...Making a choice about a personal career can be very difficult. Most kids go through millions of choices before they actually stick with one career. My first career choice is to become a Pediatrician. Like many other children I wanted to be a million and one things in life, but when I chose to become a pediatrician it was glued to my brain. I chose this career because I love children and I want to do anything I can to help them. Children are our future, so we need Pediatricians to take care of them and make sure they don’t have any life threatening illnesses. A pediatrician is a medical practitioner who specializes in children and their diseases. Pediatrics started to become a specialty in the 20th century. In the 1980s Pediatricians began a subspecialty called adolescent medicine which deals with special medical and emotional needs of people between ages twelve and twenty-one. They are trained to recognize congenital defects, such as cleft lip, cleft palate, club feet, and many more and to treat them as soon as possible. Pediatricians handle infectious diseases that are that are found in childhood...

...What I found interesting about this interview, is that the parent was explaining to her sons that I was doing a research paper on their disability of their sight, and that I was going to ask them some questions, the oldest son said that he did not have a disability. Another detail that I found interesting is that, the parent said that even though the teachers are aware of her oldest son’s lack of vision, and there was legal documentation some general education teachers were not sensitive to her son’s inability to see, and the teachers would thing that they were just being lazy. I also found it interesting is that she not perceive that anything was abnormal with both her sons’ sight before they attended pre-school, and that she believed that it was part of her sons’ personalities and was putative of them....

...Workplace Definition Paper: Being a Doctor A doctor is a person trained in the art of healing and certified to practice. A doctor can be a physician, veterinarian, physician, or dentist. For many years, a doctor has been one of the most revered members of society. Sages of native tribes were respected for their comprehension of the healing art. The general practitioner not only treated patients but also offered guidance and counseling. That seems to have changed in our today’s society. The relationship between a doctor and a patient represents a personal contact between two exclusive individuals. Good doctors care about their patients. Doctors must talk and pay attention to their patients. The tool bag of a doctor cannot miss a pressure cuff, which is used for taking blood, a tape measure, a patella hammer used for checking reflexes, an otoscope for checking ears, and a stethoscope used for listening to body sounds. As expected doctors interact with patients and as such the communication or language between them is vital. The social distance between a patient and a doctor should be greater than that of a secretary and a manager. A secretary and a manager are individuals who normally work together on a regular basis, and in fact, in many offices, contact between them is often friendly or even informal. On the contrary, a patient and a doctor have less regular contact. Moreover, a doctor has a prevailing position compared to the patient. A doctor can specialize...

There are so many choices, so many different aspects to consider. Money, the job setting, and how a specific job will affect family life. Growing up I thought about many different options, such as being a professional, specifically a pediatrician, becoming a track star, and owning my own restaurant show the different extremes I have thought about. For the time being though I am fairly certain on my current decision to major in childhood education and become a grade school teacher. In the future, I also hope to one day own my own place, either a preschool or grade school. Becoming a grade school teacher has always had an appeal to me. When I was in 2nd grade I would watch my teacher, Mrs. Brooks, sitting at her desk grading papers and think to myself “I would like to do that someday”. I’m not sure what it was about this action that attracted me. Perhaps it had to do more to do with the teacher herself, who had a lasting impression on me. Mrs. Brooks had that quality that is vital in every childhood teacher; she had the ability to connect with her student and to communicate with them in a childlike way. Instead of being a...

...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research.

...think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our nice big house, white picket fence, and dog in the backyard. We also want to be happy. These next few paths are ways I might be able to achieve both. I have many different possible interests when it comes to my future. I hope to attend a four year college, and after graduation attend graduate school. Having gone to small schools my entire life, I prefer a small school. I am looking for a school with a tuition under $30,000, but would not rule out schools that aren’t significantly over my budget. I am open to the thoughts of leaving home, yet I am not sure I would survive on my own. None of preferences are set in stone and I am willing to try and consider new possibilities. When it comes to careers and majors, I have considered becoming a pediatrician, orthodontist, pharmacist, or being an english major. After researching all of my options, I became even more interested in pharmacy. A pharmacist helps in the treatment of disease. They advise...

...Doctor In kindergarten, my class was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Crayons danced across sheets of paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze, and astronauts leaping across the moon, careers that were seen as typical dreams of five year olds. My picture showed a girl throwing a ball in the air, being a professional athlete, but as you can see my point of view of my future has changed. Now I want to be doctor because I want to cure cancer and do the impossible by helping people and not just work out and play my whole life. A question could be asked like why choose to be a doctor and not a professional athlete, well I believe a doctor can make a change, inspire people, be a leader and etc. Being a doctor you have to be able to be a directive, supportive, coaching, and delegating leader. A directive leader finds aspects to positively acknowledge and give direction, and ensures that those under their management understand what is expected of them in which a doctor must do his or her colleagues or patients. He or she must be able to coaxes ideas from those working under them, listens and encourages, and keeps the decision making process collaborative by asking open questions. They also have to be capable to find topics to praise, lead with novel ideas, explain the rationale...

...perspectives. The major perspectives represent fundamental assumptions that underlie the research questions and methods that are used in order to answer the questions of psychology. Most all perspectives define psychology as the discipline interested in studying human behavior and mental processes, but that covers a lot of ground and the causes of behavior and mental processes are not always clear. Why People Behave the Way They Do There are many areas of psychology. The field of human development is divided into different theory groups. The groups that will be discussed in this paper are psychodynamic, biological, cognitive, and behavioral. Each theory group has many contributing theorists, all with different views, beliefs, research methods, and life experiences. All theories are valuable in the field of psychology, however some theories may prove to be more helpful than others, in specific careers. The psychodynamic theory of human development’s main focus is personality and social development. It is based on the belief that the mind is divided into two parts, the conscious and the unconscious. The theorist’s believe that development occurs in stages, for one to develop a healthy and positive personality or identity all stages must be completed successfully. Sigmund Freud is a major contributor to the field of psychology; he developed the id, ego, and superego, which are described as three elements of personality. Freud believed development...
