Career Goal Paper

Decent Essays
The population I most enjoy working is the ageing. I've volunteered at various care facilities for the past five years. At Timberhill Place, I predominantly talk with the residents on how their lives are going and what their aspirations are. Considering my career goal is to become an occupational therapist, having time to spend speaking with a population that often utilizes occupational therapy is very very valuable. In addition to this, I simply enjoy talking with the elderly. They're so nice.
