I will be graduating from Queens University of Charlotte with a degree in Elementary Education on May 6, 2017. I am currently completing my student teaching in first-grade at Sharon Elementary School.
“The Scythian soldier drinks the blood of the first man he overthrows in battle. […] he cuts off all their heads, and carries them to the king; […] thus entitled to a share of the booty.” This account of the people of southern Russia is observed and recorded by Herodotus of Halicarnassus, a Greek philosopher and a “Father of History” who set out to document the Persian War.
You’re in the Doctor’s office waiting for your time to come for the yearly visit. An extensive time goes on, your scheduled visit time has passed. Most likely the doctor is still occupied with another patient. This is the time a Physician assistant will come save you from your bothersome delay. Physician assistants work under the supervision of a doctor, surgeon, or medical professional to provide support to a healthcare or medical team.
As a child of two nurses, I have always been partial to the medical field. I have chosen to pursue physician assistant studies because of the responsibilities the position holds, such as examining and diagnosing patients and giving treatments. The career stability is also an aspect that draws my attention to the profession. The healthcare field, while stable, is always evolving; new technologies, procedures, treatments, and even discoveries of diseases have those working in the field constantly learning and experiencing something for the first time. I require a challenging professional career, and I believe this field will provide that.
Every dime I earn working at Reynolds Community College and every grant and scholarship I receive will go towards my passion of studying human behavior and applying everything I learn to bringing every community I can reach, a giant leap forward. After receiving my associates degree in Social a Science I decided to take a year off to work towards finding what it is that I really want to pursue. I have searched for that 'something ' that will keep me intrigued and awake all hours of the night without realizing it. I have eliminated the idea of simply working to make ends meet or finding a good job to support my family and "living" outside the 40+ hours of a weekday job. I am pursuing much more and I am confident that I have found a path leading me to wake up before my alarm clock sounds instead of praying for more time.
I am applying for a career in social services because I have always had an interest in making a difference to othere peoples lives. Being a Paramedic I feel I could ultimatley forful this role, and change people lives for the better. A family member of mine struggled with an alcohol addiction for the majority of his life, not only did I see the effects it made to his life but I also observed the consequences he faced fughting for his life. This personal experience of mine influenced me massively to aim for a career that helps people for the better.
I want to become a professional in the Public Health field mainly to inform, educate, and help the community help themselves in this new world where diseases and health crisis are on the rise. I always felt as though this field chose me. At the age of fifteen, I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Ten years ago, there weren't many types of research or information to help inform people living with this chronic illness. No help on how to keep the body functioning at an optimum level or how to help with the inflammation lurking throughout without only medication.
I always had an interest in learning about different sciences in High School, and knew I wanted to choose a career where I could help people. However, it was not until I was in my senior year, when my father fell sick, I realized my true interest was in medicine and the human body. The doctors would come into his hospital room, explaining what tests they were doing and what medications they were going to give him. My curiosity lead me to research the illnesses he was being tested for; forms of vasculitis. It was not until after numerous different tests and a lung biopsy that my father was diagnosed with the rare form of vasculitis, Churg-Strauss Syndrome.
Most of my family members received their higher education. I respect and love graduate school because of the abundance of innovation and also culture diversity. I appreciate immensely all that school has provided me with. I was assigned a teaching assistant position in different classes in Virginia Tech. Being a TA has been an invaluable experience and I greatly enjoyed the mutual learning process from both students and professors.
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.
I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity. We see the process of aging and choose not to embrace it.
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.
In my professional studies assignment, I examined research on the effectiveness on teaching assistants. As a parent the support my son has had from teaching assistants has been extremely positive. He was during primary school, three years behind his peers in Year 2, however by Year 6 he gained a Level 5 in both Maths and Science and Level 4 In English. I also observed during my teaching practices, teaching assistants deployed in several effective ways, such as helping in managing behaviour; making notes and observations about children to aid report writing. Supporting lower ability and EAL children during mental and oral starters; giving assistance in independent work and providing further explanation and visual aids to support understanding.
Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to make a difference and help anyone in need that I possibly could. From the start of my childhood, I can recall helping my mother care for my great grandparents, so they would be able to live out the rest of their lives from their home, instead of in a nursing home. As a young child it was extremely difficult to live with and watch my loved ones deteriorate as they got older, as their condition got worse and worse, and saw my mother having a difficult time keeping up with caring for both of my great grandparents 24/7, it put a lot of stress on the family. However, I am grateful to have been able to help my mother care for them. Growing up in such a caring and loving household made the situation
Dear Dr. Cathleen Moore and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, I would like to be considered for your Graduate Teaching Assistant position that was posted on 10/31/2017. I believe that I would be a great fit for this position due to my experiences as a teacher and my academic background in psychology. One reason I would be a great fit for this position is because I once held what seems to be a nearly identical position in college. At Southern Illinois University (SIU), I served as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Psychology under the tutelage of Dr. Meera Komarraju. In this position, I led a discussion section for a similar number of students that were mostly at the freshmen and sophomore level.
