FinalistBio
At 8 years old, like many kids, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I was always changing what I wanted to be growing up, but the only thing that changed was the title, not the goal. Ten years later, I have finally found the career that I am meant to pursue: Child Life Specialty. I have always wanted to make a difference and to help people, especially children.
A college education is important for my career because it allows me to make a difference at a higher level. I also chose something that needed higher education because I love learning. No matter how old I am, I can always grow in my knowledge. My only career goal is to make a lot. Make a lot of my patients' days, that is and make a difference in their lives one smile at a time.
