Personal Statement: The Four Career Choices

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.

I need to do the best of my abilities academically in school to earn a scholarship to afford college without taking the risk of student loans. I have already started my community service and at the moment I have a GPA of 4.1600 (weighted) and 4.0 (not weighted). I constructed the plan to be a Neurosurgeon at middle school and have done high school classes at that time. Now all I need to do is sustain that GPA high. To do that I must take AP and honor classes in school and in the summer, AP classes online and pass them. I must prevent myself from getting tangled up in the web of distractions so that I may swiftly walk the trail to success with fewer hurdles to overcome on the way. Once I am able to maintain my GPA to an abundant amount, I can purposefully go forward to taking clubs or sports which would attract more attention to colleges. I have also been going to Khan Academy to prepare for SATs and by the end of my high school year; hopefully I have acquired a scholarship which would increase the chances of me being a Neurosurgeon. Although, in four years my plans can change, but I can easily adapt to the changes because all that could change would be the major or career I would like to partake

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.

After a very short four years of high school where my college studies had also began, I find myself today attending Wenatchee Valley College. Here in Wenatchee I 'm continuing my college career to obtain my associates in arts and science degree in which will receive in the spring of 2016. Prior to choosing courses at WVC, I kept in mind the pre-med major I have planned to take up, and in result I have taken up a biology sequence; major cells, major plants, and the final series, which I plan to take in the spring, major animals. The remainder of my classes consisted course within the humanities, social sciences and the math departments. Between all the late hours I found myself staying up to study and managing a full time job, I would consider my performance a well-rounded decent one. As expectations for prominent academic achievement were imbedded in me from my family and school faculty in high school,

Over the past ten years I have had the opportunity to connect with many people on a professional level when either I or my audience have joined the location I was working in at the time. Typically, when trying to connect I like to share a story where I take them though my career path as well as share a little about my personal life. This story comes to mind when I think about what drives my desire to go back to school and earn a bachelors degree. It really comes down to my family and a clear career direction that will allow me to spend more time with my family. I am now a husband and father of three children who are now involved in various extracurricular actives. My career path has been anything but standard. This has provided we with varying experiences which has resulted in valuable skill sets, however they are not

My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families

I did not choose student option just for a few credits, I choose it for a new learning perspective. I want to experience how guidance counselors handle the paperwork and how a job in the counseling industry would work. I was always curious about how a counseling job would work. For example, everyday I see school advisors just talk to students and help them through tough issues and also minor school issues like scheduling and the students never get to see how the counselors get it put into Genesis. That really interest me because I love to learn why certain things go the way they go and how would they even get there. I want to learn and understand what a school counselor would have to go through daily.

“You are such a storyteller” my mom would tell me as a little girl, but little did we know storytelling would become my career path.

For many young boys and girls, the introduction to sports is often a life changing event. For me, it has been an indelible mark of endearment that has left me captivated since my earliest memory. While I would later go on to explore other passions such as business, law, and politics, it would be the synthesis of these affections that drives my career direction and goals. In any of life’s endeavors, inspiration and guidance is derived from 3 words: Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. While these three words on their own are only verbs, when placed together they are tied to every aspect of life, sport, business, and success. The words were stressed by my father, who learned their importance himself as a Sergeant the Marine Corps. Despite the immense

I always wanted to be a professional skateboarder. But the truth is, like any professional sport not everyone makes it, and I don't think I'm going to make it. So therefore I have to focus on my future by getting a good job. That doesn't mean I'm giving up on my dream though. In order to do that I need to go to school further. I don't want to work long hours for little pay when I have the opportunity to go to school and get a better career. That is why I have to continue my education and I am willing to do what it takes.

Looking upon all your other applicants, you will notice something different, I am not your typical high schooler. I started taking college courses at Yuba Community College the summer after my eighth grade year and have been attending ever since. During my freshman year at Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts, I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA while also taking three college courses. My days would consist of 8 hours at my high school and 1-2 hours of college lectures right after that. My time at home only consisted of my regular needs, completing assignments and studying. Taking these college courses not only helped me get a head start in my undergraduate studies, but are also helping me in graduating early from high school. It is set

I have a talent that I am proud of that will help me get through High School and will potentially help me for my future in college and after that. The talent that I have is my skill at solving logical problems and finding tricky solutions. I believe that this is an important talent is because it helps me do better at math than some people because it allows me to think about ways I can solve problems easier. I believe that this will help me because I will be able to perform better in math allowing me to major in Mathematics so I can become a math teacher. This also allows me to perform well in Engineering because math is one of the most important tools that you will need in order to be a good engineer. Due to my impressive skills and being able

Picking a career is a tough decision for a teenager and that is very common. It is what you will likely do for the rest of your life so the decision is scary for most. My career choice, on the other hand, was easy. I have always enjoyed math and seeing things come together through my ideas and creativity, so engineering was a perfect fit.

I volunteered for more than 60 hours for Substation33 as a 3D Printing Engineer and Youth Engagement assistant. This non-profit organization is recycling electronic waste and everyone is welcome here who wants to work, and obtain admired work experience. My role was to help to fulfill the company’s goal and build fifteen 3D printers –partly from recycled materials- by establishing an assembly line for this reason. My work -along with other university student’s- had an extensive positive impact on this project, as by the end of this semester the printers are about ready. Thanks for my earlier experience in manufacturing, I had an impact on my team mates as well, as I could teach them practical skills, such as how to solder effectively and nicely. The organization’s benefited from our work, as the printers will be donated to schools with an exclusive purpose: to engage children in learning and recycling in an interesting way.
