Personal Statement : My Career Goals

My short term career goals are: Graduate with the Associate of Science in nursing from Motlow in May 2018.

When we were little we were all asked the infamous question of, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Back in elementary school the most popular answers were teacher, fireman, and of course a superhero. As college students we are expected to know what we actually want to be, now that we are paying for courses that will give us the knowledge to excel in the field of our choosing. Some of us still want to be a teacher like we did back in the third grade but the majority of us have moved on. Personally, I want to be a Design Psychologist and to explain myself I am going to describe my interests, experiences and my personality to allow others to understand why I picked this career path.

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.

“Sport is the force that unites and empowers us to be better, no matter how you look, what you believe or what language you speak.” These words of Olympian Simone Biles illustrate my life-long passion for sports and the science behind it. I had been an athlete all my life and planned on continuing my track and field career at the collegiate level before a critical injury switched my focus from athletics to academics. When I began my studies at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, I knew my future would involve helping athletes grow to their fullest potential in strength, athleticism, and overall health. Having majored in Health Science with a focus in Health and Wellness Promotion and a minor in Nutrition, I would now like to concentrate on Strength and Conditioning.

Life is a continual learning process, which requires a strong method to develop better ways of apprenticeship. Personally, being able to obtain a higher education gives me an opportunity to be better in many ways. Everyone should have any personal goals in life in order to survive, prosper and succeed in every journey that life gives. As for me, being a University of Phoenix student, I hope to achieve all of my goals on which I have been trying to pursue and obtain through the years. They are goals that I believe I need to have to be a successful member of the society, and through attending the university I also hope to gain a more positive image of myself, build my personal growth, along with achieving

My name is Elana Sanguigni, and I am a sophomore student at Pine-Richland Senior High School in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. My interest in the Health Career Academy is immense, and I exhibit a profound interest in a future career in the health industry. The Health Career Academy, would provide enlightening educating opportunities to gain valuable knowledge, pertaining to various health careers. Though I have conducted some research and analyzed various health career fields, I truly aspire to explore and learn more in order to academically prepare for a future in the health industry. My academic love for Biology, Chemistry and all science courses, in addition to my love and care for people have led me to inquire a path of future health careers to utilize my desire to help people.

What are your specific career goals for the future? How does this scholarship fit into your plans to achieve these goals?

Since childhood, I have tried my best to find something in which I excelled, a path in life that I could turn into a career choice. However, it had not been as simple as I thought for as I developed, matured and refined my academic skills, my passions changed as I gained a love for the sciences. Initially, I wanted to explore a career in detective work, which I pursued for two years. Then at age fifteen, I had my heart set on pursuing law, primarily because I wanted to help people, especially those who had been faced with injustice. However, as I enrolled and completed more advanced and challenging Science classes, I began to develop a passion for pursuing a career in science and its related field. The constant that remained true, though, is that in every career path I desired, I knew that I wanted to help others.

Growing up in rural Oklahoma, I have been involved in mission trips, Oklahoma’s Project under 21 program, Crossfit, and local community child care centers. Being involved in my community, I have been able to maintain professional relationships by communicating effectively with compassion and patience. This enabled me to stress the importance of daily dietary and hygiene needs and its impact on overall general health. These experiences have instilled a passion in me, which ultimately led me to pursue a career in the dental field. I learned more about the field soon after working with those community child care centers. I researched dental hygiene as a potential career by exploring articles on the internet,

Life is full of opportunities, so my motto is "Why not chase them and be the best you can be". Motivational and creative are two words that describe me. I will graduate next year with an Associate in Applied Science and then plan to get a cosmetology license at Paul Mitchell in Columbia, South Carolina. I grew up in a small, quiet community in Hopkins, South Carolina. It is safe to say, I have a peaceful soul for my age. My major goal is to get a two-year degree in Health Information Management and use the degree to save lives in the healthcare through my

I want to improve my current piano playing skills by advancing at least two levels and be confident in playing in front of a large audience.

I strongly believe that everyone should have access to a high quality education and to have the opportunity to academically develop to their full potential. With each decade we enter a new era of globalization, and our classrooms are becoming increasingly diverse. My main goal as an educator is to provide students from all cultural and linguistic backgrounds with tools to support their intellectual, social, cultural, and emotional development.

Describe your educational career and life goals. Explain your plan for achieving these goals. Include your degree/major, why you selected it, and how this degree/major will help you achieve your goals.

"ALEX, YOU GOT TO START GOING, GO GET EM, GO GET EM." I yell at my oldest son as he hits the last quarter mile of his cross country meet. I love watching and cheering all my kids on as they participate in all kinds of sports and physical activities. Sports are the love of my life. I live for participating and watching my kids play. No imagine that you have a physical disability and you are unable to participate in sports. You are unable to have normal physical activity. This is the life of my other "kids". This is the life of my students. My career goal is to provide sports and physical education to disabled students.

Participation in this program will support me and my goals to be the first person in my family to receive higher than a bachelor’s degree. I plan to receive my Ph.D. in abnormal child psychology, and I am currently in early education and care at my high school as my career path. I truly believe that I connect on a personal level with children and my interest in mental illnesses and why they occur fits into that career description perfectly. I would like to leave Delaware and experience the world, starting with where I attend college. Louisiana State University, Spellman University, or Texas A&M are my top 3 colleges that I would love to attend and pursue my career goals. I aspire to be very successful in everything that I have planned to do
