Deciding what career to pursue is not always an easy task. For some people, their childhood career remains throughout their lives, and others never develop a true career path but most discover it in college because it is necessary to graduate. When I analyze my career path, I was between childhood career and developing new interests in college. Growing up my dream was to be a doctor, more specifically a pediatric doctor. However, as I grew up and realized how hard chemistry was, and how the sight of blood makes my stomach church, my childhood career quickly came to an end. In my late teens I developed a new passions and interest that I wanted to purse in college and as a career. I loved to read more and spent a lot of my days with my nose in a book. I loved to argue and help people so that naturally pushed me towards a career in Law. I want to become a lawyer because I loved to help people solve their problems, and while I know many careers do that, law fit me best because it allowed to help people through the activities I loved. Because law is so abstract and touches every aspect of life, my profession is not tailored towards a specific crowd. As a lawyer my goal is to bring equal justice and liberation to my clients who face all types of legal battles. Three wellness factors that impact my profession and the people who seek legal assistance is physical wellness, interpersonal wellness, and financial wellness. As I stated before law applies to all parts of life there is no one specific area it focuses on. I …show more content…
Motivational interview helps because if your client was in a traumatizing case, being able to correctly speak to them may allow for them to share more. You want to be credible as a lawyer and one of the many ways to be a credible lawyer is by listening to your
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
Focusing on pursuing a career you like is important because statistics show fifty-two percent of Americans are unhappy going to work every day because they chose a career they didn’t have an interest in. My ideal job is in the medical field because I’ve always had a passion in helping people. I want to specialize in nurse anesthesia because of the important role they have in society. Nurse anesthesia interests me because of the tasks they do, the advanced education path they must take, and the history behind the profession.
When we were little, we thought the word “Career” was not a big deal, but as a senior in high school, the word has become our reality as we start to finish our last semester. The question we’ve been asked all these years is, what do you want to be when you grow up? But our answer is simple: we don’t want to grow up. As an innocent kid it seemed like the time would never come, but it has. It’s time to get serious and really ponder this question.
As young child we are all asked what we would like to be when we grow up. Usually the answer is a firefighter, a policeman, or nurse. When I was a child I changed my mind multiple times. At first I wanted to be Minnie Mouse, then a dancer. Then, about two years ago, I wanted to be a crime scene investigator. I had all my plans worked out. I was going to attend the University of Memphis and major in criminal justice. However, one day about a year ago, my mind totally changed. I decided to go in the complete opposite direction. I decided that I wanted to be a cosmetologist.
The career path that I want to pursue is in the medical field. I major in psychology and minor in biology because going to medical school has always been my desire. Being a pediatrician is my goal I wish to conquer. I am beyond interested and passionate about this career. It is not just a career, it is my life dreams. I want to be able to enjoy going to work every day knowing I love my job and I am here because I want to. Being a pediatrician I am able to work with children and many people of different cultures. I am thrilled to know that I will be capable of caring for sick children.
When I was little my teachers would ask me “Cora, What do you want to be when you grow up”? In reality, I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’. When I was around seven, I went from wanting to be a Veterinarian to being an Astronaut, then back to a Veterinarian again. Around age 10, I wanted to be a dentist, even though I hate mouths. Then I wanted to be a Veterinarian again. Junior Year of high school came and when we started to research colleges and careers I heard that Premed programs were so hard to get into, and I wasn’t fooling anyone with my grades. I did some research on Veterinarians and I discovered that the Veterinarians don’t really handle the animals like I thought they did. Then I learned about Veterinary Technicians, they do so much with the animals. I
From a small age — usually around the age of six or seven — children are asked to think of what they’d like to be when they grow up. Some already have some kind of notion, but with time their decision will change. That was my case — I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be. “What would you want to be when you grow up?”, was a question several people would ask me. It’s was a question I didn’t know the exact answer to. Little did I know, deep down inside, I knew what I wanted to be all along. In elementary I seemed to have an obsession with the idea of becoming a doctor. On numerous occasions I would play doctor with my family. Due to my small age I wasn’t sure of what kinds of doctors there were. My assumption was that all doctors dealt with colds, fevers, and flus.
