Resident Assistants serve many purposes and play many roles in the community. They help to build and promote a supportive and active community within their residence hall and across the campus, and offer support and guidance to their residents. This aids in making Geneseo feel more like home and a community rather than simply a school. RAs enforce Geneseo and Department of Student Life rules, while also being a more easily accessible and less intimidating resource to other students in need of help. I want to be an RA so that I can become more involved in the Geneseo community in a positive way, by helping and representing other students.
My first experience with the healthcare field was not as a sophomore in high school, I was preparing to add classes to my schedule for the following year and a friend recommended that I take the CNA course at the Jordan Applied Technology Center (JATC). I decided to apply, and the spring semester of my junior year, I was in the program. My professor was very kind and emphasized how working in the healthcare field is different from every other career path because our purpose is to help others. Therefore, as I studied to become a nursing assistant, I was able to realize that I enjoyed devoting my life to serving those around me. That was when I had my first experience with healthcare and when I decided, I wanted to become a healthcare professional.
Blending a background in youth leadership and a steep learning curve as a professional in Healthcare Information Systems analysis, I am looking to establish myself in a diverse and dynamic company like yours, whose work culture will help me realize my potential in the long run. I am a Bioinformatics Engineer, with 2 years of experience as an Asst. Business IS Analyst, currently pursuing my graduate studies in Management Information Systems at UB, with a focus on Healthcare. I have experience with many global community focused, Healthcare focused projects and technology oriented teams, which has helped me develop a good understanding of the industry. Most of my roles as a professional and intern included public speaking, communicating information
A physician assistant works to treat patients by performing exams, analyzing medical history, and developing a treatment plan. They work closely with doctors and other middle-level practitioners in order to do what’s best for their patients. PAs can also order and interpret patient’s tests, and assist in surgery. One important aspect of a PA is they are caretakers. If patients are ill or in need of help PAs are able to help every step of the way and provide not only medical, but emotional support.
I am very interested in the position with the Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP). Although I have focused on foreclosure-related issues for the last four years, I have a BA in Psychology, I have worked in nursing homes and mental health facilities, I was a certified teacher in Behavioral Science, and interned at a children’s psychiatric facility. I believe those experiences, as well as my dedication to providing legal services to low-income people, provide a good foundation for working with patients, families, and medical providers with the MLP. I have a deep understanding of the civil legal needs of low-income people. I spent six years working on the CLEAR*Sr hotline.
Through my studies of human expression and its reflection of how people deal with world events in different ways, I developed sensitivity to other worldviews that continues to prove useful through my daily interactions with people of different backgrounds. I have learned that just like art, medicine involves pattern recognition and derives insight from experiences. Similarly, what I especially enjoy about being a medical assistant is interacting with patients on a daily basis and getting to be a part of their medical experiences, even if it is just by lending an ear. The experiences on my path to a career in medicine have made me want to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of those around me – a difference that leaves my patients in a better condition than they were in before I met them.
From the Resident Assistant position I hope to learn management skills, a proper balance of order and fun, and better leadership skills. First of all, I feel management skills will have to be learned while being a Resident Assistant because of the amount of duties I would be responsible for. Not only must I watch over an entire floor of girls, but I also need to attend meetings, keep paperwork, and report and listen to those ranked above me. In a lifetime, it is important to have management skills if you want to be promoted through careers. I believe the perfect time to start learning this is now.
Personal Statement I come from a large family with relatives from a little ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico. Many of which have never made it past grade school. Mainly due to their mother, my grandma, she had fallen very ill. Due to her condition and lack of money my aunts and uncles dropped out of school to work and help pay for her medication and medical expenses. The older siblings had to take care of the younger siblings.
Growing up with two parents who work in the healthcare field, you become saturated with it. Healthcare becomes a focus of dinner conversations reflecting the entire spectrum of the patient-provider relationship from funny stories to intense life-threatening moments. At times, this environment can push children towards trying new and unique experiences. For me this was the case. After having an opportunity to teach overseas for three months, life began to push me towards a vocation change.
Ever since I can remember, I have had an interest in science. As a young child, I read anatomy books to learn about human physiology in my pastime. As I grew older, I watched instructional videos of procedures that physicians perform on patients that I used as an educational tool. The books and videos fascinated and motivated me to pursue a career in medicine. The thought of me becoming a doctor and attending to the needs of others is gratifying.
My goal is to pursue a career where I can utilize my diverse skills. In studying Health Administration, it would allow me to become healthcare provider who not only understands the concepts of finance management but also aware of medical law. I have previously studied and received a degree in my major of Biology, concentrated in the Pre-Medical Curriculum, and minor in Chemistry. Every student considers themselves to be a leader, but not everyone embodies the term. I see myself as someone who demonstrates strong organizational skills and in the future, I think I would be capable of maintaining a health service organizations.
Jekoi D. Lassiter Personal Statement UNCG School of Education Degree Objective: M.Ed. My interest in the field of Education dates back to my primary years of school. Throughout my elementary years, I was always fascinated with aiding my fellow classmates in the area of reading comprehension, through the usage of breaking apart words and using the correct skills and strategies to attack reading passages and questions. This love for literacy increased throughout my grade school career. In my senior year of High School, I was provided the opportunity to participate in an Apprenticeship where I served as a Third Grade Teacher Assistant at one of the local elementary schools.
You see my life has always had to do with things medical. When I was about three years old all I would watch on television was thing about fire and rescue. The books I liked my mom to read had firefighters, paramedics and doctors in them. The match box cars I placed with consisted all of emergency vehicles.
Health and social care is something that I have always been passionate about. Because I have studied health and social care for the last four years I have regularly met a lot of the most vulnerable members of society through past work experiences. Through past placements I have worked with children who have special needs. This helped me develop ways of communicating with the children this could be through sign language. Because my Aunt is deaf I have taught myself basic sign language in order to communicate with her effectively.
Social work is a career that I have recently become interested in pursuing. I spent many years with misconceptions concerning the sector. However, following three years of working close by these experts, I have picked up a more profound comprehension of the significance of the work. I am especially interested in working in child welfare along with terminally ill children. I have got to a stage in my career where I have started to search out instruction that will make me more efficient in creating plans and providing services for vulnerable people.
