My motivation for pursuing a degree is to be able to continue my education and finish at the collegiate level. The degree that I am pursuing will help me achieve my long-term professional and personal goals by giving me an advantage in regards to job hunting and networking. It will open doors for me based on the extensive curriculum and challenges I would have faced to attain my degree.

This long term goal will be achieved by accomplishing various short term objectives such as achieving positive attendance/participation in each course while earning at least 90% on all my assignments.

I was attempting to control all the angles of my life alone instead of allowing the Lord to help me. In the midst of my struggle for control I was unsure of my own strengths, passions, and abilities. Since that time I have been working in the human services field as the assistant director of a local adolescent girls group home. Working with at risk

Choosing a career in medicine is my first career choice, and in many ways it is the only career choice I want. From professional athletes that we see on television, to the educators that have taught me and many others through the years, they all have committed themselves to extensive study. They have practiced countless of hours to master their individual skill set for their profession. I see myself following in the same footsteps, but as a pediatrician.

It may not be simple and the outcome may not be near, but with extensive studying and practice I want to achieve and master the set of skills of pediatric diagnosis and eventually improve the medical process. This is my
