Growing up I always loved animals and science, and wanted to become a veterinarian. That soon changed once I entered senior year high school and realized that chemistry and physics was not my strong suit and that I did not want to put in the arduous work to study. My grades were average and my mom said, “your grade point average is not good enough to compete against students who want to be a veterinarian.” By saying this, she figured it would motivate me to do better, but it did not. I ended up doing research in other fields that I would be interested in., or that I had a hobby in. I came across wanting to get my degree in Communications because there was a lot of writing involved and I loved to write and it was so broad you can go into any career field. …show more content…
I had big dreams to be in a position in public relations for one of my favorite fashion magazines. I told her that to even try to get an internship at any of these magazines I would have to move to either New York City or Los Angles. That would be a lot considering; money and where I would live. At this point I had to go back to the drawing board and think of a plan. I was nervous because I did not want to be one of the kids who did not have a job for two years after graduating college. I applied for jobs day in and day out, hoping that I would receive a job before
My future as in graduating, opportunities, and going to college were becoming limited in my eyes. In knowing that was the best decision to move, I have
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.
I remember a time in my life when I would always play with little children. At that point, at the age of six or seven, I decided to become a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher. When I started high school, I started feeling stressed out because of the pressure that I was doing to myself to reach my goal of becoming a pediatrician. I could hardly focus on the topic we would have during class because I would be thinking about my future as a pediatrician. With the help of my friends, they helped me overcome the obstacles that I had. The more I thought about what profession I wanted to be, I thought about how much I loved working and dealing with computers. My friends and cousins told me that I should and can be what ever I wanted, and that helped me decide to major in computer engineering at San Jose State University. So you see when it comes down to life, dreams are not the only thing that can keep men going, friendships, pets and companionships can do the same.
When I was a child most of school was always based on what you wanted to be. Constantly I was being asked what I wanted to become, I had always answered with a careless answer that every adult expected. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. Soon as I moved through middle school and now going through high school I became interested in the medical field. With my passion for animals and always wanting to help them, I soon realized what I wanted to specialize in. I am interested in pursuing a career in veterinary the reason I would like to make my plan concur because I want to improve animal 's health, perform operations to cure them and possibly help them stay healthier for a much longer period. Veterinarians are always doing
The career I have chosen for my future is to become a registered dental hygienist. It wasn’t until I actually learned what dental hygienists do that influenced my interest from medical to dentistry. The first honest reason I was gravitated to dental hygiene was because of the salary. I didn’t really know what Dental Hygienist actually did until I did some research.
Growing up I struggled with the constant question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” With so many different career paths to choose from, it’s hard to become overwhelmed. As college gradually tiptoed in on me, I began to feel like I would never find the profession right for me. The few things that I did know I wanted in my future career were very simple to me. They were a job in the healthcare world where I could go home each night knowing I made a difference in someone’s life. A job that wasn’t just following a routine everyday but required creativity and brought new challenges while working with a diverse population.
When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to exam how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Science. With this major, I will be able to further my education in ways to be healthy and possibly learn how to help others. I decided that being a health physician or nutritionist was something that I was really interested in. This is where communication studies came in. I figured that if I minor in communication studies, I could improve my oral and written communication to better help in my future of nutrition.
Becoming a researcher was not something I ever dreamed of doing until a friend pointed out that it was exactly what I wanted to. I immediately began looking for an opportunity to study Neuroscience, and it just so happened that at the school that I had always dreamed of going to, has the only undergraduate Neuroscience program in the state. It all just clicked after that. I began to do a little reading and studying on my own, in order to learn more about what I was interested in. As time went on, I realized how much I truly would want to make a career out of becoming a Neuroscience researcher. While I know I may never make a great medical discovery, there is also the small chance that I win a Nobel Peace Prize, and that is what will keep me going.
people. My mother wanted me to become a doctor because it is a well paying
When I was young I was always changing my mind on what I wanted to be when I grew up. With my many different interests it was hard to choose. I wanted to be a vet for a long time because I was what you could say, obsessed with dogs and wanted to work with them and maybe even cats but nothing else. When I was taking dance classes for a while I want to be a choreographer for a minute. One of my favorite tv shows was Americas Next Top Model so, I wanted to be a model. With all my many different interests and different careers I wanted, one thing is for sure and that has never changed my love for fashion.
At the time I thought I wanted to be a physician so I originally started as an athletic training major. I chose this because I had enjoyed being a student athletic trainer while in high school. I also thought it would stand out from all the biology and chemistry pre-med majors when I applied to medical school. That summer before leaving for college, I realized that I only desired to be a physician because I wanted to be smarter than my mother who is an advanced practice nurse. I grew up with a mom who was a nurse, and I thought I knew what that meant. As I considered my options and goals to become a physician didn’t seem right anymore. I knew I wanted to go into healthcare, but I was uncertain about which field I wanted to pursue. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted to advocate for patients, perform skills, teach patients and families, administer medications and provide emotional support. When I realized that is what nurses do I decided I wanted to be a
That summer after school I just wanted to find a job and start making some money. Going to college for anther four year was something I thought I could not handle. I final got a job at UPS unloading trucks. At first I thought how hard could it be? But every day I would come home exhausted from working in the heat. And then when I got tiny pay check, it hit me. From then on I decided that manual labor was something that I could not do the rest of my life and I could definitely not support a family on that income. A job behind a desk in the air conditioning was what I wanted.
As a freshman, I was conflicted about what I wanted out of college. At the time, I naively believed that I would major in Neuroscience and Arabic while completing plenty of biomedical research on the side. Perhaps I would also sign up for a few clubs here and there and thus produce the perfect resume for medical school. In the following year, I realized that my heart was not into the breakneck agenda I planned for myself and I started to reevaluate just what exactly I wanted to pursue in my undergraduate experience. With the aid of many advising sessions I gained a clearer picture of my passions, which as I had come to realize, were what I truly wanted to work towards. Among my interests is Global Health -- in particular, I wish to learn more
In high school my ideal career seemed to change from day-to-day. I tried working at a fast food restaurant, and ice cream parlor, a day care, but none of these led to any career decisions. I wanted to join the military so I took the ASVAB but I was not confident enough in my ability to make it through basic training so I gave up the idea. I wanted to be an architect so I applied for admission to the CAD program at ITT Technical Institute and was accepted. I was scheduled to start classes on June 12, 1989, but deep down what I truly wanted was to a wife and mother and the idea of getting out of Rantoul, Illinois did not hurt either. My unspoken desire came to the fore when I met my future husband in January of 1989. We were married on June 10, 1989, four days after my high school graduation and two days before I w...
When looking back on the times of becoming the young woman that I am today, there have been times that I questioned what I wanted to become. I remember when I was in elementary school, I would play school with my friends and I would teach them. But, when I went into middle school, I became interested in the medical field, and this continued until my high school years. Both my mother and my stepmother are teachers and they have encouraged me to look into the field, but I never became interested until my stepmother asked me if I could help her on a field trip to the circus when I was in the eleventh grade.
