Pursuing A Health Career

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Throughout my life I have been asked this complicated question over and over. How can anyone decide what she wants to do for the rest of her life after high school? Previous to me entering high school, I was convinced I would be entering the criminal justice field. I had everything planned out, but things usually do not turned out as planned. It wasn't until I was entering my Senior year of high school did I realize I couldn't be more wrong with what I wanted to accomplish with the rest of my life. After learning more about myself and my interests did I change my plan to studying business throughout my upcoming college years.

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. There are a lot of health care professionals what have jobs that are extremely important. I have very high respect for anyone in the medical field, by becoming a doctor I would leave this world a better place.

Choosing a career is a big decision for every teenager and especially when the fields have become competent. Everyone wants to have a career that can save them from lifetime challenges. Health care is the solution. There are a variety of positions available for all education levels and experience, as well a number of hospitals are expected to open over the next years. The High School students should choose a career in Healthcare, signifying that they can save their future from any downfall, as well other human beings lives for better.

I believe I would be a wonderful addition to the Early Introduction to Health Careers Program because I am very interested in learning more about the medical field and having a hands on experience. I plan on attending the University of Michigan in the fall of 2019 and majoring in biochemistry. I would like to college at the University of Michigan because I am an aspiring cardiothoracic surgeon and their medical school was ranked number four in the US by U.S. News for primary care. The Early Introduction to Health Careers Program will be an amazing experience for me and will help me to gain more knowledge about the profession I am interested in.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child, we have all been asked this question; and as unrealistic children, we all had dreams of being a superhero, princess, cowboy, or astronaut. Later on in life, as time went by, and as we became more knowledgeable, our answers became more serious. Some of us wanted to be teachers, business owners, or a veterinarian. However, I have always wanted to be a doctor, but not just any doctor. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a pediatrician. Now, half way through my junior year in high school, I have started to question the details of this career, and all the hard work it takes to become a part of the medical field.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” I can not recall the numbers of times I have been asked this question. The question is phrased in various ways:

Sneaking up on me, the end of my senior year is starting appearing, the most frequent question I get asked is,” What are you going to do after high school?” That question for me isn't a hard one--in fact, it is rather easy. At the age of 10, I knew I wanted to become some type of teacher, or someone in the medical field, I didn't know what exactly. At the age of 15 I was in an accident that helped me realize what I wanted to become.

As a child, I always wanted to be a doctor and as I got older that changed. I then wanted to major

A lot of people ask what you want to be when you grow up. I know that question is the most important decision you will make in your life. My parents say to stay in school and try to get good grades so you can get into a good college because I want to be a vet technician. The quote that I tend to follow is “If your dreams aren’t big enough, your achievements won’t be a big impact on your life.” -Abdul Kreen

Though I originally started out in a different kind of health care field, I quickly realized that was not where I wanted to be. Having started out in Medical Technology, I knew by the end of my first semester that this was not for me. I looked into a few different majors such as nursing before coming to the conclusion that I should be on the business end and not the science end. I knew that I definitely still wanted to be involved in health care, so I decided to change my major to Health Administration. After the first semester of classes in the Health Administration program, I knew it was the right fit. I loved, and still love that I was able to be on the business end yet still be a part of something health related.

When a teacher or a relative asks me what I want to do when I get older I never second guess myself on the answer. I always wanted to become a physical therapist. The most important part is to help others and by helping i know that i'm succeeding in my career. This career really draws my attention because a physical therapist are very helpful and determined on how the patient is handling different techniques.

I am interested in the program because I want to understand cultural traditions and international health issues. My goal is to become a Health Administrator where I can advance our country by collaborating with foreign countries to study about their health issues. I want to share what I learn around the world and assist people who are in need. In fact, America has given people an opportunity to survive compared to people in foreign countries. We have some of the most advanced medical technologies and I want to search for a way to give people in foreign countries the same opportunities. During this process, I hope to work at different hospitals overseas where I can present my ideas on how to cooperate with America’s hospitals. Furthermore, I

Planning can be defined as, preparing a series of action steps that lead to a specific goal. A plan is a road map, which allows you track how far you have come and what is left to reach your desired destination. Although planning anything in life can often be difficult due to our inability to control everything that happens to us, possessing a well-thought out plan is essential to effective decision making. When contemplating what I want to accomplish in the next three years, I was surprised to realize that I had already taken the first steps in obtaining my desired goals. I first came back to school for the simple fact that I was tired of dead-end jobs, and I understood that if I wanted a better career I needed to acquire my degree. I didn’t want to waste my time gaining a degree that wasn’t going to be applicable in the real world.

Everyone has an idea of what career they wish to pursue in and each one of those careers carry’s a philosophy or responsibility of their own. The career the I am pursuing is a career in medicine. I would like to become a doctor and make an impact in the healthcare field. The philosophy that I believe a doctor should follow is “treat others in the way you would like to be treated if you were to end up in the same situation.” This is a good philosophy because it will put the doctor in the mindset of the patient so that he or she will feel the sympathy that the patient wished to receive. If I was a patient I would want the doctor to return me better than I came in. I want the doctor to make sure that it is a priority for him or her to heal me

What would I want to be when I grow up? I want to be a Phlebotomist. I want to be a Phlebotomist because: I will be making good money, I will get to help people, and I get to work with blood. Being a Phlebotomist is my dream job.
