Statement of Purpose for a Career as a Computer Architect or a Fitness Trainer

For as long as I can remember, my profession of choice has been an occupation in the healthcare field. My dad often reminisces on when I was three when he would ask me “What’s your name?” I would reply with “Dr. Peppers.” Well sixteen years later my dream of being a doctor no longer exists, however my goal to become one of the best athletic trainers in the country is burning with passion. Growing up I wanted to be several different occupations like a trauma nurse, an obstetrician, or a physical therapist, before realizing after two years of high school sports medicine that athletic training was my niche. In coming to better comprehend athletic training as a career, my experiences in my classes and clinical here at Winthrop along with my high school experience in sports medicine has shaped my understanding of the athletic training world.

When I think of my career goals, I ask myself what I want to accomplish in life. I know that I love helping patients and families, and I want to continue to do that. I always am changing my mind on what I want to do after my BSN. I don’t know when or if I will get my masters or continue to work at the bedside for a while. I love what I do and what I do for other people and families. Working in the critical care unit feels like home. I get to do what I love.

When it comes to job prospects, Athletic Trainers can have a fairly easy time finding a job if they look in the right areas. Missouri is the easier place to find a job if a person wanted to be an Athletic Trainer because there are more job opportunities. If a person wants to work as an Athletic Trainer it will be easiest to live in a city or town that has colleges, universities, or gyms (“Employment and Outlook” 1). Once I get the right education, I feel confident that I will find a job as an Athletic Trainer. I am glad that I would not have to leave Missouri since there are typically job openings here. I would rather not move out of Missouri, but I would not mind moving if it meant that I got to pursue the career of my choice.

Physical therapy and criminal investigating are two careers with high interest. Many people want to become them when they get older and they are steadily growing. Both a physical therapist (PT) and a criminal investigator (CI) must be in great physical shape and both must learn a lot to perform in their profession. As well as great mental and physical shape, they must maintain training throughout in order to succeed and stay in the job. These jobs appeal to me because I think I am in both physical and mental shape. Also, I am excited to learn new things and that is required by both professions. When looking at the differences however, there are much more. A PT must be a people person and help rehabilitate injured persons while a CI looks into crime either locally or federally and does not necessarily have to be a social, interactive person. Although both of these jobs have desirable aspects, I would prefer to be a physical therapist because I would like to interact with people more and physically help them recover.

Coming to Rutgers University I knew that my major interest would be in Exercise Science and Medicine. One of the reasons I wanted to major in Exercise Science was because of my intentions to become a Physical Therapist. The course work of the Exercise Science programs entails a strong understanding of functional human anatomy, kinesiology, and human physiology, which are all relevant coursework for Physical Therapy school. One major benefit of this major is the senior internship that all students have to find in order to graduate with a B.S. Secondly, another major that interests me but is underrepresented is Nutrition. Ever since I started being conscious about my health and what foods are essential, I found nutritional science profoundly interesting. Nutrition encompasses strong background knowledge in biochemical, physiological, and behavioral processes. This major gives students many marketable opportunities in medicine, dietetics, and clinical research. Finally, the third major that I would consider is Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. This major encompasses many principles of the biological systems as well as supplementing knowledge from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The spectrum of careers and applications of this major include research in biotechnology and genetic engineering.

My decision to become a physical therapist really started at the end of my first application cycle. Waiting for any form of notification eagerly, hands shacking, heart pounding, and mind racing imposed fear into my life that the dream of becoming a physical therapist was not actually going to happen. Receiving one of these notification, caused a panic especially when the words, “I regret to inform you..” appeared on the page. In attempts to change the frame of mind I was in, I did anything, but I could not seem to escape the feelings of anxiety over being held back from what I wanted to do for a career the rest of my life. During that moment, something happened. The fear, stress, and anxiety were all negative feelings, but I knew I cared about this field that strongly that I would become worked out to the point I thought my life was over.

Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity, it was nice seeing you during the Athletic Training Program interview today.

When I first heard of the Student Assistant Program, I saw a perfect opportunity to build skills and obtain valuable work experience. I also realized that by working in this program, I would not have to worry as much about finances and can focus more on my studies at the University of Washington. In addition, this program is an ideal work opportunity because the Seattle Public Library system has branches close to the college, and it would be easy to walk from one to the other.

I am applying for the Master of Professional Studies in Technology Management (Health Information Technology) program at Georgetown University for the summer 2014 session, keeping in mind my future objectives of doing a PhD in Health Information Technology. My desire and enthusiasm for further study and research is motivated by professional goals and intellectual curiosity. I would like to pursue a career in the development of new Health-IT systems, especially remote monitoring technologies, technology-supported translation services, c and self-management tools through mobile technologies that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information flow in a healthcare setting. I strongly believe the intellectual environment at Georgetown

My post-secondary education has been thought about since the fifth grade (This is awkwardly worded perhaps simplify to something like “I have been planning my post-secondary path since I was in fifth grade.” and then since this is a very odd thing for a 10 year old to do explain why).. I’ve thought about different colleges, in different places. Now, however, I’ve decided on my top three colleges. University of Oxford, University of East London, and University of Washington. I’ve never thought that I would pursue Oxford since it was way out of my league, but after researching about what it’s looking for, I knew that I could do it. I do plan to either take Journalism/Communications, Business, or Government science as my majors (I don’t think

I first hear the term “physical therapy” when I was about five years old. One day I was playing soccer with my brother Sinjin, and slipped on the ball. I got a spiral fracture on my tibia. After the bone healed I had to do weeks of physical therapy to make my leg strong again. Now, years later, I am ready to dive in to make a career out of what I found was intriguing.

Who am I? I'm an 18-year old community college student that has been given the unique opportunity to experience 30-days as an intern in Stanford's Center on Poverty & Inequality.

Who am I? I am the intelligent girl who sits in the back of class. I am the perky, charismatic girl who can turn something bad into something great. I am the girl who goes out of her way to achieve her goal, even if it means having sleepless nights. I am Tatianna McTaire, the girl who wants to be the best Dietitian, the Turks and Caicos has ever seen.

Every child has a hero. And the hero influences the child life in many ways and ultimately it plays a crucial part in a child’s life from the early stages of childhood to become a successful man. No I am not talking about any artificial super hero like Superman, Ironman or Batman. My real life hero was my dad. And he is a successful Businessman, an entrepreneur and an industrialist. Since my childhood I saw him studying stock exchange, analysing data, inspecting market for new product and new investment opportunity. And he always studied the cost and risk involved with the project and how to minimize them before starting the business. My dad told me ‘if you want to be a successful entrepreneur then you have to learn fundamental

When debating career paths one must weigh several aspects to ensure future happiness and desired ambitions. Three main components that will ultimately be my decisive factors in the matter are as follows. The education required to enable a job opportunity is the career path's most essential element. Along with the necessary schooling, one must possess or build the skills needed to complete the choice career's responsibilities. Although money may seem greedy and narrow-minded I want to be positive; I will have the ability to care for other and myself with ease, and will remain one of my key focuses. An architectural position requires rigorous educational programs; the skills obtained by a jack-of-all-trades, and is by no means a slouch in the earnings category. With structures ranging from the Birds Nest in Beijing to your every-day apartment complex, an architect's work can effect an entire population or just your average middle-class family. Whereas a personal trainer cannot as easily impact entire populations, they do change people for the better. A personal trainer can also expect enduring hours of study and the acquirement of many skills involving health and fitness however; most personal trainers will not reach the income of an architect. Through gathering information and evaluating my needs and stature, I can select which career I would take more pleasure in further pursuing.
