Even though those were all careers I thought were right for me, they were not. My chosen career and true passion is a Prosecuting Attorney, and eventually Attorney General.

Growing up in a low income neighborhood, with high crime rates has had a big influence on me to become a parole officer or social worker. In highschool I watched many of my classmates drop out of high school, do drugs, and even end up incarcerated. Seeing these people drop out made me realize I wanted to pursue a career that would engage in helping others especially those who grew up in neighborhoods like mine.

Serving in the military is an honorable career, but after seven years I knew it was time for a change. My desire to become a social worker grew in my last years of service when I was introduced to a military clinical social worker. She opened my eyes to the different opportunities I could pursue by becoming a social work. From working with children, families or the elderly there are many avenues to choose, but I decided to specialize in supporting veterans transitioning back to civilian life. Being a veteran myself I know first hand the struggles of reintegration.

My professional future will be comprised of becoming a social worker focusing on wounded veterans returning to the civilian world. The reintegration of troops into society has produced drastic complications. Combat veterans return with physical and moral injuries that are little understood by society.

The complications and injuries have led to the highest suicides among returning troops which now stand at twenty-two every single day.

My first experience with physical therapy was during my last year of elementary school. I was a teacher’s aid for a classroom consisting of younger children with special needs. I worked with a girl who was unable to walk, and she could barely speak, but she always had a special way of communicating with the other aids and I. The more time I spent helping her learn how to walk, speak, and read, the stronger she became physically and mentally. Watching her walk for the first time on her own brought a smile to her face, along with mine. Another connection to physical therapy I have

A career is the profession that one chooses to take up in order to make their way in society.

The process to choosing a career path was a bit difficult. I took many assessments to discover my personality type, my values, my interests, and which occupational field I would fit in best. Most of the results were inconclusive or would contradict the results of another assessments. For example, the result for my Holland assessment said that based on my personality I would be most comfortable in an occupational field that had many careers in engineering.
