Smdep Reflection Paper

The experience taught me to work hard to achieve my goal of becoming a doctor and helping as many people as I can. It taught me not to waste my time.

Volunteering at Children’s Hospital offered me an experience that pushed me to strive for no less than excellence. By volunteering, I watched my dreams and ambitions get closer, and although the process is a slow and difficult one, every second of it was worth it because I was able to watch everything I value become

During our conversation many topics were discussed. During my time talking to the family I started to notice a few worrisome details. First, the mother was going to stay home with the infant while the father went back to work. Though she had a lot of family present for the birth, they don’t live in Colorado. The mother shared she has struggled with depression during her pregnancy and was worried about if it was going to come back. It became clear that I needed to focus my teaching on educating the family about postpartum depression due to the mothers’ risk factors. I questioned the

Final Paper From an early age, I always knew I wanted to do something in the medical field. I remember when I was younger; I would walk around my house with plastic medical instruments and beg my family members to play doctor with me. From then on, I knew helping people and being in the health setting was something I would want to do as I got older. I just wasn't sure what occupation I would want to go into; till I took a class called Explorations of Health careers. A guest speaker came in and she was a pediatrics nurse and

From the start of high school I knew I wanted to go into a health related field of study. The path to become a physician is going to be strenuous but even as the little freshmen I was, I understood what it would take to achieve my passion of helping people. I started off my journey with volunteering at the local health fair held at my local mosque; for the past three years I have been attending the fairs and helping as best as I can, as a translator. Most of the people living in the community that go and have their health screened do not speech English so I serve as a translator between the medical professional and the patient, during the fair. After that, I decided to take a chance and apply at Cook Children's hospital for a volunteering spot

Reflecting myself throughout the years something unique about me is that I like to help other people.I want to be the kind of person that can inspire people or help other people even if it's just the littlest thing. The person who has shaped me and into who I am is my father. He has shaped me into who I am because at a young age, he went to America without knowing any english to get a job to have enough money to get my mom here. After hearing this, it has shaped me into who I am because he came here for his kids to have a better future.The field I became interested in is taking care of kids or babys.

It was the summer of 2013; I decided to use this summer to volunteer at Kings County Hospital, instead of being in my house and just watch TV, eat, and sleep all day. It was the best thing I could say I have ever done. When I got registered at Kings County Hospital, I got placed into the OBGYN/Pediatrics department. I was excited to be lending a helping hand to kids who in need of someone to be by their side. Many people would tell me I’m weird because of this, but I didn’t care. It made me feel good about myself, and how I was going impact someone else’s life instead of mine. But little did I know volunteering here, was going to determine my entire future ahead of me.

Spending a week at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where I shadowed specialists, allowed me to develop my understanding the role of healthcare professions. This confirmed my interest in the healthcare field. I was given the opportunity to observe how difficult it can be behind the scene.

I performed the nursing roles of a care provider, an educator and an advocate for my patient and an educator. I provided holistic care for my patient and looked at the patient as a whole, not just as a patient who is physically sick. I worked physically, personally, and socially with my patient and took into consideration her life outside of the hospital when providing her care and discussing her treatment plans. I administered her medications and cared for her physically but also was able to get to know the personal aspects of the patient.

Life as a matriculation student had brought challenges that enhanced positive input to my character. After that, I had endeavored to experience few positions to become a well-rounded doctor. Most significantly was the experience as an art teacher at a kindergarten for a month. I faced difficulties coping with hyperactive children, but that pushed me to persevere. My interest to become a pediatric flourished when I developed patience, confidence and techniques required dealing with innocent beings. Before engaging at IMU, I tried to explore the discipline of medicine as much as possible. Volunteering for 2 weeks at a hospice as palliative care has been daunting, but truly rewarding. During my time there, I performed simple nursing tasks such as making a bed, feeding patients and deliver them thru and fro theatre. Every

There has been several personal circumstances that although not all negative, they have prevented me from making satisfactory academic progress. A year ago, I gave birth to my first child during my pregnancy I had many health complications accompanied by many Dr. visits until I had to have an emergency C – section. My pregnancy was filled with much stress and frustration that geared my focus to not just my health but the health of my son.

In my first journal, I noted many benefits of this vocational path. I will have exposure to a variety of perspectives, I will learn to write essays using evidence from empirical research, and I will develop strong interpersonal skills. With the opportunity to take classes in the biology, psychology and individual and family development departments, I already feel that I am developing a deep world view. The nature of the coursework teaches me to draw from a variety of perspectives in making decisions. I have always been passionate about healthcare, and this degree gives me the tools to perform in a medical environment while emphasizing the importance of meaningful social interaction. The Developmental Psychology chapter in Careers in Psychology explained the importance of child life specialists in hospitals. In Journal 5, I explained that child life specialists help families and children transition to the hospital environment. Mental and physical illnesses can be deeply debilitating, especially for children. I feel that the child life specialist position would be an opportunity to help children find joy despite their illnesses. In my journal, I expressed that I have always been drawn to the medical field but have felt that my true gifts lie in interpersonal skills and my passion for those less fortunate. A bachelor of science in psychology will allow me to work in a pediatric care unit and will teach me the soft skills needed in order to interact with patients effectively. With experience as a child life specialist, I hope to further my career and become a clinical

While attending the University of North Florida for my first semester, I have learned several new things about myself, like empathy, through classes like Honors Colloquium. This class, in particular, has provided me with experiences that will aid me further along in life, like our service projects. Additionally, through the assignments of this course I have come to realize the skills and abilities that are in need improvement in order for me to be successful at the occupation I intend to pursue. My aspiration in life is to earn an honest living by providing health care to those in need of such attention. With this career path, I believe that I will have both an exciting and rewarding occupation. Helping those in need by promoting health and preventing disease is something that I found interesting ever since I was little. For when I was younger, I was in the hospital quite often for countless reasons, and knowing that I was going to be perfectly okay lead my impressionable self to gain the utmost respect for those in the healthcare business and eventually lead me to pursue a career in the field. Ultimately, I feel that this profession will allow for me to contribute to society and in doing so, I remain confident that I will learn a great deal from an occupation in health care. For a great man once said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing” (Theodore

Have you ever found yourself inclined to do someone else’s job even though you lacked the appropriate qualifications to administer in the situation, or have the odds ever forced you to assume a position where you were underqualified, but you followed the leading of your innate nature? Ever since my sports-infiltrated, adolescent years, I have always been engrossed with helping those who incurred limb-related injuries. As a kid, I often found myself being sternly dismissed from scenes of sports-related injuries for posing as a professional. I would attempt to counsel others on injury-prevention methods; I would quickly run to a person who experienced a turned ankle; and I would help a person suffering from a leg cramp that caused painful contractions in the hamstrings by bringing the leg into extension. However, it was a combination of my improper tackling form and weak quadricep muscles during my high school, sophomore football career, did I find myself in an indisposed position, being informed about my rehabilitative process that I would have to undertake for my torn anterior cruciate ligament.
