Statement Of Purpose: A-HEC Of A Summer

It is a honor to be admitted to be considered for the National Junior Honor Society. Over my first months at Hickory Creek middle school, I had heard about the national junior honors society. In the beginning, I thought to myself, What is this junior honor society? I wonder what they do. Over the course of the winter I found out how the NJHS helps give back to the community and helps its member succeed academically.This things stood out to me because I try to excel academically while, giving back to people and I feel that I meet the standards to join the NJHS.

Through this program I have gained so much knowledge. Being a student in this program for two years has been a blessing. It has allowed me to get hands on patient care as a junior and experience five different careers to begin to rule out what careers are not right for me. Now as a senior, I have been able to have a year long internship at McLaren Bay Region in the Emergency Room. I have learned so many skills like blood glucose monitoring, electrocardiograms, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While being in this program I have truly found my passion for emergency medicine. This program has given me opportunities that most high school students don't have the chance to experience. The Health Technology Program has also prepared me for college. This program allowed me to write a career summary on my future career to explain what the job is, types of work and possible places of employment. I also wrote out a career plan. This made me sit down and plan out all of my classes for each semester at college and see how much it will cost. This has made me more aware of the importance of being aware what classes I need to take and what ones are not important. This class there is always something to do and it is important to write down due dates so all assignments are turned in on time. This really allowed me to prepare for college and understand the importance of

Throughout this course, my mind was opened to several healthcare careers which I was unaware of before. For the careers that I did know about, this course still did a great job at informing me of the professions on a deeper level. After reviewing the lectures and careers, I feel strongly about pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy. More specifically, I want to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. This was a career that I had in mind when I began the course and I have been interested in it for about two years now. Occupational Therapy Assistants need to be sociable, compassionate, flexible, and enjoy problem solving. I believe I will enjoy this profession because my personality matches with all of these things.

I joined HOSA freshmen year, looking for opportunities to explore new things and develop new friendships. I was hoping to expand my knowledge about health care careers in a fun and interactive setting, HOSA provided me with just that. HOSA gave me with the platform, which I was looking for to improve my knowledge about the health science field. I was able to compete at the state level in Greensboro, and at the national level in Nashville. For me, attending these competitions provided me with an experience that greatly increased my interest and knowledge of the medical field. Becoming a HOSA district officer would enable me to further enrich my experiences by becoming a better leader and communicator, by sharing my experiences with younger students who are interested in joining the health care field, and grants me to have a bigger impact in HOSA and in my community. Becoming a HOSA district officer will allow me to improve myself as well as bettering the lives of others.

As two new co-advisors step up to lead HOSA, Health Occupations Students of America, Lisa Cardillo and Sarah Brink do their best to assist the club. The goal of HOSA is to introduce health careers to students, for the hope to enhance future health care. Students who are interested in the health related fields can benefit from joining the club since HOSA allows them to have an opportunity to shadow health professionals. Being dedicated towards the club and having motivation to lead, Cardillo and Brink use their experiences to help guide students to find their passion. Familiarizing themselves on how HOSA runs is a challenge for the new co-advisors; however, other obstacles that they have to face are planning field trips, and helping students

A lot of people set a challenge to improve. By setting a challenge, individuals work hard, asking for help and advice from experienced advisors. Challenges motivate people and keep them working hard. The most significant challenge I have faced was getting a full scholarship into the private school, American Heritage High School in Plantation. This challenge was crucial for me because I came to United States in the middle of sixth grade. I went to Falcon Cove Middle School, and the school placed me in regular classes within the ESOL program. The ESOL program is a program designed for foreign students who do not speak English well. I got out of the program once I passed the placement test to the Cambridge program. In middle school, I won a variety

