I really want to pursue this career because it has always been interesting to me. Being in an operating room has always been where I wanted to be. Although it can be scary keeping people alive while they're in surgery you get to see so many cool things within the body that you don't see in a regular day. It definitely takes along time to get there but with the grace of god, hope, and faith I will pursue my dream.

I plan on becoming a traveling nursing practitioner. During my college years I plan on joining whatever class or program to become a NP sooner than the 6-8 years.  Nursing practitioners work with patients at different locations. Nurse Practitioners order medications, diagnose patients, preform and interpret test (lab work, x-rays) and treat patients conditions. They can be stationed in a hospital, a doctors office and or a clinical setting. I think that this certain career path is best fit for me because I love helping others, I've done a lot of research on this career path, and I would be able to travel while getting paid for it all. Traveling around the US will also help further my decision to go back to school and become a doctor in a state that is best fit for not only myself but my future family as well.

Nearly every sports fan has dreamt of becoming a sports agent. These professionals spend countless hours with players, coaches, and other agents. It's a fantastic way to stay "in the game." But what does it take to become a sports agent?

What is a Sports Agent?

"A sports agent handles the business and legal deals for professional athletes, negotiates contracts and endorsement deals, handles negative publicity and helps athletes manage their money," said Johnson & Wales professor and online instructor Patrick Leary, Ed.D. Duties for sports agents also often involve finding and negotiating contract deals for players. In the world today, many professional sports players have their own sports agents. These professionals form relationships with players and negotiate salaries and contract deals with teams. Sports agents are typically the go-between from playter to organization and vice versa. The agent works to get the best possible deal for his or her client, who is, in most cases, the player.

But that's not where their duties end, in fact in today's sports world, agents have to have an eye for talent too. "Today's sports agents also spend a considerable amount of time scouting new talent with hope of signing new player-agent contracts," Leary explained.

What Skills Are Needed?

Many skills are suitable for a career as a sports agent, but some skills outweigh others, namely:

A Passion for Sports

While many of us enjoy watching sports from time to time, sports agents are people who eat, breathe, and dream about sports every single day. Sports agents have a huge love for sports and they are constantly crunching numbers, talking with players, and dealing with many different facets of the game.

People-Person

The industry blends practical aspects of business, sales, and sports, all at a high level. That said, there is a lot of person-to-person interaction involved. Sports agents are frequently meeting with team representatives, players, and coaches about strategy, contract details, and much more. All of these instances require a high level of communication, and those with the best communication skills are primed to outperform the rest. If you enjoy communicating with others constantly-and you love sports-then a sports agent career could be right for you.

Sales Skills

Communication is key for sports agents, but it's also extremely important to have sales skills. Player careers are often very short. They need, and deserve, to get as much out of their contracts as possible. On the other side, the team often has to meet salary cap restrictions, and they have a number of players they need to make happy with that salary cap. According to Leary, when it comes to making the best deal for their player, sports agents who have marketing knowledge thrive. "The most successful agents must have marketing savvy in order to enhance the brand profile of their clients through social media marketing, player appearances and promotions, as well as endorsement deals," Leary explained. Both the organization and the player want to make a good deal. Good sports agents negotiate with both parties to find a deal that works for everyone-a process that requires exemplary sales skills.

Work Environment

The work environment varies, but sports agents typically work independently or as a part of an agency. If you're just starting out in the profession, then you may begin conducting research and helping out with logistics. Independent sports agents are typically seasoned experts who handle the whole process on their own.

What's the Salary of a Sports Agent?

According to Payscale.com, the average annual sports agent salary is $59,829. However, sports agent salaries are extremely diverse, so you can make much more than this if you work for a big name like LeBron James, Tom Brady, or Mike Trout. That said, it is very common for a sports agent to make six figures or more. According to Payscale, the top 10% of annual sports agent salaries are $90,000. On the other hand, the bottom 10% are paid only $27,000 on average.

What Type of Education is Needed?

In order to become a sports agent, it is common for these professionals to have an extensive list of academic accomplishments. For one, a background in sports management and sales is frequently needed. However, a law degree is another approach to take for many aspiring sports agents. That is because there are constant contract negotiations and legal hoops to jump through, so having this experience can be extremely useful.

Sports Agent Education

According to Leary, sports agents typically have a fair amount of schooling under their belt. "Many sports agents are graduates of sports management programs at the undergraduate who then go on to pursue a law degree," he said. "However a law degree is not necessary to become a sports agent." While having a law degree can be a great step in the right direction, many sports agents also have a degree in sports management.

Many aspiring sports agents will first obtain an undergraduate degree in sports management and then go on to receive a law degree. Another approach is to take a master's degree program focused on sports leadership or something similar. These courses and degrees provide key skills and a solid foundation of sales, marketing, communication, and more-all of which are needed to excel as a sports agent.

