Personal Narrative: My Academic & Professional Interests
I’m at Durham Technical Community College because it’s a cheaper school then the school I was going to go to which is NCCU. I want to transfer to UNC-Chapel Hill; this has always been my dream school. Hopefully I’ll get into the C-Step program. I’m going to get an AA at DTCC. I want a Bachelor’s degree at UNC-CH. My program of study is University Transfer in Associate in Arts Degree. My pre-major is nursing. I want to be a nurse but I’m not sure which kind yet. They have high salaries and I want to earn a lot of money. I’ve always heard people talking about their nursing careers. I always used to see the nurses at the clinic I go to and they seem to like their job. I feel really good knowing I will become someone in life and knowing I’m the first in my family to attend college. My parents and family are really proud of me. I know it’s going to take a while to get a Bachelor’s degree but it’s worth it. I’m going to focus on my goals and not let anything or anyone get in the way. If I would’ve chosen to stay at NCCU I would become a nurse faster but it’s alright because I’m going to get into UNC. I’m going to work real hard so I can get into the C-Step program. My cousin’s wife is a nurse and she earned her ADN at DTCC. I got an idea of how she likes her job and the environment at the hospital she works at, Duke. My Holland Code is CAS which stands for Conventional People (Organizers), Artistic People (Creators), and Social People (Helpers). This matches with me so much but the Artistic part doesn’t go with my ideal job. I’m very organized so I will keep up with my job as a nurse. I like helping people and my patients will be my first priority.
MY PERSONAL SMART GOALS
SMART Academic Goals
I will pass all of my classes with an A or B. I will study at least for an hour for each class every night. I will attend every class and be on time.
