1054 Words5 Pages

Introduction

Over a few days I have learned what my future might look like, than in an entire year. CFNC.org has really shown me what my strongest skills are and what I might want to do do when I grow up. In this paper, I wish to describe to you about what we have been researching and what I have learned from this website and my ecstatic findings about the jobs and careers I could choose. I feel at most this site could be a key to helping me find what I want to do in the future.

Abilities, Interests, Skills etc.

In the past few days I have partaken in two surveys, one telling me the careers that I might be interested in. The other telling me about the skills that I am the strongest in and the weakest, to help narrow down my choices of a …show more content…

Health Science offers a lot of job choices like surgeon, neurosurgeon, or heart surgeon where I have to remain calm and think quickly. I also think that these jobs, with my love of helping people, would be a great selection for e as a career. Treating people who are hurt makes me feel like I am impacting the world.
My main choice of job will be a surgeon, even though I may not know which field of surgery, because I will do well in stressful situations. I know this from scoring a 6 in critical thinking. One of the main keys about being a doctor is having a helpful/joyful personality, yet serious during hard times. This will be a hard journey with 4 years to get a Bachelor’s Degree, 4 years to get a Doctorate and 3-7 years in residency; totaling over 12 years of schooling after high school.
My fear in this career field is that there are a short amount of annual job openings but the upside is the annual growth rate is 22%. I am really looking forward to going into this career and taking on the task of irregular and overtime weekend work hours. My plan is to go to Chapel Hill to study this career but I do know that they only take 52% of NC …show more content…

The college that I would mostly fit into to become a surgeon, is University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which initially was my first pick. UNC at Chapel Hill is known as a large population school but they only take 28% of applications. I have read that UNC at Chapel Hill has good health courses, so this is why I am most interested in this school.
If I continue to go into this career path of being a surgeon it will take me at least 8 years plus residency to finish. I think the hardest part for me will be moving away for more than 8 years from my family. In the long run I hope to make my family proud and help others with the knowledge that this education will give me.
My plan to pay for college will be a combination of my parents, loans and hopefully scholarships. As long as I continue in the AIG program and into early college courses, I believe I have a good chance of accomplishing my goals. UNC at Chapel Hill has a always been my dream school and I do think it will help my to complete my goal to help the world around me.

I personally believe that UNC Wilmington will allow me to grow academically as a student as well as an adult. Being from a small town in Maine I have always been the type of person to try new things and live to the fullest. When I decided to go to college, my mind was set on staying close to home my first year and getting the feel of what it is like. I strongly feel I am a very independent person and enjoy the challenges of doing things on my own. I have changed my mind many times on a career path I wish to pursue I don’t find it easy for someone my age to know exactly what they want to do for the rest of their life.

The department that interests me the most is the Environmental Sciences and Engineering department, because math and science has always been something I was interested by and excelled in. UNC’s Environmental Sciences and Engineering department focuses on the interface between people and the environment.
