Here is my story. If you're interested, keep reading. If not, take a chance. Life is filled with possibilities. Almost all of them begin with a first impression. Still reading right? How's that for a first impression. Some say I'm different, laid back, open to all opportunities. I like to see myself being unique and determined. But overall, I am not weak. Although it was within the same area, I moved many times. Not only location wise, but also where I put myself in terms of personality and commitment. Let me elaborate on that. You see, even today, a lot may know my personality, although I don't know who I am as a person. What's my reason for living and where do I want to be? I grew up in a unique neighborhood. For all those who know, the Schaumburg and Hanover Park area is not as …show more content…

I changed elementary schools in the third grade and honestly, the whole time I was alone. The transition from primary school to middle school was lonely and very much difficult. No one was my friend. Somehow, at that young of an age, I practically discovered my personality. I realized that I don't care what people think of me and that this is my life that nobody can control. Keeping this in mind, I never thought a person can feel so strong. Especially in high school and middle school, I never worried about what others thought of me when I roamed the halls or focused on what I'm wearing. As senior year came closer and after taking my ACT for the second time, things started to become edgy again. All my life, I wanted to become a doctor or anything in the medical field. I realized that this is what I'm going to do for the rest of my life which gave me second thoughts. Will I get bored of it? Will I be able to remember all of the procedures and symptoms? My friends that also choose to pursue a career in the medical field seem to have much more knowledge and background than I did. They knew what a certain minor disease was or how to treat a second degree

    I began my college career unsure of the path ahead of me. I knew I had a passion for medicine, however, I did not know which direction I would take. With the expansive amount of options offered within the fields of science and medicine, it was difficult to narrow down exactly what direction I wanted to take. I gained some clarity the summer of my sophomore year when I stayed at a close friend’s home, whose father, a practicing Medical Physician, became somewhat of a mentor to me. The passionate way in which he discussed the practice of medicine led me to develop an interest in pursuing a career as a physician. He explained that a career in the medical field was about responsibility, the responsibility to work with all members of the healthcare team for the well-being of the patient as well as their family

    The activity that takes up the most of my time is running. Running has been a huge part of my life since I was ten years old. I dedicate my time to running because I care about how I do in every single race. The great thing about running is that winning does not always mean you get first place. Winning in running can simply be getting faster each race. Looking back on all the hard work I have put in, I can see all that running has paid off. Though I know not all of my speed came from myself, I have Heavenly Father to thank for helping me to be stronger mentally than I was physically. Since running is something that I want to get better at, I talk to a good friend named Moddie Despain about running strategies and techniques. He taught me the

  • Exploring Medical Coding and Billing

    720 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I was younger I use to pretend to be a doctor or nurse. It was always fun to go around and check to see who had a heart beat, who was bleeding, and who was hurt. I knew that I wanted a career in the medical field, but was unsure if I really wanted to be a doctor or a nurse. I thought the only career was to be a doctor or nurse. Of course, the medical profession is larger than that. It includes office staff, EMT’s, nurses, physician assistants, and several other kinds of physicians. While the opportunities are endless in this career field, I have decided that being a doctor or nurse was not what I really wanted to do. It takes too long; the schooling alone is longer than four years. I was not willing to spend more than four years in school. Instead I decided that I wanted to do something that is in the same field as a doctor or nurse. Yet, something that takes less time in school to get a degree for. In addition, I wanted it to be something that I could do to help doctors, nurses, and patients. That is when I found out that Medical Coding and Billing is what I wanted to do.