In order to determine whether or not clinical medicine was the right career for me, I started shadowing Dr. Richard Turner in the ER. Through my experiences with him, I learned that medicine is a problem solving process. As I watched, he would take a patient's history and try to piece together the correct diagnosis by deciding which scenarios were more likely than others. I was attracted by the dynamic nature of each patient's diagnosis and the necessity for an open mind. My hobby of flying has taught me to look at everything in life with a new perspective and to assess the situation from as many angles as possible. Watching Dr. Turner has confirmed my perception of a medical career and the nature of the work involved. Since I love puzzles and problems, the problem solving aspect also increased my desire to become a physician.
In this essay/report I will explain to the best of my abilities, my possible career path. I have wanted to be many things. In grade 1, I wanted to be a superhero, and that hope stayed out for a while. Later on, when I was 10, my brain started getting new ideas, exploring the world around me, thinking of other things aside form cartoons and I thought to myself, how in the world am I going to become a superhero? I started thinking of other jobs like firefighter, police officer, engineer, construction worker etc., etc. But then I decided it was no good. Then one day when I was watching an interview on TV, a firefighter was being interviewed and one of the questions was: How long did it take you to decide what you wanted to be? And he said a long time. Then I wondered how long a long time would be, I wanted to jump into the TV and ask the guy how long a long time was. Hmm, I wondered, how long is a long time and then I answered my question. “It’s going to be a long time ‘till it’s a long time, I’ve got nothing to worry about.” That question just flew off my mind until at the start of grade eight when I encountered this question again, and I answered it. It took a while and some research but I answered it. I want to be a Neurosurgeon when I grow up.
I was ten, and when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, Princess and Rock Star were still in the running. However, when I responded with the answer lawyer, I remember feeling a resonating heaviness with that response; as if I’d chosen correctly. Now, nearly eight years later--even after brief stints in engineering and culinary-- I’ve still found my way back to law; albeit an entirely different law than I’d ever imagined
...e other students, as I apply to law school I harbor no disillusion about the true life of an attorney. I understand that it is not a simple profession and I will probably make less in public service than the cost of my legal education, but that is irrelevant. Studying law will provide an opportunity to do something that is deeply etched into the core of my character, a quality that stood out not only through my work with the undergraduate Leadership Minor Studies program at UNCW, but also in the amount of time and service I have dedicated to my community over the years. Joining the legal profession will allow me to strive to be a better person and lawyer by serving the public. In my opinion, the passion, understanding and ambition I have to assist all members of society are what make me an excellent J.D. candidate for the University of North Carolina School of Law.
The second dimension of wellness is emotional wellness, which has a lot to do with you ability to recognize your own thoughts and feelings and deal with them in a healthy way. There are a lot of ways to do this, such as: understanding and sharing your thoughts and feelings with yourself and those around you, and being confident in your self and the decisions you make. Some well known people who I believe have attained emotional wellness include Ellen DeGeneres and Doctor Phil.
Knowing what each of these dimensions of wellness requires can feel overwhelming. However, one should not be discouraged because of what they lack, but look forward to the improvement we are capable of bringing to our own lives. Becoming more spiritual will always be beneficial. Anytime one can improve their relationship with God one can improve their life astronomically. Emotional wellness is possible even for those who have been through horrible experiences. Practicing emotional wellness can bring healing. Physical and nutritional wellness will lead to a longer, pleasanter life and social wellness will make that life worth living. Sharing a well life with family, friends, and God will make time on this earth an irreplaceable experience.
In the future, I hope to pursue my career dream of becoming a pediatrician. Pediatricians can be identified individuals who specialize in giving medical care to children and adolescents between infancy to adulthood at eighteen years of age. I became inspired to become a pediatrician due to my immense love of children. Perhaps I have an innate intuition for taking care of people being that I have always felt that I excel at taking care of others. The idea of taking care of others truly makes me feel that I serve a purpose, not only to better the life of myself but the life of others. Therefore, I believe that becoming a pediatrician will help me combine the best of both worlds into a career that I adore and cherish.
All of the components of wellness I discussed in this essay make me think about how I want to change my lifetime wellness goals and become a much more well-rounded person. Learning about these aspects and how you can achieve them has helped me to start living a healthier, happier life not just physically but emotionally, intellectually, socially, spiritually, and occupationally.
