Choosing a career is a very tough thing for me to do. Since I was about five years old, I always told my mom that I wanted to be a doctor. It was all I would ever talk about. To this day I would still like to work in some clincal setting, I just feel like it is where I'm supposed to be. In 2011, I took classes and got CNA certification so that I could start out working in basic healthcare and I have really enjoyed it. I have worked through CMH in Bolivar since April of 2011. While taking my CNA classes, I also got to job shadow a lot of different hospital facilities and see what it would be like to work in each setting. I have wanted to be a Pediatric Nurse for as long as I can remember, and while I enjoyed job shadowing there, I felt most comfortable in the OB/GYN. I found that I would absolutley love to deliver babies. It is a wonderful thing to be a part of, and while it has its faults, it is such a blessing to get to feel as such an important part of a beautiful thing. A few months ago, I just had a change in heart. While I would still love to deliver babies and work in a hospital, I also really feel like I need to be in Child and Family Social Work. I did a research paper to inform myself more of the details of the job and it really interested me. In both cases, my job would be very tough at times, but also extremely rewarding. I know I'm not prepared for everything that I will see in either career, but I know that I am an emotionally stable person and I am good at helping others cope in hard times. I am currently just taking classes that could be used for either career choice and hoping that these will help me make my decision. I can not wait to see how the rest of my life unfolds.
