When I go to college I hope to study something in the medical field. Although I do not really know what I want to study and I'm as undecided as they come, there's something absolutely fascinating to me about the medical field. I have a thirst for knowledge when it comes to stuff like finding a cure for cancer and HIV/AIDS and different infectious diseases. I like knowing why things happen the way that they do. I want to change lives or even just one. The pre-collegiate program is helping me out because I’m so unsure about the future and when I first came into this program I wasn’t even sure if I wanted a future in the healthcare but overtime I’ve realized that I do want something in the medical field. The pre-collegiate so far has been hard because it’s nothing like high school. I get to see first-hand what college life is like. I hope that this program will help me choose one of the many parts throughout the medical field. What I really want from this program is to become more prepared for what the future has in store for me whether it’s the medical field or if it’s just college. My ultimate goal is to be happy with whatever career path that I choose. I believe there are too many unhappy people out there and their jobs have lost meaning. I’m going to be spending valuable time, it might as well be something that I enjoy doing.
Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteYou are very smart to take time now to seriously consider what areas interest you the most. You're right, a lot of people don't do that work up front and then end up unhappy with their career choice. However, I've found that being open to change can provide you with some opportunities you might have otherwise missed. It's good to engage in the type of self-reflection that you are doing now as you go through your life - you never know where you'll end up! Good luck in your journey!
