Personal Essay: Pursuing A Career

I will never look at a cubicle office job, a burger-flipping joint, or a salesman’s job and say, “that’s where I want to be in a few years.”. In my lifetime, I have never had an interest in an office job, quite unironically, I’ve always looked to the arts as a potential job source. I love colors, lines, shapes; I find beauty in it all. Art is all around us in this world, and I plan to contribute by becoming an animator. That is my dream job because it’s the ultimate way for me to utilize my creativity. I’ve jumped from multiple dream jobs to the next, at first I considered being a professional “fine arts” artist, working with pencil and any other medium to create classical pieces of work. As times progressed, I’ve slowly realized that the

When I think of my career goals, I ask myself what I want to accomplish in life. I know that I love helping patients and families, and I want to continue to do that. I always am changing my mind on what I want to do after my BSN. I don’t know when or if I will get my masters or continue to work at the bedside for a while. I love what I do and what I do for other people and families. Working in the critical care unit feels like home. I get to do what I love.

On May 27, 2011, I sat in the crowd of thousands of people waiting to see the cheer from the football field. No, this wasn’t a professional football game, or even a college game. This was the graduation and commissioning of 1000 men and women from the United States Naval Academy. As the covers of all the former midshipmen went into the air, and the crowd went wild, I stood in awe, speechless. Even as an 11 year old boy, I knew that I wanted to be that young man standing on the ten yard line, in an immaculate white uniform, jumping up and down and hugging his buddy next to him. As I read stories and biographies of men like Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle, some of the most courageous men in the world, I realized my calling in life. I was to be an officer in the United States Navy.

In these four years of attending UWSP, I plan on majoring in Wildlife ecology and management. I was always a crazy animal lover when I was little, because I grew up on a farm. But when I went to my cabin or uncles land with my parents we always saw bears, porcupines, snakes, raccoons etc. I got to see these animals in their different habitats, which was awesome. I thought for a bit that what would be more awesome than just seeing these wildlife animals, would be to work hands on with them and their environment they live in. With this major I hope I am able to get into either a wildlife biology research facility or even an animal rehabilitation facility.

In the early stages of my life I wanted to become everything when I was older. It started at wanted to be a teacher, police officer and then a firefighter I was young and didn’t know what I wanted to be. Because I liked all these occupations I concluded that I just wanted a job that involved me helping others. As I grew older and based on my experiences I know that I want to be in the nursing field. I come to believe that I want to become a Nurse Practitioner and work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. My love for babies is unexplainable, and knowing the fact that I can have the chance to help babies become healthy touches my heart. Babies are being born at earlier than 24 weeks’ gestation and are living and growing naturally.

My Bachelor’s degree led me to an interesting place in my life in which I found myself sitting at a table with a vibrant and intelligent woman as she spilled her soul to me crying that she just did not know what to do. In that moment I felt the time freeze as I looked around and discovered that I was the person who she was looking to for answers. I was the person who was supposed to help her. I was a recent undergrad graduate with a major in Criminal Justice and a minor in Human Services but at that moment I was not sure that any of my classes had prepared me for this. This woman, my first client, was explaining to me that her two-year old great niece, who was living in her licensed foster home, was sexually acting out against herself. This woman wanted me to tell her how address these behaviors and how to help this sweet young girl but I had no answers. Of course, I was aware that sexual abuse happens but it was not a situation that I had encountered at this point in my career. Over the past nine months of learning this little girls’ story, I decided that I needed to do more. I decided that I needed to advocate for victims of sexual abuse and help educate children about the effects of sexual abuse and teach them that it is okay to come forward about what has happened to them.
