Professionally, I am taking on as many leadership positions as I can on campus. I am the treasurer of three organizations, a peer mentor, and a Resident Assistant. These positions will allow me to work on administrative duties, and challenge the time management skills I have obtained. This year I plan on being an Interpersonal Counsellor for the EOF/MAP summer program. I also plan on being a Resident Assistant next academic school year if I receive upper-classmen housing. Furthermore, I hope to acquire an opportunity to intern for an accounting firm. At this stage in professional development, I need to gain some work experience as an accountant to increase my chances for job opportunities after I graduate. I also need to take my GRD for Graduate school, and apply to become an RD the academic school year after next.

I feel as though I need to work on trusting others more, and following-up with situations. It is very difficult for me to trust people. Although, it could be considered a good/bad thing based on the situation, I want to be able to open-up to others more, and it is something that I am working on. There are also a lot of times where I refuse to ask for help because I think I have the situation under control. When in reality I need some sort of extra help. I also need to work on following up with situations. I tend to be the person that when I find a solution, I leave it alone. Although, just because I find a solution for the moment, it doesn’t mean that I found the best solution/ it will work entirely. I am trying to better myself mentally for personal relationships moving

I would choose this one primary because it involves helping others. “We rise by lifting others” is a quote that resonates with me as I believe strongly in its message.

Whether it be scheduling an appointment, or simply greeting the patient as they walk in, my job is to ensure that the patient feels satisfied with their dental experience.

When I call my doctor office, I expect the person that is answering the phone to listen to me, and anything I need. I expect them to answer my questions, and if they don 't have the answer, to ask someone around them, or find the answer and give me a call back depending on the wait time. I expect them to be flexible with my schedule, and try to help me find an appointment (if need be) that will fit me, and the doctors office the best. When I become a medical assistant, and I have to potentially operate the front desk, I will use this knowledge to help my patients schedule appointments. I know that when I call the doctors office, and I 'm sick and I just want to schedule an appointment quickly, I want the receptionist to help me as best

Resident Assistants are like Jailers, and the Dorm seems like a prison. At least that was the case prior to the establishment of the Dorm Council. I’ve never lived in a Dorm before,which was my first experience that I had to share my space with roommates, strictly follow a pre-determined schedule, and be answerable to somebody outside of my family. After living one year in Dorm, I believed that some Dorm rules need to be changed. Dorm Council was founded in order to meet boarding students’ needs.

At the beginning of my clinical placement I felt unsure of my role and how much charge I could take when interacting with the other professionals in the classroom. However, as the year progressed and I developed relationships with my colleagues, I felt more comfortable engaging in communication. If there was general discussion about changes the teacher wanted to make to the class routine I provided suggestions, and if I was unsure about the effectiveness of something, I was able to initiate discussion about how to proceed with the topic. Furthermore, I was able to practice my professional communication by developing an effective relationship with my fellow nursing student. We took advantage of our breaks together to share ideas about our work
