Final Post (Week 8)

During the time that I have spent within this particular class, I have learned quite a few things, but the thing that I have learned that meant the most to me on a professional and on a personal level is becoming an advocate for children and families who are less fortunate. I have always wanted to do it, yet fear stopped me dead in my tracks. Doing the capstone project allowed me a chance to actually think about a plan of action and determine what typek of people I would use in my efforts to provide for these families. This is something that I am passionate about because I was once a child such as this. I grew up poor and my family and I received public assistance. Had it not been for the public assistance, I don't believe that we would have been able to make ends meet. I would like send a big thank you to Dr. Shephard for always being there for her students and I would like to thank all my classmates for responding to me and providing information that helped to contribute to my professional growth.

The three international jobs that I would like to have or have considered doing in the future are as follows: teaching English in a foreign country, providing medicare as a nurse and I would also like to be able to be able to be a peace corp worker. The reason that I would like to complete these jobs because these jobs put you in a position to help people, they can all be found overseas in exotic places which puts you in a different environment, and these jobs also excite me because they are jobs that I have been afraid to try for a long period of time. The skills that I would need to implement these jobs would be to know a different language because I would be in a strange environment. Another skill that I would need to possess are interpersonal skills which would require me to be a people person. Communication skills would carry me a long way as well.
