Value of Education Essay

Value of Post-High School Education Education is the most important quality to success. With education you can expand your knowledge and allow yourself to move forward and higher up in the socioeconomic system. Since I was a young girl I have always aspired to help others, in any way, shape or form. Being helpful and meaningful to others is something that I am very passionate about. To ensure that I follow through with my success and aspirations, I have decided that I will study Nursing at a four year university. I want to become a Registered Nurse with a Master’s of Science in Nursing, and eventually become a lactation consultant. Although it will take about six years, it will be worth it. I will have to start my freshman year taking General Ed courses based on the scores I receive on the universities’ placement tests. From there I will enroll in mostly Science courses, including Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, and Organic Chemistry, with a few Sociology and Psychology courses. After I understand the basics of the human body and how it functions, I will start taking courses to understand the effects on the human body in courses like Microbiology and Humanities. In my third and fourth years in college I will be studying the fundamentals of how to care for patients and explore the different situations nurses can work in. After I obtain my Bachelors of Science in Nursing, I would like to go to UC San Diego and work on getting my Masters in a specialization program that would allow me to specialize in lactation.

My dream career is to be a lactation consultant and I will accomplish it no matter what complications or costs I run
