Professional Career Goal

In middle school, I thought I would go into architecture since I like drawing and wanted to help my parents remodel my childhood home. But after my freshman year of high school, I realized that I really didn't want to go into that field. So, when I took one of the personality quizzes that was required for graduation and it suggested that I should look into fields like psychology or library science. From there, I started to look back at my childhood and I realize that I would prefer a job in some kind counseling because I would often try to be the mediator in arguments since I listened to both sides and I would often imagine myself explaining why a person may be feeling this way and how they can improve themselves. I also grew up around a lot

In high school, I could never have imagined I would be pursuing a career as a school counselor. My grandmother and mother both held jobs in the education field and I had always envisioned myself as a lawyer or professor. I did not want to fall into, what I at the time considered, the stereotype of the female teacher. I wished to go into a traditionally male dominated field and live out my inner feminist dreams of shattering the glass ceiling. However, more importantly, I harbored a deep desire to help others. One of the reasons for this is that my brother is autistic and growing up, I saw how he struggled in school and in interacting with his peers. Originally, I wanted to become a disability advocate lawyer. In college, I struggled

I am intrested in gaining my Masters (MS) in Psychology to extend my knowledge within this field and make an impact in society. Graduate school will llow me to understand the human mind and how they all function individually. I aim to teach Psychology and become a Academic advisor at a collegiate level. While choosing a path during my undergraduate studies, I knew that anything I decided to do would make a impact in society and that has become my passion. While taking a few Psychology classes during my undergraduate studies, I was very intrigued with my class Social Psychology as it seemed to involve both Sociology being my major and Psychology. I m intrested in helping the community

Professional Goals: I still have a little time left to figure out what grade it is that I want to teach. I’m honestly lost in this because I most enjoy working with college level student, but I absolutely love elementary level children as well. Over the past few years, I have worked here at Lone Star College under a few different titles. I was offered a job while taking a 1302 English class. The next semester, I began to work in developmental classes. I have supported several different English class along with some Educt classes as well. It has been my job to tailor the information that the professor has covered to meet the needs of my students, and I’ve become quite good at this. I am currently a Level III Master English tutor, and the Peer

When you are younger many times you will have someone ask you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” And ever since I was a little girl I would answer, “Whatever I do I want it to help the world.” As I got older, it was evident to me that I wanted to become a pediatric oncology nurse. When I tell people this they have a certain expression on their face. They immediately begin to talk about how hard it will be to see young children go through such trialing events so early in their life. However, I decide to be more optimistic. Although I know that there will be times when I mourn over the loss of a child, I also see the light in the day where the child rings the bell declaring that they are cancer free. My goal as I

My career goal is to receive my doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy. I would like to work with geriatric population because they are more vulnerable to disabilities from chronic illness that results in them being put into nursing facilities. I want to specialize my education on physical disabilities. I have experience working with the geriatric patients who are physically disabled and I hope to help them keep their independence. My goal is to help geriatric patients gain valuable skills in order to keep their independence and have the ability to live at home. As an occupational therapist, I will help patients do things they want to do through therapeutic methods of everyday living. I would teach them new ways of doing daily actives after suffering from a disability. For example, a patient who had a stroke, I would reteach this individual how to hold items, how to button shirts, and so on. I would prefer to work at patients’ home or in a clinic setting; however, I am open to working wherever my skills would be needed. Since I want to work in the patients’ home, my main goal is to evaluate and change their home, so it is easier for them to stay independent. I have an interest in working with patients who have developmental delays; however, I need to observe an OT specialized in that field to know for certain if that is something I would like to specialize in.

My professional goal is to obtain my master degree in Human Resource Management and to land a position as a Human Resource Manager with a prestigious company. My overall job interest in the field of Human Resource Management is the medical environment, a cell phone company, or a manufacturing company. My studies here at Walden University will prepare me for the overall field of Human Resource by allowing me to examine the overall work environment of this particular field. I would also be preparing to make HR decisions and examine the needs of all employees. I am confident that Walden University will prepare me to become a competent Human Resource Manger.

