Long Term Career Goals

496 Words2 Pages

My long-term career goals are to earn a Masters degree in Public Policy and go to law school where I will then become a public interest lawyer, helping my community positively on a local level. Using my background in public policy, I then plan on pursuing a career in policy making so I can gain a platform to address the issues surrounding race and education on a more meaningful level. Within my careers, I am committed to fight to make our society a more just place and have a positive impact in my community, especially for people of color. One of the ways I want to do this is by creating a program that helps redesign the educational experience of young people of color to effectively educate them and prepare them for higher education and beyond. Some of my goals have influenced others, but they are all interconnected because they revolve around my passion for education and public service, which stem from my upbringing in my community. …show more content…

I have had, and continue to have, many mentors and supporters throughout my life, which is why I feel it is my responsibility to live a life a service- to be able to give back as much as I have been given and more. One of my biggest supporters is my mother. Her support and conviction about the worth of obtaining an education has shaped my beliefs, values and aspiration to continue higher education and use my career in a progressive way to give back to my community. I want to achieve these career goals so that I am able to provide better opportunities to minorities who come from similar backgrounds. I hope that through my career, I am able to become a role model for them and show them how an effective education can be used to overcome challenges and propel them to be successful. I believe that by building a sense of community, we can all succeed

I hope to bring diversity to all who walk on the campus. My background has shaped me into the intelligent African American woman I am today. Without growing up in the “hood”, I may have not been able to find the best career that interested me. I also would not have been able over all the challenges thrown at me. Instead I remained determined and motivated so that I was able to achieve all of the goals set before me.

Just as with many of my previous academic moments it continued the drive I had already had. While my education continued to teach me valuable lessons and give me hands on experience I began to gain a stronger sense rooted in development and the protection of others by hopefully continuing my education at Loyola University Chicago in the Masters of Social Work/Masters of Arts in Social Justice Program which would give me the opportunity to not only eventually become a social worker with the Department of Social Services (DSS), with a school, or a guardian ad litem but to do that work effectively with the chance that would be afforded to me of an academic background steeped in social work as well as social justice teachings. This program in particular continues the undergraduate work and furthers my education on my path to my

I was fortunate to have a strong and loving family support system and a nurturing community that came together for my benefit. Whether it is through mentoring, tutoring or volunteering with youth events, I strive to provide the same support for the younger members of my family and community. I believe there is truth in the saying that children learn what they live, and I see it every time I work with young children. Therefore, it is my goal to someday be the kind of positive and influential role model for children that I was blessed with. I was raised to believe that you don’t make decisions in life based just on what you want to do, but rather on how you can help others and better the world around you.

In America, community is essential to the growth and prosperity of the nation. Without community, individuals cannot grow, and without individuals getting involved, communities cannot grow. A real sense of community is what makes our nation strong. We come together and support each other, whether it be in times of prosperity, or times of great need. Thinking of this, I am reminded of the times that our nation has rallied, and we have come together as one.

My long-term career goals include working in the field of eating disorders as both a researcher and clinician. As a researcher, I plan to primarily investigate the etiology of this disorder, specially the biological and environmental facets. This will involve exploring the genetics of the thin-ideal internalization, the role of psychosocial influences (e.g., media exposure), and heritability of eating disorders. Additionally, I seek to evaluate treatment measures and their outcomes in hopes of constructing a comprehensive model of care to properly address every aspect of the individual and their disorder. Through my research, I hope to contribute to the field and utilize my findings to become a more effective clinician.

In the words of the famous French philosopher, Rene Descartes, “It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.” This quote rings true for me, as it does for many others. I decided to double major in philosophy, because my time here at Oklahoma State illustrated how important it is to not only to study various subjects, but to employ this knowledge through critical thought and logical reason to all aspects of my life. My study of philosophy, at Oklahoma State, allows me to better assess the beliefs I hold, in light of a variety of perspectives from modern and classic philosophy.
