...Recently I have been using CFNC.org to gather more information about myself. Also what career I would be the best at and the careers I wouldn’t do so well in. CFNC.org gave me multiple choices to choose from. So I went through some choices like Finance and Law and public safety because those were my top two career clusters. I finally choose to do Law and public safety as a career. Based on my results CFNC.org told me that I shouldn’t do anything with agriculture, food and natural resources. But if Law and public safety doesn’t work then I should try finance. I have many options to choose from. I took a basic skills survey to see what skills I need to improve on and what skills I am the best at. Learning strategies is my highest skill. With reading comprehension coming in as a close second. My lowest result is monitoring and active learning. I now know which skills need improvement thanks to the basic skills survey....

...Since I was practically born, I’ve been asked what I want to be when I grow up. Starting with a princess when I was three, then an astronaut when I was five, to an artist when I was eight, on to a career path a bit more practical and much more realistic when I was getting older. Growing up, I have had a creative imagination, which allowed for me to play games like house, doctor, and anything I really wanted. But one thing was always clear. I was most certainly determined to help others. Out of those games, I wanted to play doctor the most. It was my favorite game considering I’d be able to “help” people. Even though I was never fixing a real injury, besides putting on the occasional bandaid, I felt like helping people through the medical field...

...The road narrow and crooked is not an easy path as one would expect. The decision to follow through is that of a dribbling ball, bouncing between a hand and the solid ground until choosing a course forward. However, it is not without obstacles and step backs. Thus describes my educational endeavors thus far. My education is a list of many beginnings that merge together developing who I am as person academically and professionally. From career contemplations to taking a nontraditional route, I found a path forwards toward my future. Career contemplations is a persistent reminder since elementary school. Such plans are rarely set in stone. Graduating from middle school laid the first stepping stone towards my future. Scrapping the idea of childhood...

...Being social is also a good thing to be because you will have to interact with other doctors and talk to them about the diagnosis, etc. I am a good problem solver and I enjoy talking to others so I think this would be a good job for me. This job is challenging, which can be fun and it is also very rewarding because you get the satisfaction of helping others that may have a disease or is injured.

...At the age of 19, I began my journey to becoming a nurse. I enrolled at Jersey College School of Nursing, Fall of 2014 and by the age of 20, I was working in a family practice clinic as a Licensed practical nurse. After working in the clinic for a year and a half I decided I wanted to explore different parts of nursing, which is when I transferred to a urology office. As an LPN, I have been motivated by the patient care that I provide to pursue further education and I am currently pursuing an RN degree. Working as an RN would allow me to have a wider scope of practice, improve my quality of care and allow me to practice for many years due to the high demand. I have gained so much experience working as an LPN, from performing my first set...

...inspired to pursue such field when I was told by one of my summer teachers’ recommended me a possible career in psychology and sociology because of the amount of effort I put into my work. I fairly enjoyed these subjects and decided to read books related to psychological illness such as the Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat which contain many studies of certain psychological illnesses. I also have researched illnesses such as PTSD and what are its root. The more I read, the more I was intrigued by such topics. When I found out that the school offered an AP psychology course, I immediately signed up for it. By taking this class and AP exam, it will allow me to skip the 101 Psychology that is taught in college to beginners and will allow me to move ahead. I decided that I will go into therapeutics and talk to others that have either a social issue or mental illness and try to solve it through modern psychoanalysis. To further my knowledge of therapeutics, I decided to base my SCE on interaction with children and study how they find certain fields such as STEM interesting and how it may impact their future career path. By doing so, this will mimic a possible career situation I may have in the future. Thus, going to Emory will allow me to obtain the knowledge and what I have already done will reinforce those pillars of knowledge that will allow me to successfully pursue a career...

...In retrospect, one of the most critical factors that inspired me to seek a career is the quote by Andrew Carnegie, “Anything in life worth having is worth working for.” I incorporated this principle into my individual value system, vowing that I will work with vigor to accomplish life endeavors. My contact with pharmaceutics commenced early, which is because my family owns a non-profit pharmacy where I have worked and volunteered. However, growing up in Bangladesh, a pharmacist was a civilian without any formalized training who owned a pharmacy and sold medication. Hearing about a different concept to pharmacy in 2010, science fair at my university sparked my interest. After that I did a lot of research on this new career and attended open...

...In my current years of high school, my family was suddenly despaired with debts and credits. As of now, I live with my mother who barely makes a little bit more than minimum wage, tending to my every need. While manifesting in this time of stress, I had taken it upon myself to help my mom financially, even if it meant just paying for the electric or gas bill. Instead of grabbing a drink or watching a movie with my friends, one would find me working in a tutoring center or serving as a barista behind a tea house.While balancing school work, extracurriculars and part time jobs I developed a more conscious and focused mission: to pursue a career where I am able to utilize my abilities in a professional environment. My dedication to all my commitments...