    Throughout high school and during my undergraduate studies, education was never a top priority for me. Only during the past two years, in the "real world", have I realized the importance of education. I look back at those years and wish I had done more and realized all the potential I had in my hands and not wasted so much time. During my undergraduate career my social activities consumed my life. My friends were not motivated to do well in school so I followed their lead. My grades were low, and I did not even care. After I graduated in 1997 with a Psychology B.A. and lost touch with my old friends and old ways, I have realized that I should have spent more time doing some soul searching and thinking what it was that I wanted to do with my life. I liked Psychology but what I really wanted to do was work with children more closely. I had spent my junior and senior years involved in internships at Head Start and at a High School in a Program for teenaged mothers. I loved my work there. At Head Start I was a Teacher Aid for the pre-school, teaching the children to read, numbers etc. And at the High School I counseled the teenaged mothers, took care of their kids while they went to school and after the school day I tutored them with their homework. After being out of school for a while, I started to miss that. The feeling that I was teaching something those kids, the feeling that I was making a difference. I was determined to find a job in education, with my background in Psychology, how hard could it be? I found work at a residential school for runaways and abused teenaged females. It was great! I was ready to go, I was going to change the world and change those girls lives. What I didn't realize is that will alone does not make me a teacher and that I needed training, a lot of training. I made a lot of mistakes in that job. I got discouraged and decided to forget about working with children, forget teaching and do something else that paid more. So, I got a job as a Secretary, I did that for about two years. Teaching, working with children was always on my mind.

    I received a voice mail today from Sean McKnight stating he has a meeting setup with Ken Barber and some other individuals on the executive board of Illinois Joining Forces (IJF). I felt it was my duty to inform the group about some important facts that Mr. McKnight is very good at hiding. I met Mr. McKnight during my time at NIU. I just served my time as the NIU Veterans Club president and decided it was time to let someone else take the helm. Matthew Galloway the current Veterans Club president introduced the club to Sean McKnight at a veterans club meeting. Sean came in and presented himself as a seasoned veteran’s advocate who has many connections throughout the state of Illinois and Washington D.C. He promoted his organization that he was starting Warriors Guarding Warriors as a revolutionary concept that has not been thought of as for yet throughout the veteran community. Finally, he offered his services to any veterans having trouble with VA benefits or the medical process. At the time we did not know that he was not officially certified to help veterans, and nor did he actually know the proper process or paper work needed to help our fellow veterans. Sean offered to be the Veterans Clubs mentor. The club held a vote and

    They say that focusing on "x" will often lead you to discover "y,"which is exactly what happened. While I was toiling all those hours applying to pre-med programs all over the country, I was also spending an hour a day with a woman who was letting me explore the world of words. And as I spent more and more time trying to gain acceptance in a number of pre-med programs, I was making myself more of the writer that eventually abandoned science to be. I was spending all this time writing admissions letters to people telling them why it was essential for me to open up the hearts of the sick and heal them.

    I come from a family of immigrants, my cousins and I are the first generation born here, and so for our family going to school was a most. I always wanted to make my mom and family proud, but I started to feel pressured of attending school and knowing what I wanted to major straight out of high school. I was going to school but I didn't have interest in learning so I started to not turn in my homework, to skip class, and surely by the middle of spring 2015 I completely dropped out of college and there my mentality changed to a fixed mindset. I remember thinking about how scared I was to go to school, I was scared of failing everything. Dropping out of college was such a disappointment for my entire family, they put me down so much saying that I wasn't going to make it far in life, and that not going to college was such a disappointment. I was happy with my decision of not going to school; I knew I needed time to think of what I wanted to do with my life. I heard about the adult school having the medical assistant program, and I looked into it and when I least expected it I was

    This last weekend, I was presented with the opportunity to return home. My trip back to my house is just over one hour. Since it is so close, I have made this drive multiple times during my career at Wheaton College. On my way back, I realized that I was in country that was unfamiliar to me. A couple minutes later, I was back to what I remembered as the road back to campus. It was amazing to me that within a span of a couple months, I went from knowing what seemed like every street sign on the journey, to being in a location that was completely foreign to me. Then I realized what had happened in the time that I had been gone. Farmland had disappeared due to the introduction of a new subdivision in the area. A wooded lot had disappeared in
