What did you study in college ?

Hi Kaylene,

I’d like to share my story, in hopes it will help give a different perspective along your way. I was a Human Physiology major in college. It allowed me to take all the prerequisites I needed for my dream of applying to medical school. It was a great opportunity and I had the chance to learn so much about the human body, public health, and nutrition - just to name a few.

However, after graduating and working in the medical field I realized my dreams were changing and I wanted something else for my life. After some time and discerning, I am now in a program to receive my Masters in School Counseling and I could not be more thrilled.

I enjoyed working in the medical field; as a nursing assistant, receptionist, medical scheduler, insurance analyst, administrative assistant - I’ve seen a lot! And each of those roles helped me to become who I am today. I am grateful for that time as it helped me better my skills that I will ultimately use as a School Counselor.

My hope in sharing my story is that you know that the world is literally a wealth of opportunity. And whatever decisions we make (like a major in college) may not come to fruition as we planned it but will ultimately help us along in this journey of life.

Good luck with everything Kaylene!

My undergraduate degree is in Middle Childhood Education with a specialty in Mathematics. Currently, I’m attending grad school to earn my degree in Business Administration with a specialty in either Accounting or Finance.

Kaylene,

My educational background is quite unconventional, but for my undergraduate degree in the U.S., my major was sports and health sciences and now I'm in a graduate program to become a PA. You mentioned you're interesting in becoming a CNA. I worked as one for a while before starting the PA program. What questions did you have for me?
