Today I have been researching the places that I would like to go my externship for the Medical Assisting program. It has been very encouraging to find out how many different places I can do it in. This experience has been so exciting so far and I can not wait until I start my classes on Medical Assisting. My family has been a great support in my decision to go back to school and it has made it so much easier to do so because of that. By having such a positive experience this far has allowed me to have dreams about this career and what my life will be like when I am finished. All the positive thinks has a great impact on my future and what I can do with the career that I have chosen.
Question 2: Explain what academic success looks and feels like for you.
So far I have done well throughout this course. What academic success looks like to me is when I make it to Presidents Honor Roll. That has been a goal of mine since before I started this course and was going through the enrollment process. I want to be able to tell and show others that may not be so sure about going back to school after a family or at my age what a person can achieve if their mind is set on something. I wan to be able to put on a job application my achievements, it means a lot to me about how a person views my abilities when applying for a position. My overall feeling is to some it up SUCCESS!! I set a goal achieved it to the best of my abilities, have a career, can provide for my family and most importantly be a positive influence to my children about continuing their education after high school.
Question 3: As I work towards my goals, what attitudes, beliefs, and self-talk do I need when I am faced with a challenge or an obstacle?
Positivity and to have clear goals set for myself will be the push that I need when I am struck with a challenge. I will always remind myself why I am doing what I am doing. I need to tell myself I can do it not matter what it might be or how hard I have to work. A person that works hard for things is determined, confident, strong willed and focused on what they want out of it. I believe that I can do it, so I will. I have said it before but if a person does not succeed at a task, they need to look at it and figure out an alternate way of thinking, there is not only one answer to things. Being challenged is my strength not a weakness. I am open to challenges each and everyday, I have to be I am a mom who has a full time job, goes to school, huge parent volunteer and has 3 children. There is not a fail option in my book. This course has done everything for me and re-assured me about the beliefs I had and that I am doing the right things for the right reasons.
