My Long-Term Goals: A Career As A Pharmacist
My short-term goal is to work hard in school and learn to relate knowledge to real life, and get lots of practical experience during my rotations. My long term goal is to work as a pharmacist with my current employer. I have worked in a closed door pharmacy for 11 years and now desire to specialize in that field dealing with geriatrics patients. I really enjoy having the feeling that I am making a difference in people’s life’s. When I was doing my rotation’s, I had counselled a lot of patients and the most delightful and grateful people were elderly patients. I felt like I really connected with elderly people and seeing the smile on their face and their appreciation for my advice really brightens my day. When I look at geriatric population, my parents really come to mind and I want to provide them with the best evidenced based care in pharmacy. I know elderly people are a challenge to work with due to their comorbidities, but I also know they are the ones who need the most help for managing it. Working in a long term care, I see elderly patients with literally 20 medications and I am always trying my best to check if they really need all of them.

    Human Services

    As I embark on my education journey to hopefully a Bachelor's degree in Human Services. The career I choose to permanently employ in is a geriatric case worker. I'd much prefer to work with a gerontology certification as my true passion lies with working with our elders. I have hands on experience in geriatric care and feel this is the perfect career for myself, and I know I will be a true asset to whomever employs me. Additionally, as a geriatric case worker continuing education potentials are widely available in most workplaces. I'd use this resource whenever possible to further educate myself and prepare for a new position with different and unique responsibilities. At forty years of age, with medical issues, I want to pursue my career and education more than ever. Helping others is within my nature. I am well prepared for the journey ahead. To add, and much to benefit from, the geriatric or aging population have so much life to them, stories to tell, seem more genuine, and many are abandoned by their own loved ones. I'd like to be the one who makes a difference in one's quality of life. When I pursue my Bachelor's Degree, I'd remain in geriatrics as a Geriatric Case Manager, in this newer named, yet in high demand, position!…

    Writing Sentences and Paragraphs

    I want to be a Medical Administrative Assistant at Vanderbilt hospital to honor my late sister and my parents. When I was 18 years old my sister Debbie died from cancer. The majority of my childhood and teenage years were spent in hospitals and the majority of my parent's money went to paying the doctors. During this period of my life I thought medicine was doing more harm than good. Because I was older at the time of Debbie's death my perception about medicine changed and I became motivated to find out why medicine costs so much and why some procedures cost more than others? So I studied hard, became Valedictorian of my class, earning a full scholarship to Vanderbilt University and now I'm ready to become a member of the Vanderbilt hospital community. It would be a great honor to secure one of the three Medical Administrative Assistants positions.…
