What Are My Transitions After High School
One of my transitions after high school was going to a medical institute for school to become a dental assistant. Everything in school was going fine, I had support from my mom who bought me a bus pass every month. My mom also helped me to sign up for that school. I made it to my internship and found out that is not the kind of job I wanted for myself. It helped me to have field experience so I didn’t get stuck in a job I didn’t feel passionate about.

My second transition in life was becoming a mother. Being a new mother with no baby experience at all was very hard and stressful. I had the help of mother in-law thankfully who guided me through and showed me what to do in certain situations regarding my son. What had got me

    Personal Narrative: My Life After High School

    I got serious, I went to school every day, did all my work, study for every test. I notice a huge difference. My GPA went up. I was finally satisfied. The problem was I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in the future. My parents wanted me to go into the medical field, but I felt like it wasn't for me. Science wasn't my favorite subject. Then during sophomore year and especially junior year. I realized what I wanted to do as a career. I noticed that I enjoyed cooking a lot and being in the kitchen. That's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. One day I found out I had to switch schools. The new school I'm in Has a culinary program which I was very excited about. I asked them to place me in there. On the first day of school, I saw my schedule and I was very excited. I knew this is what I enjoy doing, but I didn't know if I wanted to continue it after high school. Through this program I learned that I do. In order for me to go to culinary school, I had to do my best in school because culinary school is not affordable. Especially for my family.

    Cyp Core31 – 5.1 Explain How Different Types of Transitions Can Affect Children and Young People’s Development.

    All of these transitions present the child with challenges although children don’t usually have to go through the transitions on their own, they will be supported by those around them at home or in day care, or in education. However, the experience of going through the transition will depend on the kind of response and support children get from those around them. Children’s early experiences of transitions will have a big effect on how they handle transitions at later stages of their life.…

    Shelia S. Webster's Journey To Become A Registered Nurse

    When I started my junior year of high school I went to the career center for dental assisting. I was expecting to go to enroll into Columbus State Community College, get a major in Dental Hygiene, and then get my Dental Hygienist license in two years. However, after the last two years of being in the Dental Assisting program, like Shelia, I knew I did not want to be what I thought I wanted to be. I am going in a new direction, to major in nursing. One reason is, since I was young I always took extra concern for people’s wellbeing and would like to make a career out of it. I would also like to expand my nursing and become a Pediatrician. The second reason why Shelia’s story is relatable to mine is that I am great with little kids and I think that being a Pediatrician would be a good career for…

    Research Paper On Patrick Henry

    At the time, my sister was attending Kennesaw State University and I had no intentions of following in her footsteps there. I loved the small town atmosphere of Dahlonega and how it was not too far from home but not right around the corner. My friends who also went with me that day may have also had some influence on me going to school here. However; choosing a major was not as easy as choosing where I wanted to attend school at. I always played school growing up, waking up at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday just so I could replay the school day with my imaginary class and the whiteboard I so dearly loved. I struggled my first two years at deciding when I finally decided I would just choose nursing. After the countless hours in the chemistry lab, all nighters studying molecules and bonds and the dread to attend Anatomy class, I came to the conclusion that a nursing degree was not the degree for me. The following summer, I got the chance to work at a special needs camp for eight weeks. I instantly fell in love with these children and all their different personalities; especially one child named Malachi. He was a six year old boy who was non-verbal and had the speech of an eighteen-month hold. Through the course of the summer, I watched Malachi make such minute progress, but I was instantly intrigued by what was going on in his brain. I decided then that I wanted to be a Speech Therapist and would get my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood. I would then make my way to graduate school to earn my degree in Speech…

    After High School Jeff Selingo Summary

    When I graduated high school in 2013 I attended a community college in Pennsylvania for a semester. My thought on college in high school were “I don’t really want to continue my education for another four years”. That was until my high school counselor called me to her office seeing that I didn’t apply for schools. She explained that I wouldn’t be able to get a good job or ever own a house without a college degree, so that fear pushed me into continuing my education. My parents were the same way they also told me “most jobs would hire a college graduate over a high school graduate”. That was the final push towards the path of…

