I have always wanted to help people. I’ve always wished to help make a difference in people’s lives. I plan to be an audiologist because I want to change people’s lives and how I can be able to help them and make a difference in someone’s life. As an audiologist I want to help people to hear, by either issuing them a hearing aid or helping them with other hearing options. I wish to be able to administer a hearing test and or help people through therapy or be able to find other forms of help if I am not able to provide the help needed. As an audiologist there is a lot to learn. I will learn what an audiologist does, and the environment that they work in as well. I plan to learn how the equipment works. I will also learn what education is required for this career field but also how and where I can obtain the knowledge needed. What skills I need, also to obtain those as well, and the amount of schooling that is required, the degrees I must acquire. The things that I have learned and plan to gain and what I didn’t know. I have chosen to become an audiologist because of all the challenges I know I will face, along with the challenges I know I can conquer.
Why did I choose this career? I have chosen this career because I wish to help people with hearing disabilities. This career interests me because I love being able to help people and especially children. How I am planning to achieve this goal? Well, I plan to achieve this by going to a college that allows me to achieve a doctoral degree in audiology. Then I plan to either open my own practice or work in a clinic. My desire is to work with people of all ages, but I most enjoy working with children with hearing disabilities.

...perience. I learned that working with kids is something I would love to do, along with working with adults. I love the satisfaction of knowing I was able to help people with disabilities that could be fixed. I also loved seeing the smiles on their faces when we had helped them not only have a better way to understand daily life, but the fact that we had just absolutely made their day.
There is so much I can learn from this career. I can learn how to use and maintain the equipment. I can learn different ways of helping people. I can learn so much about this career and gain an abundance of knowledge and experience throughout the years I enjoy working with people, and children. I want to make a difference in as many lives as I am able too. I would love to become an audiologist for many different reasons, most of all, for the challenges I will face and hope to conquer.
At a young age, I witnessed my younger brother lodge an eraser in his ear and later have it removed by a doctor. A year later he had tubes inserted and a year or so after that, I saw those tubes fall out of his head. Besides thinking that my younger brother was really a robot with metal parts falling out of his brain, it was where my fascination of the human ear began. Since then I’ve helped my grandfather and father with their hearing aids, especially replacing the small batteries which was difficult for their large farmers’ hands. I’ve also observed my older sister, an Audiologist in California, for two weeks as she worked with patients, letting me do hearing aid cleanings, help with sales, file patient records, observe ear molds being
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." I can hear one of my grandmother's highly regarded quotes resonating inside my head. Apprehension consumed me when I entered college as an undecided major. Unexpectedly that all changed a few weeks into my first semester. My grandmother had a stroke which ultimately affected her speech and was in dire need of a Speech Pathologist. This is what initially sparked my interest in this field. I was determined on working with the geriatric population because of the experience and attachment I endured with my grandmother. However, the irrefutable fact that this is my passion became evident when I started working as an Assistant Teacher at Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech.
... tutoring, advising, and volunteer opportunities, I have developed a strong sense of leadership, confidence, and responsibility. A career in medicine will not only strengthen such attributes, but provide me with an ongoing opportunity to learn, not just from books, but also from patients; and to educate and serve those individuals as well. Though my journey began under dismal circumstances, I believe those experiences will specifically enable me to better understand quality of life issues in the under-served populations of my geographic region.
I want to be a physician assistant. I am interested in this career because I like how physician assistants can work in several different specialties. This will give me choices to change my specialty if I do not like the one that I originally choose. Also, I have always been a lifetime learner and I would like to try out different specialties. This will help me to gain more knowledge. After working as a physician assistant, If I decide to become a doctor then I can do that too. I love working with patients. Being a physician assistant would help me to interact more with people and will give me a chance to help others.
Choosing a career path was not easy. I wanted to be able to do so many task that did not fit into certain criteria. My main goal in life is to be able to help those that need support. Getting a psychology degree was a leverage because I could get my degree in this field and use it to help others out. I wanted to be a psychodynamic therapist when I started classes, but after finding out there are more career paths available, I decided to enter the work force of being a victim advocate.
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.
Choosing this field is something that has a profound connection with my personal life. Becoming a Diagnostic Medical sonographer would mean that I have accomplished life long dream. Ever since I was a little, I always wanted to be in the medical field. I have always had a big heart and wanted to help people so when I saw the important role that sonographers play in the medical field, it became clear to me that being a sonographer was exactly what I want to do with my life. In 2007 someone who was very important to me passed away due to gastric cancer. When my grandmother, who was a mother, father, and a friend to me, was diagnosed with gastric cancer my world collapsed. It was devastating news, not only for me but also for the whole family.
I have always wanted to work in the medical field since I was a child. Around four, I told my pediatrician during a well- check visit that I wanted to grow up and be just like her. My love of infants and children strongly influenced my career choice because I want to have the ability to help sick children who do not have the ability to help themselves. I have considered many options to enter the healthcare field from nurse, to doctor, and finally came to the conclusion that what I truly wanted out of my future resided in a career as a Physician Assistant. Becoming a PA is not something that I have considered lightly.
I know that as a speech-language pathologist I will certainly be able to help individuals in endless amounts of ways. It will be my goal as a speech-pathologist to change someone’s life forever, whether it be helping someone with a minor articulation disorder or helping someone who has lost the ability to speak effectively. It would mean the world to me if I was able to see even the slightest progress in an individual because this would mean that they were one step closer than they were yesterday. The field of speech pathology seems undoubtedly challenging, but it also seems like it is one of the most rewarding professions in the world. I really hope that someday I can follow in the footsteps of my parents, assisting others passionately, for they are two incredible individuals that I will always look up to.
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
I chose to go into the field of Social Work. The reason being I felt that I was good at helping others. I am helpful by nature and I tend to attract those looking to be helped. I believe my career choice is appropriate for me because I do fill enjoyment when I help others. It is something that I get tired of at times but the end result always lifts my spirits. I have been in the helping field for 20 years and I can’t think of any other career that would work best for me.
From a young age, I was drawn to the healthcare field, not because the amount of money doctors, nurses and other health professionals made, but because of the dedication and contentment I saw on their faces helping someone in need. Growing up everyone wanted to become a doctor or a nurse and as a little child being a doctor or a nurse was a profession many parents wanted their child to pursue as a career. Needless to say, I fell into that category because I had high hopes that one day I will become a nurse. However, that dream came to a halt.

The career i chose is a branch of the medical field. I chose a career in nursing, more specifically the career path of a registered nurse. This career consists of providing care for people of all ages and helping them with managing their conditions. I chose this career because my mother is an rn and my family has a strong presence in the medical field. It is important to understand the education or training requirements, skills, or talents needed, salary, benefits offered, and the duties for a particular career when making this decision.
All of the experiences I had up until this date have made into the person I am today. I am very good at appearing confident, and in some area of life I am. I have extreme compassion for those who cannot help themselves and those that struggle to fit in. By finishing my degree in Human Services I will be able to do just that, and in the meantime find peace and move on from own