I am interested in being a part of the Camp MD program because I really love the medical field and I want to make new friends there who share the same thought towards the medical field as me. Anything and everything medical related has always been so fascinating to me ever since I was a little kid. It has had my eye because my family was always at the hospital dealing with surgeries, chemo treatments, and illnesses. And I thought it was cool how the doctors were able to help those who were sick and dying. In school, I have taken a medical terminology class in order to help get me started with the medical field, and next year I will be taking an anatomy and physiology class along with a CNA class to help pay for schooling. I am wanting to become

I believe I would be a wonderful addition to the Early Introduction to Health Careers Program because I am very interested in learning more about the medical field and having a hands on experience. I plan on attending the University of Michigan in the fall of 2019 and majoring in biochemistry. I would like to college at the University of Michigan because I am an aspiring cardiothoracic surgeon and their medical school was ranked number four in the US by U.S. News for primary care. The Early Introduction to Health Careers Program will be an amazing experience for me and will help me to gain more knowledge about the profession I am interested in.

It is my first time to have this kind of course where everyone can learn and experience interacting with other students of the health care team. I believe this is an important program where a student can have an in-depth understanding of the other professions. It gives them a sense of

I feel that attending the Summer Institute will help me decide if I really want to go into healthcare and possibly what speciality I’m most interested in. It will also help me get a more in depth experience of what medical school is

The UNMC Health Alliance will offer me the opportunity to be exposed to skills that will benefit me in the future. This program is the perfect way for me to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people who have the same aspirations as I do. I also get a combination of classroom lectures and hands on experiences, which isn’t available in a high school setting. Hands on experiences are what interests

The high school began participating in this program for several years. It is a selective program and I was not surprised when she was chosen out of a large group of applicants. Through this program she has been able to vastly expand her knowledge of leadership, while working together with students from other communities. Participating in the program is one example of Alexis’s ability to look beyond the walls of the high school for opportunities. When Alexis was looking for opportunities to increase her knowledge and skills in the medical field, she again looked beyond the walls of high school. Alexis was chosen through a selective screening process to be a volunteer at St. Francis Hospital where she worked this past summer. She worked on Mondays and Fridays in the Maternity and Neonatal wings. She knew this would both fulfill her goal of increasing her medical knowledge in preparation of pursuing a career in the medical field along with giving her the ability to increase her ability to help others. I was not surprised to hear of her successful experiences and know she will be an asset to the nursing profession. Alexis is extremely well organized, and as a result, nothing in her life suffers due to her various commitments both in and outside of

At the time I was taking art class as my elective, but I started becoming interested in health. I found I was doing very well in classes like biology and anatomy and I became interested in a career in Dermatology, especially when I discovered Dr. Sandra Lee, also known as Dr. Pimple Popper. This is when I decided to join the Health Academy pathway. Health Academy has furthered my education and given me incredible opportunities. It has taught me many useful things like understanding medical terminology, how to do vital signs, and becoming CPR certified. We also have guest speakers come in and talk about working in the medical field. It’s inspiring and interesting to hear their stories about how they found their

Medicine is a vast field. I have taken various health science classes over the past three years that have given me a brief overview of medicine and physiology. However, I believe that a summer experience at Summer Ventures would allow me to gain a better understanding of science by immersing myself in research and other learning opportunities. During my sophomore year of high school I took AP Psychology to complement my schedule. I wasn’t very serious about the course in the beginning, but over time I found myself becoming really intrigued with the subject. Moreover, I have been left with a lasting desire to learn more about the brain and the human body. An opportunity to do research on a topic such as the health sciences would not only provide

My interest to participate in the summer immersion program comes from the passion that I have for caring for the vulnerable populations and my inheriting love for helping others. From the beginning of my nursing education, providing healthcare to vulnerable populations in different settings healthcare has always been important to me. I believe access to quality healthcare is a right that every person should have. My belief of healthcare for everyone has been my motivation for pursuing a career as a nurse practitioner (NP). I would like the opportunity to fulfill healthcare needs in people who do not have access to healthcare in low in come communities and countries by providing them
