In regards to my academic and career goals, I plan to attend a four year university and eventually medical school. After medical school, I hope to become an orthopedic surgeon through residency and specialize in sports medicine. My interest in sports medicine has developed through experiences such as observing my father’s ACL surgery, having an operation on a broken hand, and caring for my grandfather who had prostate cancer. I hope to contribute to the world of sports medicine through research, either on treatments for knee ligament tears or supplement breakthroughs. Additionally, this past summer I spent most of my time at the University of Pittsburgh Health Career Scholars Academy, where I was able to explore various science-related health professions through lectures and gain insight on the medical field. These experiences have secured my interest for healthcare and medicine. My primary short term goal is to get accepted to a well-respected university. Even though admission decisions are virtually out of my hands, I truly believe that I will utilize the resources to their full potential. Additionally, I plan to finish my high school semesters with all A’s (no “senioritis”) and use it to transition into the college course load. In essence, my short and long terms goals that relate are high performance in school and staying healthy. My performance in college cannot falter since I want to one day attend medical school. Moreover, I need to continue getting results to stand out and pushing myself against all odds to attain my career goals. As for maintaining my health in the long term, I do not want to be a healthcare professional that gives advice that is not personally followed. As a physician, I hope to be a role model by ex... ... middle of paper ... ...re comfortable writing for longer amounts of time, which lead to development in both my grammar and diction. Overall, I was fortunate to have the initiative to indulge myself in a subject matter that I was not comfortable with academically. In regards to the course, I believe I have experienced the greatest improvement in my willfulness to write. It is not a dreadful task anymore, and instead, a way to expressing my feelings and thoughts. This has helped my performance in all classes since it is now easy to explain my logic through my writing. Nevertheless, writing will always be a learning process. As I continue to learn more challenging and thought-provoking material, it has become just as difficult to defend my viewpoints in the most attentive way possible. However, I have made it a priority to continue working on expressing myself and thoughts through writing.
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 biggest improvement I have made in this course would be my passion to write again. Prior to this class, writing was a hobby that I would do as a last resort. I was intrigued with it, however, it was not passion. For years I believed my writing was not good enough because I could not properly express my thought process in a manor of which others could comprehend; I believed my writing was very weak. In the beginning of this class, the reason I was late for many papers is because I did not want to hand an assignment that demonstrate my lack of writing abilities. However, as the class progressed and I continued to complete the assignments, the more confident I became in my writing. Moreover, the way I have grown as a writer is becoming more confident within the words I wrote.
My goal since my toddler years has been to be a hero. Today, I cannot envision myself doing anything else. My long-term goal since the beginning of high school has been to contribute to the biomedical sciences, whether it is as a researcher, a surgeon, or a clinical physician. I aspire to make change, even the smallest improvement in anyone’s life.
Throughout this semester I have learned many ways of writing through two main essays literacy narrative and comparison and contrast. These two essays have taught me how to correctly fix my comma splices, thesis statements, and capitalization. I have engaged in numerous learning material during this summer class. Many times when I thought it would be hard to work on those three developments I never gave up. I gain more positive feedback from my teacher because he pointed out most of my mistakes I made on both literacy narrative and comparison and contrast essays to help me understand what is it that I need to work on. My development as a writer became stronger.
Goals give you something to measure yourself against and give you direction. Currently, my main goal is to graduate from East Carolina University with a bachelor’s degree of science in engineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering. My anticipated time to graduation is five years with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Beyond getting my bachelor’s degree at East Carolina University, I would like to go to medical school and become a doctor focusing on prosthetics. In order to make my goals a reality, I will have to work diligently to remain on track throughout my schooling. Additional goals that I have set for myself are to complete homework assignments by the time they are due, reading assigned material before it is discussed in class, doing well in each of my courses this semester, successfully participating in extracurricular activities, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, getting a position as an engineer, and becoming a leader within both the engineering community and the general community. A world-class engineering student woul...
My short-term goals will be completed throughout High School. I am taking a lot of Mathematical classes in High School, this year I am taking Statistics and Business Math. Next year I will either take Calculus or Precalculus. I like taking math courses because there is a lot of math in anyone's life time. Also my career choices require a lot of math, most classes they like to see I have already taken. I plan to get high grades in all of my classes so Colleges will take me seriously. One of my favorite classes is Statistics and I have a decent grade in it too. My activities at school include being in the Woodshop Club. It is very enjoyable for me and I hope to do more in woodworking as I grow older as a hobby. Activities outside of school include mainly Boy Scouts and work. I plan to get my Eagle Scout rank and I might go on to get Eagle Palms. I work as a Concrete laborer and I also do some finishing, it is a very
My current short term goals are focused on two main things. One is preparing myself for college, and the other is bettering my physical health. To achieve my college bound goals, I am attempting to finish high school with as many college credits as possible. I have taken a dual enrollment class as well as four AP classes in order to do this. I believe this workload is also preparing me for the increased workload that comes with college. As far as my physical health, this is really a long-term goal as well as short
My interest in pursuing a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree is constructed by a variation of components in my life. Starting from a young age and being driven by selflessness, my motives have always been linked to helping others. In fact, my position at Mount Sinai of helping to recover the optimal physical functions of patients with disabling conditions made me realize what I wanted to devote my career to. This feeling of being able to bring a smile to someone’s face or positively affect the trajectory of their life by improving their well-being have motivated me to join the health care team. In addition to being captivated by the study of the human body and movement in all its forms, I also have an interest in sports and healthy living. This
...to some extent), and certainly broadened my view of others opinions has certainly gotten better. I have encountered issues which forced me to reevaluate what the author was really talking about and going from there. I don't think I have gotten any better at time management skills enough or editing skill, because I still have a hard time with getting all assignments in on time and completed them without any mistakes. I would definitely like to improve my ability to take constructive criticism and use it properly to enhance my essays and papers. I think I also have to work on taking my time on an assignment and not wait so long to start it. I hope to further advance my research skills as well, writing skills in the near future. This course has kind of helped me bridge the transition from high school to college, and that’s going to make thing a lot easier next semester.
My education and occupation goals are the strongest and most prevalent goals in my life. I want to be a physical therapist someday. In order to do that, I will have to complete an undergrad program as well as three years of graduate school. In order to get into an acclaimed graduate school I need to excel in an undergraduate program. A goal of mine is to get accepted into the honors program and stay on
My main goal is to earn a degree in the medical field, eventually going on to grad school. I know that I want to study in the medical field and am exploring careers as a general physician or as an anesthesiologist. I plan on studying to earn a bachelor's in the natural sciences, then to graduate from medical school, and to complete my four-year residency in the specialty that I decide to pursue.
For the long term I also have quite a few goals. As I mentioned I hope to graduate from Liberty with my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I am attempting to do this in just two and a half short years. Along with graduating I hope to graduate with at least a 3.5 GPA. After I graduate I
Over the semester, I have learned numerous things about myself as a reader and a writer. When I first began class, I did not know anything about writing an essay. I could not spell well nor tell you what a thesis was. As the semester went on, my communication skill has improved, my vocabulary has expanded, and my writing has improved greatly.
