My Academic And Career Goals In The Medical Field

Improved Essays
1) My academic and career goals are set around the medical field. I want to finish my nursing degree and hopefully work for a great hospital/clinic that will give me the opportunity to grow and advance with them. I came about this career goal because of my own conditions. A few years ago I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and it woke me up. I have an eleven years old daughter and being diagnosed made me think twice about what I should be doing with my life and how i should spend my days. I had great medical staff giving me advice and helping me cope with it. And with that I had a daughter who encouraged me to be better and to do better, so I decided I wanted to be a person who helps people every single day and my passion for the medical …show more content…
I currently have a part time job and also a work study at school. With raising a kid as well as going to school it doesn’t really leave anytime for me to work many hours. My bills are higher than what I make. I have been getting help from my family when I am short on the month and they have been great to me. Getting this scholarship would cut down on my educational bills and give me the chance to pursue my goals and dreams of becoming a nurse. Having to pay for my own classes has had a negative impact on my educational gals because it has limited the amount of classes I can take per semester, and I really would love to go to school full time and finish my degree earlier instead of take one or two classes per …show more content…
I started to get a group of people who can come together once a week to study and get helped in the tutoring center. As a student worker, I have many new friend that I meet each day and learn how to connect with students and enjoy our time together. I remember my dad used to help out the community with my sibling one a month to clean up the neighborhood with other few people that lives nearby my parents’ house. One day, my dad was at work and they came to ask if he could help. He wasn’t home so I tried to help out. It felt good to clean up the environment and so I decided to keep helping them every month. So many people that live there thank me every time I clean up their area, It felt good to help the older that cannot help themselves. It also looks good and feel good when the environment we live in is clean and in good condition. I love to help and get along with people. Team work makes a dream

    Jacob Hiatt Magnet School

    I am helping out at the Jacob Hiatt Magnet School in a 4th grade class. Every week for 2 hours I am able to help students with their classroom activities. At the beginning, I use to just go around in class and help the students when they need help. Now, the teacher has me take the one or two students who are struggling and sit outside with them to help them catch up. This helps them to be able to be on the same page as everyone else and it makes it easier for the teacher as well because it gets really hard for one teacher to be able to keep everyone at the same page and finish the course material on time.…

    Full Ride Scholarship

    I feel like I am a good candidate for this scholarship because, as a senior, any and all money earned and received will help me ease the burden of attending college. My goal throughout my whole childhood was to receive a full ride scholarship to the college of my dreams; however, as time has gone on and I have matured I have come to the realization that, that dream is not as achievable as I once believed it to be. I have worked hard, inside and outside of the classroom, making the grades and creating the resume that colleges are looking for, and in response I have been offered tuition waivers. Which ultimately means I am still responsible for paying for my books, room and board, part of the tuition cost, and mandatory fees.…

    An elderly woman who got to take part in a high school community service project states, “Many think that volunteering is all about what you give. But what catches you by surprise is how much you receive in return.” This demonstrates why many people do not feel that they should give back because they do not believe the benefits that they can get from it as well. Consequently, when creating that feeling of happiness and satisfaction in someone else’s life, it comes back to the person creating it. Volunteering to help someone get tutored, help the handicapped, involve themselves with a program like Meals on Wheels, certain environmental work, etc., not only does one gain from that, but one’s community has been helped because of them.…
