...I have never felt so accomplished in my life before; I have been waiting since every young for this day to come. I always hated school the result of its long hours behind a desk listening to a teacher lecture about a subject. The same routine for thirteen years, starting with kindergarten having to wake up early to get to school, then after school go home to do homework, and sleep. With being so eager to graduate, I never took a second to pause and just take it in to appreciate my life. Graduating high school was one of my most important goals in life; unfortunately, it went by too quick and wished there was a way to go back on this special day to relive it. At the end of the day, I could not believe I just graduated and wouldn’t have to...

...I am currently a Junior in High School, and in a few weeks my Junior year will come to a end. This previous three years of High School went by a blink of an eye, and it makes me sad that i'm going to graduate next year and start the next chapter of my life. This August i'll start my senior year. I never really thought about what interest me until I met my friends mom, whom is a psychiatrist. I got the chance to meet her and to get to know what psychiatry is all about. Thanks to her I figured out my interest and what career I wanted to go into. I am interested in becoming a anesthesiologist or a psychologist, or would like to go into something dealing with medicine, which is why I am currently in the early college at my school, graduating with my interdisciplinary studies in science. I come from this small town called Weslaco , where i've lived my whole life. I lived in Ohio for like two years then we moved with my grandparents where we lived in a ranch until i was the age of five and we moved back to weslaco ever since.

...Personal Branding Brand Paper Edward Smith MKT/421 March 29, 15 Michael Medoro Personal Branding Plan Paper My career immediately after graduating High School in 2003 started with my enlistment into the United States Army. Unfortunately in 2010 I sustained combat related injuries that forced me into early retirement after 7 years of actively serving. Although I had other career interest after graduating High School, once I was retired out of the Army using the skills and training I gained while servings left very few windows open for me to further my career as an civilian because of my injuries and restrictions that were placed on me. However, I have continued to have an interest in law enforcement, technology, and fashion which has allowed me to still have interest in working for particular companies/agencies in each field. Companies I Would Like To Work For I grew up in a law enforcement family which sparked my interest of being a police officer one day, but I never wanted to settle with just being a basic officer, my interest was mainly towards joining the higher ranks of law enforcement like The US Marshals Services (USM). According to Jacobs (2014), “established in 1789 by George Washington, the US Marshals is the oldest law enforcement agency in the country”. (para. 1). My interest in joining the marshals is because although all law enforcement agencies essentially are tasked with going after criminals and protecting citizens, the USM are assigned with going after some...

...At a young age, I lost my mother, who was about to finish college, due to cancer. Knowing that my mother’s dream is for all of her children to finish college, something inside of me made me value academics more. After graduating from high school in the Philippines, we moved to the United States of America in 2013. When I started community college, the tuition and expenses stunned me. I always wanted to earn a baccalaureate degree, but I had the idea that I will never be able to attend a four-year college or university much less go to dental school because of our financial situation. Despite what I’ve thought, I was still persistent to make the most of my community college years. I joined Phi Theta Kappa, and it completely changed my life. I...

...influenced my career decisions throughout the years. Become a Magician, Veterinarian, Psychologist and Accountant are some of various my career selections in the past 18 years. My early childhood career selection was to become a Magician. Why would I want to become a Magician? Because I read a book called “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and I was attracted by those fancy events. In the book, Mr. Wonka has the biggest candy factory in the world, and he can turn impossible things into possible situations. I always thought it would be great if I can have the same ability as him. My career decisions became more realistic while in Middle School and the High School. When I was in Middle School, I wanted to become a Veterinarian after I got my first puppy. I love dogs, and I want to make Veterinarian profession my future career. I found some information about Veterinarians in “Wiki Answers”, which indicates that “Veterinarian are required to study a Biology related major and must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from a 6 year program at an accredited college (http://wiki.answers.com). After I saw this reference website; I choose to abandon this career choice because Science is not my favor subject. After Middle School, in High School I decided that I want to become a Psychologist.

...the Future When I was younger my parents always taught my siblings and I to set individual goals for ourselves and family goals for everyone to achieve. We would each write down one or two goals on New Year’s Day and we would sit around the dinner table and read our goals to the rest of the family. After all 7 of us read our personal goad and goal for the family we then would go and put them on the fridge where they stayed for the majority of the year. When our goal(s) got accomplished we would cross it off or put a check by it. Of course when we were all younger our goals were definitely not as specific as they were when we got older. At the time I thought my parents making us do this was dumb and ridiculous but as I got older I realized what a blessing it was, and how much it truly did help in our family life, and personal life. Since I’ve had to set goals my entire life I have learned that by doing this it makes projects, assignments, daily life, etc. a lot less stressful because I know what I want to achieve, how I’m going to do it, and by when I will accomplish these goals. Goal setting is also psychologically healthy. It helps you feel more purposeful, and that can stave off a sense of stagnation and mental health issues like depression (http://vizedhtmlcontent.next.ecollege.com/pub/content/9ab3605a-5a33-4b14-8048-143db6e60251/Setting_SMART_goals.pdf).

