I graduated with a Bachelors in Accounting at Mount Saint Mary College in 1997 and I worked in banking for 15 years. I worked 5 years in New York and 10 years in Florida. I have a daughter, now 19 and in Valencia pursuing a career in teaching. I wanted to have a career change that would benefit myself as well as my daughter and I was interested in something in the medical field.
Q2 Leadership Competency: Self-Awareness Self-awareness is a key attribute to look for when identifying successful future doctors. Physicians must not only be able to effectively evaluate ideas from external sources, but also be able to look in the mirror and critique themselves so that they may continue to grow. This requires the ability to accurately reflect on one’s own preconceptions, prejudices, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as the feedback they receive from others to change unconstructive behaviors and attitudes. Since getting to college, I have made sure that I take time at the end of each day to reflect on my accomplishments as well as areas that I came up short so that I can work to better myself the following day. I value other’s
This element is the characters need for real progress in their lives, and the desire to create stability in a culture that appears always to be falling down-as if the government is made up of contractors, construction workers, and architects bond and determined to stay busy. Unfortunately, Norma Jean shares her mother’s reluctance to indulge in idealism as she touts the party line, “You have to find a job first. Nobody can afford to build now anyway” (Mason 8). Mabel turns the line of conversation to an old line, encouraging the couple to visit the Civil War battleground of Shiloh.
The journey from being homeless to Harvard graduate proves that practice and determination changed her life and she learned good lessons from her experience. Leaving her boyfriend was one of them. Gladwell’s practical intelligence can be seen in Murray’s life too. It helped her to read the situation carefully and take the correct decision at the right time. Further, Angela Duckworth’s theory of grit can also be applied to Murray’s life, she staying with her dreams and achieved her target in life.
In Spanish Lessons by Christine Marin, encountered a similar obstacle in which not only her education and language were being tested, but her ability of not being able to communicate with others is what made her want to empower and strengthen her knowledge. In her essay, “Homemade Education”, Christine Marin describes how her difficulty in communicating with customers was a struggle because she was not able to respond back in her native tongue, which was Spanish. This made her want to improve her ability of communicating and practiced the language even more (161). Both Malcolm X and Marin similarities demonstrate that there is always a solution to
I reviewed the degree plans at Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU) and came across social work. I researched social work and discovered this was a better career path to serve and help make a difference on a small or larger scale. My professional background in the medical field began when I became a nurse’s assistant at sixteen. During my time at the nursing home, I grew fond of working with geriatrics. My empathy developed healthy and quickly as I became friends with the residents who did not have visitors.
Nurses (both Licensed Vocational Nurses and Registered Nurses) make up the largest part of the health care, and have greater opportunities practicing in different disciplines and departments. In Black’s Professional Nursing, he states, “the profession of nursing is more than ever requiring the education of well-trained, flexible, and knowledgeable nurses who can practice in today’s evolving health care environment.” (Black, 2017, p.1). There are different reasons that influenced my decision of seeking a Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN). Flash back to when I relocated to United States in 2011, my goal was getting into a pre-pharmacy program, then get into a pharmacy school.
Politics is something that will continually affect me day in and day out and is vastly interesting to me. If I could run someone’s campaign, write political news, or really be in any room where political affairs happen I’d love every second of what I do. My main goal overall is to be a lawyer and the law and government tie directly into each other. Which is why i think a great undergraduate degree is political science. I try to be as realistic as possible in most situations, I know college is not going to be easy especially with the major that chose me.
I feel that my experiences will both help and hinder me, in a sense I have a deep understanding of what many people whom will need a social worker are going through, but because of this I will also have a harder time ensuring I do not over relate than some of my fellow classmates will. I have not made a decision on what branch of Social Work I actually want to go into, as of right now I am open to anything. Although I have already decided that as soon as I graduate with a Bachelor’s degree I will apply for graduate school to obtain my Master’s
My purpose of choosing this topic is because it is related to our university life and future. This essay will be able to tell other students that bachelor’s degree is certainly important and an investment that you won’t regret it. Quite a number of student do not understand the reason to pursue a bachelor’s degree, and with a lot of example that a degree may not earn more than a diploma or drop-out student, story of Jack Ma and Bill Gates will certainly affect a lot of students. To be like Jack Ma and Bill Gates, you will need to put in a lot of effort and self discipline which most people lack of. Stop dreaming and start dedicating your life in reality.

The financial analyst, I would need to continue on my path to completing my bachelor’s degree and receive my master’s degree.
Humanity needs to change before all information is censored. In “College at Risk,” Andrew Delbanco discusses liberal learning and the “whole person” that may not be developed in college due to a lack of income. Liberal learning develops the “whole person” by teaching the basic ethics and morals a person should have. Anne Applebaum presents examples of censorship in her essay, “The Decline of American Press Freedom.” She uses China and Yale to make the point that differing forms of censorship are doing more harm than good.
Barbara said her advice to a class of college students would be to study as hard as possible and learn all you can so you can get a good job later in life so then you wont have as many things to worry about like money, and being let go from a job over your lack of knowledge. Personal Reflections: Personally interviewing Barbara, my grandmother and getting details on her life has given me a feel of how it will be to grow older and watch the world change. Her view of life and how she handled her marriages and raised her children has put a goal in my head of how I want to be a devoted wife and caring mother to my husband and children in the future. Also how she is so devoted to church and just craving each day to be more and more like Christ and working to do so is such an inspiration to
In his article, Mark Edmundson discusses an ever increasing problem orbiting around university education– the misconception that studying something that could land you a high paying job trumps studying something that you love for the sole reason that you wouldn’t be able to earn as high as an income with that field of study. Edmundson also brings up the fact that before students get to college, they’re being told who they all their lives. Whether it be by their parents, their teachers, coaches —whoever, by the time most people get to that next step of their lives they don’t have their own definition of who they are. And that’s Edmundson argues what the main point of college is; discovering who you are and what you love. It’s not about preparing
