How Being Passionate About Helping Others Shaped My Career Choice

My name is Bre’Shayla Hill. I am currently a student at Lincoln High School receiving general curriculum. I will be graduating May 23, 2019. Being successful means so much to me, and it is something that I want to obtain. I have always loved going to school. I was the student who would get emotional over not receiving an A. My education has always been important to me, but I have been placed with obstacles that are making it harder for me to further my education being that I grew up in a single parent home. After years of observing my hardworking mother and the sacrifices she has made I knew I wanted and had to be successful. Because I am passionate about helping others this motivates me to develop a career in medicine as only here I feel that I can fully express my love and care to other people. 

My educational aspirations consist of earning a first an associates degree in Radiologic Technology/Science, then to earn my bachelors in Radiation Therapy that will assist me in pursuing a medical career as a Radiation Therapist. I am truly passionate about one thing and that is helping others. My career vision is to help as many patients as I can to the best of my ability. I am very certain that if I do not complete my college degree I will never get the chance to achieve my goal. To achieve my goals, I know that I must get a four year college education which will begin with the Fall 2019 semester. I am excited about what is instore for me in the future and if given this scholarship I will have the opportunity to further my education and become a successful Radiation Therapist.

I am passionate about helping others. I want to touch lives and make an impact on patients I will encounter on the job. Throughout my experiences, I have developed a strong desire to be in the medical field and a desire to be challenged. Not only wanting to help others, the diagnosis of breast cancer to my cousin made my passion for pursuing a career in radiation therapy even stronger.

Lastly, another goal of mine is to be successful in everything I do and education plays a vital role in shaping successful people. It gives the chance to become productive members of society by skills needed to do so. Education is the stepping stone for our future and getting an education is crucial in society today. If given this scholarship I will have the opportunity to further my education and achieve the goals I have set.
