Salient Career Goal
My salient career goal is to become a successful computer engineer, as women are a minority in the engineering field. I chose engineering, because I love problem solving, math and building circuits on my breadboard. My goals for now are to graduate with a high GPA and to gain experience through my college journey. I tend to get better grades when I understand the material better, which is by tutoring others. Also, having work experience can be extremely helpful, as it is a whole new environment. If selected for the HLSAMP program, I would increase diversity by sharing my experiences of coming from a diverse country with others.
Being an international student from Suriname, coming to study at the University of Houston is life changing. I was raised in an undeveloped country that has been facing numerous difficulties such as high crime rate, corruption, poverty, and high food prices. Due to the crisis that is presently going on in the country, there are …show more content…
I still remember assisting my classmates in calculus one, because they had trouble understanding a few concepts. By tutoring them not only did I boost their grade, I furthermore gained better understanding of the concepts which undeniably helped acing the course. An additional aspect I consider essential for reaching my goals is having work experience. During the summer of 2013, I worked for the “DSB Bank” and was liable for getting official bank documents signed by the branch manager and mailing international checks. I also sorted bank documents to be distributed to several divisions within the bank. Currently, I am working for the company “IAMGOLD” in Suriname, where I am learning to code in various programming languages and assisting the help desk support team. Working throughout the summer while taking classes enabled me to learn time management as well. Being in a work environment is a substantial way to prepare for the

    Personal Statement: My Career Goals

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…

    Long Term Career Goals

    When it comes to my education my short-term goal is to finish out this school year and maintain my current GPA. I find it easier to motivate myself each day if I have set in stone grade goals in mind. My long-term education goal is to finish my Associate of Applied Business degree in spring 2017 and my Associate of Arts degree in spring of 2018. I have enough classes and credit hours to finish a second associate degree in two part-time semesters. My short term career goal is to continue where I am until I graduate and learn as much as I can from those around me. I find that the people around me at my current jobs are very intelligent and it would be wasteful of me to not learn what I can from them before I move on. My long-term career goal…

    Describe Career Goals

    I have not decided on a specific major that I would like to pursue in college, but I do know that I plan on attending medical school after college. As an adult, I would like to be a pediatrician. I have strongly considered majoring in neuroscience, because I find the discipline to be fascinating, but I have also considered other biology/chemistry/physics majors. When I was younger, I wanted to go into law, like my father. However, I realized as I got a little older that what appealed to me about a career in law was not the thrill of a trial or the arguing, but rather the potential to help other people. Given that science-related classes and activities have always been my favorite, I have decided that a career in medicine is more fitting for my interests and life goals.…
