Personal Narrative: My Career Goals

My top three career choices are Physical Therapy, ceo/business manager, and a college baseball coach. I don’t want to have a boring career so I chose something that I want to do. Physical therapists, sometimes called PTs, help injured or ill people improve their movement and manage their pain. Therapists are often an important part of rehabilitation and treatment of patients with chronic conditions or injuries, and I want to help athletes be able to play the sport they love again with my help. Without a PT they wouldn’t be able to play again because without proper therapy they will never heal right. The only problem is they don’t make as much money as I want to. To become a PT you have to go through a DPT program and have a bachelor’s degree.

Throughout high school, I pretty much knew what I wanted to do after high school. I moderately did everything I needed to in high school through the years to know what classes I needed to take and what I need to know to do what I wanna do. In the beginning of my freshman year, I was still deciding what I want to be when I grow up and what would be interesting to take in high school so my dad and I was looking through the different classes they offer. While looking I saw they have biomedical science classes and I thought that was really interesting so I took it. In while being in that class, I payed attention, like it was really hard, until now I was still learning everything and it seems interesting. I took all the notes and did the labs they

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

I am interested in pursuing a career in nursing. A career that really interests me is a neonatal intensive care nurse. This is a type of nurse that works in a neonatal intensive care unit. These nurses often work with infants who were born prematurely, born with birth defects, or infants who are having critical complications during the first month after birth. Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit require constant monitoring and are often being treated for life threatening diseases. According to The National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) approximately 40,000 infants are born each year in the United States needing specialized NICU care. NICU nurses are always present when a baby is being delivered so they can provide immediate

Going into college, I would like to peruse many of my goals. I would like to start out getting my general studies in and then build up to become a Registered Nurse. After I accomplish becoming a Registered Nurse I would like to work on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. One reason I am striving to complete these goals is to be able to have a good future and hopefully a good job will come out of this. Neither of my parents went to college and I want to be able to accomplish that for myself.

Following my CMA, I plan to be the very best in my field and to follow all regulations, really just show my worth to whatever company that is willing to take me on. I want to take in all the knowledge that I will gain with the company and move it to where I truly want to be, in a hospital working with infants. After my youngest child starts elementary school, approximately three to four years from now, I plan to go back to college to advance my education. It has always been a dream of mine to specialize in Neonatal as a Registered Nurse. From there I plan to work my way up from “level 1: Caring for Healthy infants all the way to level 3: working in the NICU and monitoring seriously ill or premature infants around the clock.” (How to Become a Neonatal Nurse) From there I feel my goal in life will be fulfilled, though that does not mean that I am done with trying to continue to grow my career. I will continue gaining knowledge from other nurses and doctors who have been in the field longer then I have, as well as staying up to date on all regulations and codes. Who knows maybe even one day I’ll even become an Obstetrician or even a

Throughout high school, I continuously explored a wide variety of courses in an attempt to figure out what career path I may want to pursue. As senior year drew closer, the business field became more enticing. Furthermore, my aspirations were significantly impacted on the evening of September 14, 2016. I woke up that day and left for school as if it were any other day. After school, I drove to the softball field because we had a game and it just so happened to be Senior Night: the last home game. When it came time for my first at bat, I stepped up to the plate and hit a line drive between the first and second basemen, successfully making it to first base. The next player up to bat hit a double; I rounded second and sprinted for third. I clearly remember my coach kneeling on the ground to signal me to slide into third base. For some unknown reason, I hesitated and slid too late. I knew it was a bad slide, but I was focusing on whether or not I was safe. Then reality set in, I was safe, but I was not physically capable of standing up.

My current strengths according to the LifeStyle Management Health Risk Inventory, is that I am punctual in seeing a primary care provider, whom I have seen in the past two years, it was suggested that it is of vital importance to do so, as a PCP can provide helpful information about my health and how I can improve any health problems I may have. Another strength of mine is that I get the flu shot on a regular basis, it is important to do so, as the flu virus does not spread to those who I am around and protects me from the virus. According to the LifeStyle Management Health Risk Inventory, my BMI is 21.03, which puts me in the healthy weight bracket, maintaining my weight in a healthy range will lower my risk for heart disease, cancer and other

I have accomplished lots of things in my lifetime. I have accomplished getting a job and getting my license to go to that job. I have accomplished working two jobs one is being a machinist and a referee.

Ask someone, and chances are, they’ll argue that health comes first. Doctors say it, parents repeat it, media promotes it, but in actuality, not many of those who suggest making health a priority can truly say that they’ve never jeopardized their health, whether that be through something as small as skimping on sleep or as big as stressing themselves out, for their job. While some might not consider it one, maintaining a certain BMI is another health benefit that goes neglected, especially in modeling, a career that carries the stigma of only consisting of starving girls who need to “eat a burger”. Luckily, I never had to worry about my weight mainly because I danced 22 hours a week, something I could maintain in middle school only because I was homeschooled. Once I started high school, however, I found it hard to stick to this rigorous schedule, so it wasn’t long

I think that the most important aspect that Peters stresses is image building. My end state goal is to become a College Professor. So surrounding myself around like minded people as well as building a relationship with the heads of the department would aid in building a reputation that can be called upon come the time I can make the transition toward my end state goal. As we see in the news almost on a daily basis gossip in politics has profoundly negative effects. Any thing that could be construed in a negative manner will look poorly upon you. Best practice is to stick to the known facts and stay professional. Attitude is everything and maintaining a "cheerful disposition" works two fold as one setting yourself up to be more positive and

I always appreciate learning about my instructors. I see myself as having a diverse career. It combines academics and practical experiences. I earned a Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice. I worked in Juvenile Court, and then returned to graduate school. I was a graduate research assistant for the Center for Applied Urban Research, and then for the College of Public Affairs I was a graduate teaching assistant. While research the privacy rights of prisoners and the emerging application of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, I recognized I wanted to change career paths.

I am returning to college in pursuit of attaining my BSN is to fulfill a personal and professional goal. Baccalaureate preparation is an important requisite for advancement in the nursing profession. Career advancement, role changes, job security and my love of learning are the primary motivators to complete my BSN degree. The changing healthcare system is demanding that nurses develop advanced critical thinking skills, broaden knowledge of research, and improve communication skills to become assertive patient advocates and nursing leaders. The RN-BSN coursework will influence my professional development and prepare me for a wider scope of practice, as well as improve comprehension of the political, social, and economic factors that influence

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