...WHY DID I CHOOSE NURSING When I was a little girl I always dreamed of being a nurse. I would watch my mother get ready for work every night. First she would put on her scrubs, then the stethoscope, and then her id for the hospital. She would come home and speak about all of her experiences and adventures. I was inspired. I started helping my mother take care of my grandmother and from then on I knew this was my calling. My mother always said: “Alexandra, you have a nurturing spirit, and you were born to be a nurse” (Danielle Jerome). I went to Camden county college as pre-nursing major and I got to work. College wasn’t as easy as I thought and I began to become discouraged. I switched my major to mathematics education and shortly realized that nursing was the only thing I can dream about. Then I landed in Prism Career Institute for LPN license and I feel right at home. School is not easy for me but I am prepared to buckle down. I’d had a plethora of jobs in my lifetime. My first job when I was 15 was an administrative assistant in a senior day care. I absolutely loved that job. I sat at a desk, greeted guests, answered phone calls, wrote emails, and assisted the manager with anything he needed done. I learned at a very young age how to be professional and mature. After that I went to the restaurant business. I worked at Friday’s, Cracker Barrel, and Bahama Breeze just to name a few. Working in the restaurant business taught me self control, responsibility, and great customer...

...a dictionary. I often ask myself what makes me happy? Is it having fun? Is it being just happy stress free? Having a family? Maybe it is being rich, intelligent, and good looking? Or is it when you have good position on a job with a title such Manager, Supervisor, or maybe being the President of a major company or corporation? We all were happy and sad in life. We had lost lives, faith, hopes, and the list goes on and on. Each individual has different set of views when it comes to this issue of being happy because for me personally at this time of uncertainty; I would probably be happy if I achieve a goal or a dream such graduating from a university then hired for a job that guarantees a life safety. But, sometimes it difficult to figure out what we have to do in life to attain happiness. We would agree that the majority of people around the glove have a happy life, if not life would be a misery. Then why people commit suicide? I had known couple people in my family and friends that committed suicide. It is an experience you simply can’t forget as you feel their pain, anger and regrets when you hear their stories. But why they had to take their precious life? It is a question I ask myself on daily basis since I am not happy or satisfy with my current stage of life; however I wouldn’t take my life since life is a struggle and you have to battle through hardship in order to achieve the ultimate goal which is simply being happy with yourself. I must admit that I wanted to give...

...Why I decided to go back to school I would honestly have to say that my decision of going back to school has to be the most adult decision I have made. So many pros and cons were involved in this decision. Although going back to school can certainly be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, it is not a decision that I could make selfishly. A solid support structure is one of the keys to seceding in this journey. I needed to know that my fiance was willing and able to support me in the decision I made. I also needed my family’s support to know that the decision I made was the right one. A huge advantage of returning to school at an older age is that I will appreciate learning in a way that was not possible before. This life experience will give me a perspective of what life is really about. I fell like this time around I will enjoy learning and my grades will be reflective of this. I needed to complete what I set out to do when I was younger. That is why I decided to finish school and actually finish something I have started. My parents also had a big part in my decision. I know that they worked really hard for us to go to school. I know that they will be very proud to see any of us finish school and show for it. Another big denominator in my decision was how now a days you are only worth anything if you have a degree. My decision was made because I want to make something out of myself, and I know that I am capable of doing it. I don’t want to have a regular...

...Creating a Returning Student Concierge position would be beneficial for Chattahoochee Technical College Angela C. Reisen SNHU HEA 520 Abstract Chattahoochee Technical College (CTC) would benefit from having a Returning Student Concierge in several different ways. A Returning Student Concierge “is the single-point of contact at a college or university who helps returning adult students navigate the application, enrollment, and registration processes and overcome barriers to college success” (Education, 2010). Through my research, the amount of material I found on this subject was limited, but what I did find has shown me this position is well needed at CTC. Being that I work with current students on a daily basis I feel this is what our college needs to keep our retention rate up for the returning population of our student body. After reading my point of view, I hope you will be persuaded to believe in the importance of this position as well.
