About
My educational and career goals objectives have two steps:
First, I intend to earn an associate’s degree in healthcare support, and work as a home healthcare assistant. This is the field that I am currently studying. The second step is to continue my education and study to earn another associates degree in radiology in order to work as a radiologist technologist. It will take a total of four years as a full-time student to reach my goals. I am more than ready to study hard to reach these goals! As evidence of my dedication, my name continuously appears on our college dean’s list! And my current cumulative GPA is 3.692 in completing 50 credit hours. Since I started my study in Ivy Tech community college-Northeast, each semester I received TRio student achievers certificate for my exceptionally meritorious achievement.
I graduated from high school in 1979. In order to provide my family, I had to forego school and begin working full-time. When I moved to the United States, better educational opportunities presented themselves, and I became convinced that these would be the key for me to better provide for my family. . I am fully committed to my studies not only in order to improve myself, but also to show my children that we can do anything through commitment and hard work. My biggest dream that I reach my educational goals and I am willing to study so hard to reach them. I am married and have four kids; working full time and studying at same time. In order to be successful in my study, I have to use time management method. Most of the time I sleep three hours a night only, but for my current GPA points I think it is worth it and I am very proud about it!
Thank you
