals

My desire to teach really derives from those who really connected me with the love for educating others. The connection I made with my fourth grade teacher really encouraged me to seek a change for the better in my life and help others do the same. For she turned out to be one of my best friends who would watch out and made sure to tell me when something was not quite right with me. The connection I had with her made me feel like I was a part of her family, and could do anything with her support. The way she always had time to listen to my drama or play games with my friends and I created this idea that maybe I could be that person for other kids. In the fourth grade I had just moved from a very different demographic of kids, only had a few

Growing up I have been fortunate enough to have been taught by some truly inspirational teachers and I am well aware of the effect they have had on my life and the choices I have made subsequently. My own passion for working with young children extends from wanting to emulate those role models and have the same impact on other children.

My path to medicine does not follow a typical route. It was not until I was 25 that I found my passion for medicine. Shortly before then, I had emigrated from Australia to the United States. I saw this move as an opportunity to leave my first career, banking, behind. I had known for a few years that banking just was not for me. While I liked helping people achieve their goals, financial goals seemed rather shallow. After all, there is only so many houses, cars, boats, etc. that somebody can enjoy. I wanted to help people in a way that was more personally fulfilling, so I decided to train as an EMT shortly after I immigrated. I saw EMT training as a pathway to help people in what is often a time of their greatest need. However, it was not

This project interests me, Meldrick Ravida, because I have a passion for technology. The innovations and breakthroughs we make in medicine are absolutely astounding. I believe this project will yield positive results in our community by persuading teens to take steps toward optimizing their health, by getting the necessary vaccinations; in addition to providing data for the JABSOM students. Being able to work with Medical School students will be a great experience to explore different pathways and learn more about public health as well - a possible health career to pursue. I would like to say that all four of us have the work ethic, ingenious, and motivation to partake in a project bigger than ourselves. We all get along well with each other

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.
