June 21, 2011
When I go to college, I hope to study International Business or because I like the business scene and I also love to travel. I am also interested in human resource management because I find office work extremely fun and I’m very organized. I would like to run meetings and conduct business with large companies around the world. I plan on going to Hawaii Pacific University or SDSU (San Diego State University). I want to have a minor in something that relates to travel or learning other languages. Since I already know Spanish, it would be to my advantage to learn French or Italian. I want to study abroad my junior year to countries like Germany, Italy, France, Costa Rica and Japan. I entered this program with the dream of becoming a psychologist or a pediatrician. I learned about pharmacy and nursing and thought about having those as a career as well but I soon realized I didn’t have a passion for it. Over the past couple of years, that dream has changed. I no longer want to study anything in the medical field. So far the pre-collegiate program is helping me expand my knowledge. And I am also benefiting because of the three English credits I will receive at the end of the five week program. Since I am no longer interested in the medical field, it's not helping as much as I would like. I have never taken Calculus so I am always learning something new in math class every day.

Annissa—it’s ok to discover that you don’t have a passion for something after finding out more in some classes. It took me 2 years to realize that I wasn’t cut out to be a concert guitarist (I was a classical guitar music performance major). I think realizing that before you spent 2 years worth of tuition can only be a good thing, right? :-) International Business sounds very interesting and the travelling that you’d do in that career sounds like a bonus for sure!
ReplyDeleteTry to get as much as you can out of Pre-Collegiate Health Careers, because a lot of what you’ll learn in during the rest of your summer program is HIGHLY relevant no matter what you pursue in college—things like library research, study skills, health disparities, anatomy (can you imagine wowing your business friends with your knowledge of human anatomy or your tales of cadaver lab?), and the other senior seminar courses. Plus, you’re developing a support network that will help you through college even if you do not pursue the same things that your classmates in PCHCP does. And always remember to introduce yourself to the librarians on your college campus because they will be valuable resources for you in your classes AND in your career once you graduate.
