I have always tended toward helping those who are the underdogs or that are struggling with issues. I find it easy to understand people and I believe that insight would make Neuropsychology the perfect career choice for me. In my mother's case I believe it is her attitude toward her illness that has kept her in such good health. For the aforementioned reason she is well on her way to becoming the oldest surviving person with Fanconi's and also why I find such amazement in the relationship between biology, the chemistry that goes with it and…
I researched 5 different career options that I could see myself doing in the future. I love kids so I researched an elementary teacher, a special education teacher, and a pediatric nurse. I also like to make a difference in people's lives so I researched a speech pathologist and a lawyer. All these careers require different levels of college education and all have different schools that are top in each certain career.…

During my high school years I have developed other skills such as leadership abilities, communication skills, and dedication. Using the skills I have gained through my years I plan on becoming a high school art teacher.…
Initially, I came into my undergraduate studies at St. Ambrose University looking to become an Occupational Therapist, but that goal changed once I began my undergraduate coursework. Towards the end of a semester of research methods, I became fascinated with statistics and the process of research. In biopsychology classes, I learned how wonderful and sometimes cruel the human mind could be. Occupational Therapy suddenly seemed less interesting and I began to look more seriously at pursuing a different path, more in line with the amazing things I was learning about psychology, research, and the brain.…
Nursing is often referred as the art and science of person centered care, that's why Indiana University is the school that will help me meet my goals of being a Registered Nurse. With a bachelor's degree in nursing that will help me excel in critical thinking and use the skills I learned from Indiana University everyday in my line of work. I will be majoring in Nursing reason being that nursing is a special skill that you learn the overall concept from books and class, but it's not universal for all people that's the reason it's a person centered care and nursing is individualized to a specific person and taking care of their overall needs being physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs in their way to recovery and health. In addition to my academic goals at Indiana University, I plan on pursuing activities and clubs related to my interests and to be an active member on campus and to form friendships with others that have…
My main goal and the reason I am attending college is to achieve my objective of becoming a speech pathologist. To get more insight in becoming a speech pathologist I had decided to interview the speech pathologist at the school my mom teaches at. During my interview Ms. Sebastian had constantly brought up the amount of time and effort I must give to school in order to succeed. Though she constantly brought up how much time and effort I must give that is not my golden line, my golden line would be when she had told me even though the process of becoming a speech pathologist takes a while the end goal is worth it. Begin able to help a child talk correctly always makes you feel so amazing and the feeling is worth the hours of school.…
Many students have unique incentives for choosing their major while others are rather straight forward. I believe mine is a combination of the two. Ever since I was young, I demonstrated an interest in the dental field. Teeth were always the very first thing I noticed about a person, including myself. When my adult teeth started to come in, there was so much overcrowding that my canine teeth were growing in my upper gums.…
My part of the project discusses choosing a major and finding a career and it’s great to find a source that discusses choosing a major because you love it, not because you want a “successful well-off” career. So I believe that this article will provide a different perspective to my project. (206…
Public schools provide students with more support than most public schools do during the school year. Speech Language Pathologist makes a big impact in children's lives but they are not always provided in every school, they are mostly provided in a public school. A lot of kids aren't provided with a speech therapist because there parent don't even know that they need one. Usually what happens when a child needs a speech therapist is that he or she gets recommended by there school or there doctor recommends them to take a few test to see if they qualify to be added to a class that will help them. Schools that often take students in that will meet with a child's needs when it comes to being provided with a speech therapist.…
After high school, I felt rushed to decide on a degree and chose Nursing on a whim, after a year of doing basics I decided to research all the degree choices Texas State University had to offer.

My overall goal is to become a speech-language pathologist who is compassionate, organized, resourceful, and collaborative.…
Going to LSU means extending my learning. Most students would give up after or during high school. It is also a second chance of learning. College will also introduce me to the “real world.” I intend to be intentional about learning.…
Evaluation of Mission Statement The primary mission statement of the social work profession is distinguishable from any other profession. The mission statement defines the purpose of social work and uses a universal key element. The universal key element is help because from the first day of a social work course, students learn that social work is a helping profession. The purpose of social work is to provide help whenever needed.…
I was also able to decipher which majors I would best fit my skills and personality. This led me to narrow down my choice of majors to accounting and finance. I choose finance because it provides me with the ability to use my skills in analysis and technology. Some of the careers associated with the finance major also allow me to travel, which is also something I am interested in. Since I am not interested in being at a job where I perform the same tasks every day, accounting was not the right major for me.…
I majored in Public Health, because I simply wanted to help make somebody else life a little more better. I knew since I was little that I wanted to be somewhere in the health field, but I was not sure where. Hands on medicine I knew I couldn’t handle, so that just left me working behind the scene, but still saving somebody life. With this degree I could work at so many jobs at the government or non-government organization level.…
My chosen major is Computer Science with a business concentration. I have always had an affinity for computers. It seems like on some level they speak to me and I wanted to learn how to speak back in their language. I also am a pretty big gamer and learning how to write and design games is something I have wanted to learn since I was about thirteen years old. Another reason I want to major in computer science is the ongoing proliferation of Internet connected devices and devices with single chip computers in them [1].…
