Personal Narrative Rough Draft : Choosing A Career Is Not An Easy Task

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.

Choosing my career, that was not entirely easy. Back in Elementary School, I had a couple of teachers that were very good to me. They are who began to make my mind think and wonder about if this job would make a good career for me. It was not only my Elementary School teachers who helped convince me. There were some middle school teachers and a couple high school teachers who persuaded me. These teachers taught me with passion in their hearts. There was nothing but patience and love in their teaching. They taught me the different ways you can teach and get the lesson across to your students. I have kept their ways of teaching in mind for the days when it is time to work towards my degree. Watching my different teachers over the years have given me different reasons to want this career.

In 2005 I decided to call it quits. I retired from the military to only find myself back in the same shop I was leading rebuilding TF39 engines as a contractor. I did this for two years until I decided to pick up the family and move to Oklahoma City to work on the B-1 F101-GE engine at Tinker AFB. Soon after, the contract died and I had to find a new job. I got picked up as a civil service employee in the same shop. I then got promoted into the F117 Heavy Maintenance Center rebuilding engines for the C17. This was a new workload and we had to set up the shop. I’m not kidding about this, we had to order, build the tooling and set up the lean cells before we even started production.

I have come across many situation where I have had to compromise to resolve my issues. I am a cadet major in the United High School AFJROTC and was placed in a leadership position as the chief of staff. That means I help lead about 200 cadets toward common goal that is to teach them life skill that will produce better citizens. I work alongside the Group Commander and Deputy who also assist in running the corps. Our instructor often gives us many tasks to better our communication and leadership skills. Many of these tasks require us to work together as a team, but of course working together as a team doesn’t always come easy. One of the biggest challenges that I have come across so far was preparing for awards night. Awards night is a graduation for all the cadets where they receive ribbons to account for all their accomplishments

I wrote this inspirational and persuasive book to stimulate all college bound student’s career decisions. A stimulated choice means that your college aspiration is prayerfully pumped-up with two of God’s counsels: spiritual enrichment and spiritual empowerment. These two activators serve to remind new college students to put God as their first priority.

When I first started school, I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I wanted to work with kids but I just didn’t know what. After taking so many education classes I started to believe I wanted to work as a teacher’s assistant. But finally, after this semester I would like to continue to become a teacher. I have learned so much and have can’t wait to learn more as I continue with more school. I have a passion of helping children, seeing them learn and having fun truly makes me

Enrolling into college was a huge decision in my life, because of the fact I was a first generation student. As the first to attend college in my family, I was sending a message that I am competent enough to accomplish my goals. The goal that I had my heart set on was to become a nurse. I have already taken a step by enrolling into Mount Carmel College of Nursing. Mount Carmel College of Nursing is a program that allows you to earn your bachelors in nursing. I transferred to Mount Carmel from Columbus State Community College. While in Columbus State, I remember vividly thinking about how the career I choose will impact me lifelong. So it seemed reasonable to be a nurse, and help those in need. In helping my patients, I am also helping my community. Becoming a nurse will help me take care of patients during important moments in their life, and to make sure they receive quality care.

My survey responses revealed that my two career categories are Social and Conventional. I agree with the Social category. I am currently in a Certified Nursing Assistant class and I have been accepted into numerous nursing schools in Indiana. The Social category fits me best because I enjoy working with other people, teaching others about a specific topic, and caring for others. I do not agree with the Conventional category that was assigned to me. I am not one to enjoy strictly math on a daily basis, and I would belittle myself to the fullest extent if I had a career that did not require a degree.

My entire life I have always worked my hardest to get to where I am today. As a child, I had the dream of being a nurse or a detective, and I as I started getting older I became aware that the two job areas are very different and competitive. I believe my determination has been a key quality that has let me enrich my education and move forward with the health and criminal justice fields. I have been able to succeed in classes, as well as my employment opportunities because when I set my mind to something, there is nothing stopping me, and I am 100% determined to finish. Being hard working has also been something I’ve done throughout my life, I was always been told that things don’t just happen and that I have to make things happen. The ability

There was one day I was supervising everyone and I decided to play music. I love to sing, so that is mostly what I was known for in that class. I played Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars for one of the kids. One of the teachers, Donna, said to me that I would make a fantastic Special Education teacher. That one comment really made me think about my future. That was the moment that I decided that I wanted to be a teacher.

I did the activity that involved placing descriptors around my name. So I have my name, Meghan, in the Center. The descriptors around my name are: Female, White, College Graduate, Atheist, Lesbian, Sister, and Athlete.

Growing up, I was just like the average child, one week I would say I wanted to be a doctor and the next I would say I wanted to be lawyer and then two days later, I would say I wanted to be an astronaut. All of this changed when I was in the sixth grade. I watched the movie "Harriet The Spy" for the first time and I was so intrigued. I remember saying,"This girl is pretending and she looks like she's having so much fun." From then on, I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't tell anyone. I thought people would make fun of me or say I wasn't good enough. This was a constant trepidation, so when people asked me what I wanted to be when I "grow up", I would say,"I don't know", and quickly change the subject. This went on for years, I would lie and say I didn't know what I wanted to be, when that was the farthest from the truth. I knew I wanted to be an actress. I stopped watching tv for entertainment and started watching so I could observe the actors. I would watch their movements and facial expressions, and I would even write down what they were saying and redo the scene how I thought it should be done.

“Do you know what you want to do when you graduate high school?” My dad asked, “No” I replied, “well it’s about time you start thinking about a career”. I was asked this when I was 13, I had no idea, how am I supposed to know exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life at just 13 years old? How does anyone know exactly what they want to be? This question stumped me for several years, I had absolutely no idea, and it wasn’t until 3 years later that finally got an idea. I discovered it one day while listening to my favorite band, I wanted to make music, I wanted to watch the crowd go ballistic while I sang on stage, I wanted to mean something. It occurred to me that I was already decent singer, I just need practice, and a band, and a

Being a teacher wasn't the first thing on my career list. In fact, I wanted to be a lawyer throughout grade school and then into my freshman year of high school. Once I began my high school career, I began to realize that being a lawyer wasn't for me. I wanted to work directly with teenagers because I know how hard it is to grow up in this society. I started to investigate and considered being a teacher,

My education and career goals are to get an early childhood education degree from the University of Alaska, receive my teaching license, and hopefully find a job with Head Start or perhaps one of the public schools in Anchorage. I hope to achieve this within four years. I am returning to college after a 35 year break in which I had an acting career, got married, had two daughters and taught preschool classes in the Minneapolis park system for 13 years. My goals in teaching are to engage children in learning with scientifically based curriculum and use my talents and experience in music, creative drama and the arts to enhance my lesson plans. I have found that young children respond energetically and enthusiastically when lessons walk hand in
