Personal Goal
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
One’s personal goal can mean and be valued differently to others; one may
honor it while another may disregard it. What matters most to many people,
however is how their personal goals can bring personal fulfillment to them
not how it is perceived differently by others. I feel that such value is the
hallmark of people who felt has led truly meaningful lives. My goals for my
future are to achieve a Doctoral degree in nursing practice (DNP) and to
contribute in the work for cancer research. My interest in the sciences and
desire to help my community in many areas in life has shaped my goal to
pursue nursing. Having been exposed to the biological sciences throughout my
academic years has given me greater appreciation towards the human body and
its functions. I fully believe that such sentiment is an important quality
to carry out research in the science of nursing. The field of nursing will
also allow me to improve my critical thinking skills and broaden my
knowledge in the health sciences through research and implementation of
nursing practice. Apart from having graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in
Psychology, I have also served as a community leader for 3 and a half years
working at the Asian Pacific Islander Coalition for HIV and AIDS. As a
result, I believe my work experience will better prepare me in identifying
and addressing the needs of communities that require support in many areas
of health care.
