deal more than I need to learn before I can achieve my dream of building a business in the Asia

Ever since I went to the hospital in fourth grade, I knew I wanted to have a career in the medical field. After highschool, I plan to go to college and then pursue my job in the healthcare world. My goal is to be successful doing the job that I love. To achieve my goal, I have good people skills and like working with others, and I have done a lot of group work, which will help me in the future. Getting into a group called Club Scrub, a learning experience about different medical careers located at the Monroe Hospital, will also help be choose which specific medical career I want.

A year later, family was one of the few lucky to find a safe haven in the city of Abu-Dhabi, while our immigration resettlement application was being reviewed by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

It has taken me transferring out of University and suffering from an injury that ended my soccer career for me to finally end up where I need to be. I have always wanted to be in the medical field. As a little girl I was doing it all, from giving my father an IV to packing wounds on our farm animals. I just recently finished CNA I and never have I loved doing something as much as I enjoyed that. I never realized that I was a people person and going through clincals has opened my eyes to that. I can only imagine the impact that CNA II or even completing the ADN program will have on me, especially after the impact CNA I had on me. I am a very hard worker. I am goal oriented and determined to reach my goals. This scholarship would help me worry

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.

Despite being a soccer player and casual runner, I have rather abysmal balance. Consequently, I find myself in the ER more than I would like for my less than graceful coordination. Nonetheless, there is one thing I find in common no matter what hospital, ER, or health care center I go to: the sincerity and diligence of the nurses working there. My high school career has tailored my interest and helped me find my path through learning about the healthcare field and admiring the dedication and hard work nurses take to get there. Currently, I am taking EMT I/II which empowers me to learn about a topic I love while becoming a certified EMT. But college is not only about achieving one’s career.

Being able to pursue a career or job that you find passion in is a beautiful thing. We as individuals in modern society have the ability to choose whatever we want to be in life. As a society, we are okay with individuals going for careers as long as they “fall in line” with their gender. Usually, men go for jobs where they are able to show their masculinity, strength, or love for automobiles. For example, if a man pursues a job in the automobile, constructions, or sports then everything is okay with the world. If a woman pursues a job that mostly women go for such as a nanny, teacher, or hairstylist then that is okay because we want our women to have feminine or nurturing jobs. When a man or a women choose to go for a job that does not pertain to their gender things can get pretty ugly. Gender Discrimination means “discrimination based on a person 's gender or sex, which more often affects girls and women.

Even though women may experience gender discrimination more than men, men also fall victim to this sort of discrimination. Discrimination is the biggest problems people experience in the workplace or when they are trying to get a job that does not fit for their gender. There are several ways receiving gender discrimination that happen frequently in the day to day lives like giving a