    Critical Literacy Narrative

    However, I ended up failing my calculus class and barely passing my economics class due to the numerous activities I was taking a part of and having to work part-time to cover my living expenses. The struggle that I had faced academically was a huge shock to me because I had been among the top ten percent students in my high school, and never once in my life did I had to take tutoring. Even though I was going to tutoring twice a week and setting more time aside to study, I still failed my exams which caused me a tremendous amount of stress. As a result, I packed up my stuff went back home to enroll at El Paso Community College to relieve the tensions of having to live by myself and to rethink of my goals about what I wanted to do in my college…

    Transitioning To High School

    Transitioning from the middle school to the high school was definitely a hard task to do. I was constantly worried about getting lost, and not being able to find my way around. When I first arrived at the high school, I was very intimidated by the size of the high school and a number of hallways and classrooms in the building. It took me multiple days to actually get used to the building and where my classrooms are located. But, now it has been a few months since transitioning the to high school, I feel like I know the high school very well and where everything is located in the school.…

    Academic Success

    Summer 2008 I began college as a freshman looking forward to all the new thing that I was going to be learning and also looking forward to all the new people I was going to be meeting. Overall I was overly excited about the new environment. It made me feel a sense of independence that I had never felt before. I was out there on my own and I was ready to make great things happen. Beginning as a freshman I had so many things that I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to become a dental hygienist, a cosmetologist, a pharmacy technician, a nurse and a wardrobe stylist. I knew that if I worked hard I could accomplish and achieve being anything that I wanted. As semesters rolled onward I began to accomplish things that I wanted: pharmacy technician, accomplished; associates degree, accomplished; cosmetologist, accomplished; certified nursing assistant, accomplished. I achieved so many great things but I still wanted more. I felt that there was more out there for me to achieve and I wanted to have it all. If there was more to be learned, I wanted to learn it and be a part of it. With that being said, I worked and I strived for more great things.…

    Personal Goals Of Returning To College

    After high school, I attended community college that was just down the road. My hope was that it would make the jump from high school to college an easier transition. I soon found that one of the main differences was the fact that attendance was not as strictly enforced as it was in high school and, being a teenager, I immediately blew off classes in favor of just hanging out with friends or picking up that extra shift at the restaurant to earn more spending cash. After taking classes here and there over the span of two and half years, I found paying bills to be a more pressing need than finishing school. Moving from one full-time job to the next and constantly putting of returning to school became the norm in my life. Not until I started with my current employer. did I stay with one job more than three years. What began as a temporary position became a steady paycheck. After three years and two promotions, I began to realize that this had the potential to become a career. I was enjoying what I was doing and got the feeling that it was more that just a job and a paycheck. I was making a difference with a Fortune 500 company. Again, I put off returning to school thinking that I didn't have time for it. Of course I'd always wanted to go back, if for no other reason than to finish what I'd started years earlier, but my thought was "Where can I find the time?" Even after the first class I started to have reservations about if this was the right time for me to get back into the ring as a student and if I would be able to dedicate the necessary time to my learning team and assignments. I realized that I need to prove to myself that I can finish what I started, even if it is the second time…

    Statement of Goals- Early Childhood Education

    After I graduated from high school May of 2010, I took some time to think about the career path that I wanted to follow. A couple months after I graduated from high school, I applied for a job at the Early Explorers Head Start in Anamoose, ND. I did not get the job that I applied for but that was okay because the next day I got a call from the School District offering me another job. They offered me the job of the assistant substitute teacher in the Early Explorers classroom. I accepted the job offer and started working in September of 2010. I loved the job so much. There was also something special in the job for me, my baby brother was also in that class. My experiences have been very rewarding so far and have inspired me to want to continue along this path and seek further knowledge in the field. It truly does mean so much to me knowing that I have helped those children learn so many new things in life that will help them with their social and cognitive development.…