I am currently working on earning APE in mechanical engineering at SLCC. After earning an APE, I will transfer to the University of Utah to earn B.S. in mechanical engineering. Afterward, I will work on getting an MBA. I want to be a licensed mechanical engineer in every state, and I will work day and night to have a good reputation and make my name known so I can start my own engineering firm one day. I am pursuing this path because I want to gain the practical experience that I can use in pursuing my ultimate career goal, which is earning Ph.D. to teach people and do research. I want to help, support, and prepare students to do better in their careers. Ever since I was a kid, I was the child who wanted to know more, the child that keeps asking

For the past five years I have been an elementary school teacher, and this experience has helped me to identify where my career goals will lead. My interest in the Doctor of Education Organizational Change and Leadership program is to become a staff educator. I would like to guide teachers how to use data to drive their instruction in the classroom.

My ultimate career goal is to obtain a position as a health care executive or director in a respectable health care facility. However, to achieve my objective, I must complete my master’s degree in business administration. Although, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015), states that such a position requires a bachelor’s degree and less than five years of experience for an entry level position, which I have, I would like to further my education and increase my changes of obtaining and securing the position.

My professional goal is to become a psychiatrist while contributing to brain related research because I believe the brain is one of the most powerful things on earth but our understanding of it is fairly limited. However, in order to reach my professional goals I need to reach my academic goals.

Both my personal and professional goals animate me and motivate me to pursue and finish my degree. The personal and professional are fundamentally interconnected. Personally I aim to live a life filled with a sense of meaning, and growth. These terms are purposefully broad in nature so that I have space to specify how they manifest themselves in a variety of ways. These broad personal aims become more tangible, and are matched, through more exact professional goals. Currently, I am working with a start-up charter school project serving the needs of high-school dropouts. This aligns with my sense of meaning because service to others, particularly through education, is valuable to me. Within the next five years I would like to found my own social entrepreneurship project. I do not see a world in which accomplishing this, and my broader aims, is

Today, I am taking a vital step in the pursuit of a significant professional goal by submitting an application to the Graduate School at the University of Montana. I want to earn an Educational Doctorate in Educational Leadership. As a Montana educational leader since 1991, I have been privileged to serve as an elementary principal, middle school principal, curriculum director, a superintendent and an assistant superintendent. Serving in these leadership roles were met professional goals that I set for myself and have shaped who I am as a leader today. I feel blessed to have worked in five school districts in Western Montana – Class AA, A, B, and C, in part due to the quality colleagues I have worked with in our state. Prior to earning my Master of Education Degree in Educational Administration, I taught grades seven, three and six. Personally, I have always set new goals in my life and pursued worthy goals. Once I achieve one, I pursue another. I firmly believe that earning a doctorate will be a capstone experience for my life – personally and professionally.

When I was little, I was always encouraged to run away from adversity. On the whim of my single mom, I have moved from place to place on pocket change and borrowed money. I have been raised a transient: shifting three hundred miles or three thousand, I have experienced poverty in states across the nation. I have lived with rats in Ohio; I have slept on couches in California; I have had to sacrifice groceries for rent in North Carolina and rent for my mom's breast cancer bills in Georgia. Being homeless for several months of my freshman year of high school, I lived in shabby motels. I feared for my life as a man shattered a window and attacked a woman in the motel room adjoining mine. I ate only what a mini-fridge would hold and wore only what a suitcase could

I am a born leader. Even when I am not looking for leadership opportunities they always seem to fall into my lap. My life has been one that is based on service to others, so I regularly volunteer for committees and extend myself to help others. It is important to me to be the best teacher I can, I regularly attend professional development sessions and implement my new learning in the classroom. However, upon starting the Teacher Leadership Master’s program at Lamar University, I was just beginning my career as a teacher leader. I had not had many opportunities to show leadership outside of my grade-level team. During team planning meetings, I normally directed the discussions. My coworkers looked to me for guidance and interpretation of the curriculum. I regularly made suggestions about teaching strategies. Additionally, I was a member of various campus committees including the Campus Performance Objective Committee (CPOC) where worked together with campus administrators and community partners to develop the Campus Improvement Plan. However, I did not view these tasks as leadership opportunities.
