About My Pathway
I have been in the Health Science pathway since I was a sophomore. That year I took the Exploring Health Careers class, but it didn't really catch my attention. It was a good class but I felt like the Health field wouldn't be for me, because I didn't enjoy science. My junior year I took Physiology, and that class completely changed everything. I loved learning about all the different systems in our body and their functions, it all really amazed me. Throughout that year, I was searching for what I wanted to do in college, and I realized that studying Kinesiology captivated my attention. Now, senior year, I am taking Psychology and I've learned alot in that class already. I now know that I want to major in Kinesiology and become a Physcial Therapist.
Job Shadow Experience
For my job shadow I job shadowed a 1st grade teacher, Grace Hernandez. Although my first choice is not to become a teacher, I was interested to see if I'd enjoy myself working around with children. I found that to be true, I really enjoyed working with the kids and being around them. At first I thought I wouldn't have the patience to work will children, but I realized that it wasn't so bad. I learned what skills a person in this position needs to have in order to enjoy and succeed in their job. With this experience in mind, I am able to narrow down my choices on what to do with my life in the future.
