society. My ideas and preferences are eccentric and not many people share them. My Myers-Briggs type, INFP, supports the Newcastle test. INFPs are overabundant in counseling, writing, and the arts careers (INFP). Another source showed that those who had NFP in their type were highly correlated with musician careers (Myers-Briggs 1962, p.23). Though I may not excel in the arts, I do appreciate them and I have the creative capacity but for something more…
“Let’s now turn our heads to chute number one, a hometown cowboy riding this magnificent bull name Chicken on a Chain.” This same phrase is heard all around the world from Rodeo Announcers.

1. Why are you interested in the Patagonia field course? Last fall, I was elated to transfer to Cornell from my community college in Ann arbor, Michigan, where I received my Associate Degree in Math and Science. At my previous college, I had so many incredible opportunities to learn about the anatomy, physiology, and obscurities of every phylum, through dissections and field work. As my knowledge and respect for wildlife and conservation grew, I was given the opportunity to be the cartographer…

There seems to be some ethical areas that individuals feel need to be changed on how humans use animals for human personal benefits. The argument supporting animal extortion and maltreatment has been the same for generations, including this view on animals used for experiments, “These benefits to humans far outweigh the costs in suffering that relatively few animals have had to endure. Society has…
Dr. Elizabeth Britt Pharm.D., that name has a ring to it does it not? Being a pharmacist has been my dream job for years. Though it took me while to decide what I wanted to do with my life, this was the only profession I have ever considered and I have not changed my mind once. I am currently attending Campbell University to pursue my goal, and am thoroughly excited about finally working towards what I have longed to do…help others. Nothing makes me anymore happier then seeing the look on ones…
for any length of time, chances are you 've heard me say this! Many, like Aunt Sandy, have told me that 's what I was born to do! Ever since I can remember I 've wanted to be a teacher. Sure, I 've had other aspirations along the way; (writer, veterinarian, physiologist, anything at Disney World, chef, the list goes on!) but, the one that truly stuck was teacher! I 'm sure this dream started in 1st grade and was heightened in 4th. My favorite teacher was Ms. Brown. She was fun, funny and I…
mighty God is.” Everyone in the once murmuring room must have guiltily apologized in their heads or said an apologetic silent prayer — it was true. That was my mindset. I don’t remember why I was never interested or passionate enough to pursue a career in an academic subject but I’m happy and grateful with the job I have now.…
“Good Country People” by using Hulga, who has a PhD in Philosophy, and Mrs. Hopewell, an individual who follows the social norm at the time, and shows that Mrs. Hopewell is disappointed with her degree as it is not a career that is known specifically to women, like a nurse, veterinarian, office assistant, etc (Smith, 1994). Other way O’Connor represents this issue is with…
as a student on my caseload enters high school, I will address the transition plan to the parents at the IEP meeting. That way we can create a plan that they believe will be beneficial and appropriate for their child early on in their high school career. Parents want the best for their child so it is important to give the parents information and resources that they can go to for any questions they might have about transitioning their child. Keeping the parents involved and having them…
you are an adult you are most likely to have a job, but are you really happy with it? Did you pick the right job? There are so many questions you ask yourself when you are an adult and they are mainly “What If’s”. What if I did not pick the right career path? What if I moved there?
