Why I Am Attending Chattanooga State College
As a young teenager graduating from high school over 17 years ago, I had always vision myself attending a university and pledging in a sorority. However, things didn’t go according as plan. I got caught up in this world called life and became very content not noticing that the life I had always dreamt of for myself was passing me by. Although, I received my Certified Nursing Assistant licensed back in 2001, I knew this wasn’t the career path that I wanted to stay in. I attended Chattanooga State twice before, yet I never finished. I’m an individual that always procrastinate and seems to start things but never finished. As a result of this, I feel that now is the right time for me to attend Chattanooga State. Attending Chattanooga State now will help me improve my career, lead by example and most of all prove to myself that I for once I can accomplish and finish something. I’ve been a (CNA) Certified Nursing Assistant for 14 years. Over the years I have come encounter with a variety of people in this field. [Do you mean "I have encountered"?] Most of the people I’ve crossed paths with have always encourage me to go back to school. Although, I love working with the elderly and helping others, I know that I have to make bigger moves if I want more than just being a CNA. I’ve notice other great professions around me in this field and that if I want to boost my income then I would most defiantly have to improve my career path. By attending Chattanooga State I know that it could help improve and increase career opportunities. There’s a job for everyone, however I feel that with a college degree I would have more and better opportunities with a degree. For example, an employer has to decide between two candidates for a job position. Even though, both candidates have the same skills, qualifications and experience but only one candidate can be chosen for the job .In addition to this, if one of the candidate have a college degree most likely the employer will choose the

    Growing up Iranian American, I was greatly impacted by the opinions of my peers early on. Classmates would criticize my lunch or convey evident shock at the fact that I was Muslim, so I grew up feeling patronized for much of my early life. Eventually, I began surrounding myself with others who were also in my shoes, facing the discrimination that came along with being different. Over the years growing up surrounded in a fusion of cultures has made me appreciate the diversity that makes each culture so unique. Growing up traveling the world, learning multiple languages and being encouraged to accept all that cultures have to offer is something that is very beneficial in today’s global society and something that I will bring to SMU’s diverse campus. Should I be fortunate enough to attend SMU I will bring my open mind and worldly perspective to the learning environment and clubs on campus. Within the classroom I’d apply my background in my desire to study conflict within the Middle East and ways to resolve that.…

    When I first began to think about college, I was overwhelmed to say the least. More accurately, I was terrified. I had no obvious plan for the future and I didn’t know how I was going to decide where to go or what to do. I knew what I liked to do but I had no idea how interests translated into a major. It all seemed so impossible at the beginning, but as the year progressed I began to develop a goal: Meredith College. After a long period of worry and stress, I was accepted to Meredith and offered financial aid. Meredith College is my dream school and I know that’s where God wants me to grow for the next four years.

    Occupational Therapy (COTA)

    The ending result (after graduation) will be well worth it. However, compared to other colleges in North Carolina (one of the best places to pursue Occupational Therapy), East Carolina University offers an all around wonderful program to obtain your master’s degree in. With ECU being one of the few colleges to offer a degree in Occupational Therapy, it is exceptionally well, has a soaring high graduation rate, and offers things other colleges do not. After graduation, the student will obtain his/her state license, and then pursue the career of their dreams. The years spent practicing Occupational Therapy will be fair - steady income, wonderful job benefits, and the satisfaction of knowing the practitioner matters. Opportunities of advancement in a career such as Occupational Therapy may be hard to come by. One way of success and high advancement is if you obtain your bachelor’s degree and become an Occupational Therapist Assistant. You may advance from this career to a certified Occupational Therapist if you eventually obtain your master’s degree and move up to an OT, rather than COTA. Speaking in terms of a certified Occupational Therapist straight out of college, an advancement may not be in favor for a while. Another way Occupational Therapists find ways to advance is by starting their own practice at a workplace. This requires hiring more OT’s/COTA’s, a workplace, and several other key factors. Many say this decision is not wise - however, it can be to the benefit of the individual if it is successful. Many fail at starting their own practice, and little succeed. On top of the extra stress, it’s very costly and time consuming to run your own practice. It often is believed that it isn’t worth…

Despite all the obstacles I have faced, I still wake up every morning with a fresh attitude and a new goal that will put me a few steps toward attending college.

    Nursing school was never meant to be easy. Being accepted to the program was already a challenge and long journey that requires patience, perseverance, and knowledge. The moment I received that acceptance letter to the nursing program, mixed emotions filled my mind and soul. I asked myself a question, “Am I physically, psychologically, and spiritually ready for this?” Funny that I worked hard to get into the program, but then question myself afterwards. First day of nursing school was very overwhelming honestly. It was like as if a bomb of information was dropped right in front me. I did not know where to start and which ones to prioritize. As the week progressed, I have learned to adjust. Attending to Breakfast Club sessions with Mrs. Hider,…
