I have wanted to go to college since I was twelve; I believed it would be exciting to go to school as an adult. When I became a teenager I thought I had decided that I wanted to be a school teacher, but as we grow these things change. I then attempted college for something completely different but was unable to finish due to tragic circumstances. Now at twenty-six years old I have found what I truly want to do with my life. I took a career interest profiler, a program that provides you with possible occupations that match your interests. After taking the profiler, I find I may slightly disagree. However, my results did show me new things about myself I did not know. From these results, I have created some SMART goals to help achieve my ultimate goal.…

In 2015 I made the difficult decision to leave my career as a paralegal working in family and defense criminal law and return to school. My profession as a paralegal was rewarding for years, however I desired to leave a larger influence on my family, my clients, my community, and in the world. The various hats I have worn throughout my life inspired the decision to return to school. As I explored my options, the field of social work checked all the boxes that I knew would assist me in my overarching goals to produce a positive impact.…
I have always been interested in piano. However, it has never been terribly easy. I can play piano by memorizing the notes or playing by ear, but I always have had problems reading notes.…
• I am always willing to help anyone that needs it; I am easy to talk to as well being a good listener. My colleagues have always come to me for help or advice and I am always willing to listen and see what I can do to help.…
In my quest for passion, I often bite off more than I can chew. I want to create, whether it be photographs, art, or music. The problem is, I never stick to one hobby long enough to master any set of skills. I'll be honest, the coding class I recently took threw another wrench in my quest. I enjoyed that class so much it made me rethink my career path and my degree plan. I have recorded multiple songs, finished dozens of art pieces, and taken thousands of photographs in the past ten years.…
Drive is something that tons of people have not yet to grasp. The word drive itself is just as powerful as its definition. Having a drive for something means there’s passion in what you’re doing. My drive is to get out of bed every day and be productive. It’s my drive that pushes me to get to work and push myself forward. Having that drive for something isn’t something I would want to let go of either. The problem today is that it’s that it’s hard to have a drive for something since it may take a while to achieve that goal. Sometimes I want to give up just thinking it’s not worth it in the long run, but an underlying drive kicks in that keeps me going.…
First off, I love to work together with others and collaborate in order to succeed in something. Whether it is a group project or discussing as a group about a certain topic, I love talking with others to work things out together versus one person doing all of the work and figuring it out by themselves. I also love to hear others opinions and ideas to see how others think compared to myself. Second, I love to help and support others. As a cheer team, we all volunteered as a group to go sing Christmas carols and make cards for all of the loved ones at the nursing home. As an individual, doing community service makes me feel like a good citizen and to know that I accomplished this goal makes me feel even…
A passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. What am I passionate about? I am passionate about achieving my goals they are very important to me. They are not just goals that don’t get me anywhere,such as growing my hair out or learning how to do a certain makeup look. I set goals for myself that I know will get me somewhere such as making all A’s on my report card and\or making a good grade on a test that is coming up. I don’t just get rid of the goal if I think I can’t do it,I try my hardest to meet that goal and make more goals that I can carry out. They are not just school based ,but also they may be based on how my lifestyle is and how I make it better. Also , I had made goals in the past based upon eating healthier and maybe…
Answer: My values that underlie my desire to help others are the ability to make my clients my number one priority and also treat my clients fairly and with respects.…
I found dreams I never knew I would want to accomplish so desperately, which is another reason I started taking college classes my senior year through a running start program. I have found myself valuing all of my work and dedication much more, because being independent has definitely been a beautiful episode that forced me to be an adult. I see myself going to a four-year school and find a job where i can operate with kids and people facing struggles. I love sociology and have always thought of myself working to help others. I have started a new passion towards history and society change over time which has made me strongly perplexed about a career choice. Due to my indecisiveness, I continue to take as many classes as I can, to clarify my decisions, and hope to find a perfect career for…
“My heart is in the work.” That one, simple sentence embodies my passion for learning. As many people progress through school, they lose the desire and passion for learning. They see school as a routine they cannot wait to escape from. However, for me, my desire has only grown stronger. In my sophomore year of high school, I decided to transfer to a residential high school with a more rigorous curriculum to satisfy my need for an academic challenge. I wanted to experience a school where the content and quantity of coursework forced me to improve my work ethic and time management skills. I wanted to truly learn the material and have ample opportunities to apply it in various academic areas. Most importantly, I wanted to go through that experience…
The value that I feel that underlies me to help others is my ability to put people first, as in being able to put my feeling aside so I would be willing to be there for them. For example my father was dating a woman that I felt was a woman after his pocket, she lied a lot and was a fake. But besides how I felt about her my father loved her and he knew how I felt about her, but I stood by him and was respecting his wishes. Now if she was putting him in harm’s way then I would have to step up and something.…
4) Helping to educate people. I honestly find that sharing my knowledge with others is a great thing to do. I'm not exactly in it for any personal glory - my goal is to help others, not to elevate myself for any reason. I've found the job to be richly rewarding, yes, and I've found…
Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change. But, I did not just wake up one day as a child and know what my path was, while that would be impressive. Defining moments in one’s life defines who they are. There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…
