Personal Statement: My Primary Career Goals

My primary career goal is to become a physician practicing evidence-based medicine in making treatment decisions with patients. This, combined with my longstanding passion for genetics, prompted my MS application with hopes of developing an understanding for genetics, which I believe will maintain relevance and importance in the medical field throughout my lifetime. Within an understanding of research contributing to evidence-based medicine, in contrast to current practice-based research, I would especially like to investigate the role of epigenetics in diseased states.

On a personal level I would like to get better at basketball as well as baseball. In three years i see myself being a little bit more involved in technology and graphic design. Sooner or later like every kid I will turn 18 wich mean time for a job i'm going to go into it strong I think i am going to work at Old Navy. I hopefully will be able to stay in this job as long as possible to make as much money as I can. These goals are important to me because it will make me feel good as a person. It is a good start as a teen to make money. School has prepared me because I will pick the right classes to assist me in my career.

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.

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.

Because of the different applications that the computers can perform, I was very interested in computers, especially the idea of coding. I had zero knowledge of coding, but there is nothing that stopped me from learning how programs were created. It is intriguing because I saw many people on the news everyday able to create a new program that can advance the technology that humans currently have. I want to be someone who is able to create those programs to help the people improve their lives.

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,

Ever since I was a little kid, I've been addicted to computers. I started to find out computers were my future when I was the only kid who liked a required typing class freshmen year. Whether it’s designing a website or web development, learning about computers is really important to me for my next step after high school.

My current career goals include working in the field of microbiology. Although, I am at a crossroads regarding my path of study: becoming a pathologist (medical doctor) or gaining a Masters as a microbiologist. I am highly interested in conducting research for the CDC or other firms in studying viruses and other pathogens and developing vaccines or cures. My interest for pathogens started as a child when I would watch countless zombie films. I later discovered I was more interested in the disease and the idea of a pandemic than the actual zombie thriller. In high school I enrolled in science classes and researched more about pathogens and occupations involving microorganisms and determined that I would pursue a career in microbiology. My interest

Introduction, The field of public health, is emerging with growth and opportunities. Now more than ever is an exciting time to join this thriving career path and become part of bettering the community and environment. Through strengthening collaborations, conducting research, or analyzing data, public health graduates can find employment in the public or private sector, within nonprofit organizations, or in local, state, and federal health departments. Also, clinicians can enhance their skills with a community-based perspective.

My long-term professional goal is to become a graduate/ medical school instructor. I cannot think of another profession that would be as rewarding as helping students receive a higher education. Anatomy has always been an interest of mine. I fell in love with anatomy my sophomore year of high school. Every year Mrs. Kamm took three sophomores into her Anatomy class that was only supposed to be open to juniors. She told us that usually out of the three sophomores one receives an A, a B, and a C. I knew I did not want to be the C student. I worked persistently throughout her class and ended up being the A student. That was the first time I felt my hard work pay off. I knew I deserved that grade because I put so much time and work into the class.

College has been mentioned since as far back as I can remember. My mother has made it her mission to show my brothers, sisters, and I that with an education opportunities are endless. I will be the first to graduate high school in my family and plan to attend college in the Fall of 2017. I want to set the example for my family and come back and help future college students pursue their career. Attending college is something that is very important to me because I feel it is an opportunity to learn new things, expand my knowledge, meet new friends from diverse backgrounds, and learn about other people and their cultures while learning new things about myself. My short term goal is to graduate high school and leave a mark. I have accomplished one of those goals already with wrestling I made

My Primary goal is to succeed and advance in my education. I want to have my own Health business . I must first have knowledge and the education to educate people. I am willing to take the sacrifice and the commitments to go to a higher education to make my goals succeed. It takes self-discipline. I am looking beyond the doubts and creating my future. I don't want to look back and have regrets for not advancing in education. When someone look at me, I want them to see a girl who takes her work serious and to the next level.

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. I want to also master the skills that it takes to be a great doctor. 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
