Intellectual History

Out of all the classes I took in high school Sports Medicine, Sociology, Interior Design and English were by far my favorites. My English teacher was very influential to me because she encouraged us to take risks, do things we wouldn't normally do, and get outside our comfort zone. One lesson that she taught us had the greatest impact on me and that was to live life to the fullest because we can never go back a do out life over again.
My senior year I took a Medical Assisting class at Mountainland Applied Technology College where I got my Medical Assisting degree. This class was a lot of hard work. I went everyday for three hours and after I was done I had to do a 180 hour internship. After I finally finished it I worked at a Doctor's office and I learned so much there. Some of the things I did were shots, blood draws, assisting with stitches, heart monitors, breathing treatments, taking x-rays, applying casts, flu, strep, and mono tests, and lots of other things. Since taking that class and working there this had become a passion of mine. I love helping people and making them feel better. I have known for a long time that I want to be a nurse but this class ultimately helped me decided that.

For my Richard Light goal I chose time management because that is definitely something I need to work on. Before school started I bought a planner and so far it has helped to keep me organized with my classes and everything. A couple things I need to work on are getting to bed earlier, and make sure I set aside time to do my homework instead of other things that aren't as important.
