Making A Decision For A Career

While growing up, there are innumerable decisions to be made and paths to take. As I am approaching the ending point of my high school career, I have finally found the correct one for me. I have known from a surprisingly young age that I wish to pursue a job in the medical field, and have taken a number of steps to help achieve this dream. I show tremendous passion for both my educational and career goals, and how to reach them. My future is incredibly important to me because through doing my job, I will also be achieving my biggest goal: saving lives.

After high school, students in the United States have various career choices to choose from. College is a place composed of numerous facets and activities, which offer a variety of avenues for the career-minded to explore, while offering growth and opportunities for advancement. A fine career choice for students to pursue in college in is marketing: planning, directing, and the coordination of marketing policies and programs.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. These interests were most likely brought to life from my desire to want to help people and learn more about the human body. The experiences I’ve had throughout my life have brought me closer to the belief that I can one day make a difference in the world through medicine. All though I am not completely decided on what I would like my future career to be, I have been able to narrow my options down to a few of the many choices available.

In order to begin my journey towards my post-secondary education, I must first finish the goal at hand which is to graduate high school. Currently, I am on course to reach my goal of graduation with a perfect unweighted 4.0 GPA. In addition, I am enrolled in my high school nursing assistant program which I will earn a certification for in June. Upon completion, I will be attending Lenoir-Rhyne University to take part in their Physician Assistant program in order to obtain my goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. I have always dreamed of having a career that will require a life-long pursuit of knowledge; medicine is constantly evolving and diseases are constantly changing, making it the perfect type of career. Due to my passion for medicine

As most kids grow up, their dream job changes all the time. One week they want to fly to the moon as an astronaut while the next week they want to rule the world as president. However, I’ve always wanted to help people by being a doctor. I would sit in front of the television mesmerized for hours by various trauma shows. I preformed surgery on my stuffed animals and diagnosed my friends and family with different fake illnesses. As I continued to grow up, I realized there is many types of jobs in the medical field that preform a variety of different services. After researching the different options, I fell in love with the idea of being a physician assistant (PA). A PA, supervised by a doctor, has the freedom to interpret tests, record progress, and diagnose patients. In order to become a PA, it takes a lot of schooling, but it is a rewarding job that I would be very good at. Ten years from now, I will be a great physician assistant due to the characteristics I already posses and the education that I will be receiving in the future.

At the age of eighteen, I will be abruptly faced with the beginning hardships of life. Along with many other responsibilities, choosing what to do after high school is a vital decision that will affect the rest of my life. Taking my desire to help others and my love of learning into consideration, I have chosen two careers to research that suit my interests and skills. A career as an elementary school teacher or physician assistant would both require me to further my education beyond high school; however, these careers have a completely different work environment and job outlook.

After graduating with my Bachelors in Science, I started to work as an Allergy Tech at a family practice based allergy clinic. It is there that I was introduced to the Physician Assistant career. I was able to observe the Physician Assistant everyday routine with the patients and witness his benevolence and empathy with every patient. Over the year, my desire for a career in the medical field grew and so did my understanding of the responsibilities of the Physician Assistant. I enjoyed working as a Clinical Allergy Specialist, but I realized I wanted more responsibility when it came to the decisions in the health of my patients. It was then that I realized that becoming a Physician Assistant would achieve that. I decided to attend graduate school first and now have a Masters in Science with the hope this will further prepare me for a Physician Assistant career.

I always knew that I wanted a career that involved helping others. Throughout the last few years I’ve gained interest in medical field after becoming more conscious of my own health. During my vacation to Belize for a family reunion last year I saw how underdeveloped the medical aid in that country is. I then realized that I could

Pursuing careers blindly based only on financial gains was a major mistake that only brought unhappiness and felt hollow and unreal to me until I discovered the existence of a physician assistant (PA) profession. Various reasons led me to a career path of a PA, but the reasons that stand out the most are a patient I encountered while volunteering at a hospital, summer I shadowed and assisted PAs, and the PA students that I met.

The process of writing this paper helped me define my future goals and objectives. Before I started this assignment, I have no idea what I want to do in the future. I always thought I will just graduate and start working. I originally have no plan of what I am going to do in the future, I kept having the mindset of I can think about this when I’m about to graduate, but through thinking of the goals and objectives, I actually managed to find out what I want to

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.

I then began my college career wanting to go to medical school. However, I never felt the drive to fully pursue being a physician, and my work ethic and grades in college suffered due to this lack of commitment. I wanted the challenge of diagnosing and successfully treating a patient, but I did not want to invest ten years of my life in pursuing the goal. I did not feel the need to study if I was not going to love what I did. Then two years ago I learned about the physician assistant (PA) profession and my entire outlook changed. A family member, who is a Registered Nurse, explained to me what a PA was, and how effective they were in the

All throughout school, students are ask what we want to be when we grow up. Many of us know or have a pretty good idea, but others have no clue what they want to pursue as a career in life, whether it be furthering their education at a university or attending a technical school. There are other students that plan to start work right out of high school. Either way we all have a plan, and the purpose of this paper is to inform you of mine. I personally struggle in making big decisions like deciding what to do with my life, but then I realized I have been asking myself the wrong questions. Instead of asking what I want to be when I grow up, I asked myself what do I want out of life? what are some of my goals that I wish to achieve? This led

I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.

Many people have a different opinion on working out. Some might say that it is “too hard” or that “it’s not for them” but, little do they know that it is much more than just working muscles in your body. Exercising is not only working on the outside but also on the inside. Exercising pushes you to do things that normal you wouldn’t want to do or think that you could do. When exercising you are working your brain in ways that it is not normal worked. Many people do not understand the importance of exercising and do not get the recommended amount of exercise. According to Centers of Disease Control (CDC), “80 percent of American adults don’t get the recommended exercise.” 323,607,375 million people live in the United States and only 80 percent exercise. As a result in regular exercise, one’s mind, attitude, and how one lives their day to day life is surprisingly affected.
