How Does The Program Match Your Future Goals

How does the program match your future goals? Among my previous academic studies, I chose the pathway of Early Childhood Education, which I completed last year in 2023 at Florida International University. I pursued this degree with the intent to further expand my career and knowledge, leading to the pathway of becoming a BCBA. I have worked with children in the last few years and my passion to help children with their daily rituals and behavioral interventions has expanded throughout the years. During my experience as a counselor back in 2018-2019, my task was to guide students in an aftercare setting, inclusion among all students when doing activities, and guiding them with their educational tasks. During this experience, I realized that I

Within this experience, observing how RBT’s and BCBA’s have marked a difference in each child’s lives has also made me realize this is the most suitable career pathway for me.

These categories will be beneficial for me in the expansion of my knowledge and career overall and will be supportive in regard to having more skills for my upcoming career. Moreover, I identify myself as an active learner and highly committed, especially when it relates to accomplishing my goals in general and academic goals, I am dedicated to working hard to achieve them. I am also aware that all programs have its challenges, and I am ready to give it my all as I always have at FIU.