A child Psychologist is someone who is a mental health professional who uses psychology and therapy to evaluate and help children learn how to cope with their life and relationship issues and mental health conditions. Whether it is physically, emotionally, socially, or mentally.

In Connecticut the salary for being a child psychologist varies from 60k-120k  per year

To able to practice child psychology in the state of Connecticut you have to have your doctorate degree in psychology and it must be approved by an accredited school  (The state of CT have strict standards for the licensing of mental healthcare professionals)

Every Job specializes in specific skills that helps their job benefit with whom ever they are working with. To be a child psychologist the best skills to consider are enthusiasm, Trustworthiness, specialized knowledge, and last but not least communication.

The best personality traits someone should characterize in if they want to become a child psychologist are patience, empathy, ethics, and someone who is open minded.  With being a child psychologist you try your best to do what will benefit the child's mental health.

After researching this career and considering this as a future career path I have strong willed opinion on believing I would make a good child psychologist because personally I love trying to help people (specifically kids) find different opportunities to help them better their lives and find new ways to cope with trauma or in general make their day or life a little easier. I love that a big part of being a child psychologist is that you get to experience what it is like communicating with someone and seeing why they feel the way they do about life. Having someone trust you to make a a good impact on them makes you feel good about yourself knowing that you helped someone.

Out of the multiple ways students "can get involved" here at NHA is by doing community service. You have the option to choose to do community service at our state's very own food bank where you can do numerous tasks, from packaging and organizing meat into boxes in the refrigeration room to even something as minimal as sweeping the floors. One tip that I think is very important when going to do community services at the food bank is to bring some extra layers with you because it tends to be very cold in the refrigeration room where produce such as meat is stored.

The best thing I enjoyed about this experience was that you get to work as a team with other students who you may have never even met or decided to talk to at school, and while working you get to know each and every person who works alongside you.

Software Engineers design, develops, tests, and maintains software for computers. Applying both engineering principles and knowledge of programming languages to create programs or software solutions for clients.

The reason I want to dedicate myself to this career path is mainly because I'm already into computers. It's a job that requires teamwork as well, as you'll need to communicate with clients and coworkers on a project. It's a challenging career, with plenty of problem solving and trial and error when it comes to making code. But that's sort of the type of challenge I look for. I had initially sought out for that sort of challenge in Computer Hardware Engineering, but after hearing from people in that field claiming they're not the biggest fan of it, and with the risk of being able to mess up a piece of hardware due to a small mistake, I decided that I would take a safer route.

Plus, they get paid well in Connecticut. With a $101,160 in CT and a $104,930 in New Haven, AND a bright outlook for future jobs in this field, why wouldn't I want to pursue it? While yes, this is a career I want to take because I'd be happy with it, some of that happiness comes with the bag that it'll rake in.

University of Connecticut, or UCONN, is a public university in Storrs, Connecticut
With an acceptance rate of below half the applicants at a 45.4% as of 2022, the school is moderately selective with which people they let in. But, they also use other factors to determine one's chances of entry. Like most institutions, they look for uniqueness in people. Extracurriculars, talent, character, they don't just look at academics, but the applicant themselves. They're also test optional until next year, so that's always a plus. Their average for the SAT/ACT is 1170(SAT) and 26(ACT)

I personally want to go to UCONN more than any other college or university because of a few reasons.

One, it's BIG.

When I was first looking into UCONN a while back, I was initially turned off. It was basically right in the middle of nothing but forest. I'm not a fan of rural places, I'm more of a city boy.

That changed though, once I had taken a trip to the university as a class trip. It was huge, bigger than I would've ever thought. It was like a city within itself, which was pretty much all it took to change my mind.

Two, all of my future careers have academics in there.

I want to pursue computer programming, or carpentry. Former because I enjoy working with computers, and latter because I like working with wood, and I've already got some experience under my belt. UCONN has academic classes for both of those paths I want to take. They even have trades for them, too.

Three, study abroad.

YES. Everything about this. It's been a dream of mine to see everything that the world has to offer, and a life goal to do so, cause as AZ says on Nas' Life's a Bi*ch, "'Cause you never know when you're gonna go". I'll see, do, and experience as much as I could before I peace out.

Four, and most importantly. Here's where I get a little personal.

My mother went to UCONN and graduated from there. She was the main reason I really considered it, as she had nothing but good to say about the place.

She's not here with us any longer. But the loss made me feel even more inclined to try my damn best to get into this school, no matter what. If I don't, I'll go to Gateway or summ, ion know

I'm kidding on that last part. I won't worry about if's right now, just aim for my goal until I hit it. I also wish to stay in state, with all my family and friends. Though most people say that Connecticut kinda sucks, I gotta see all what it has to offer outside of New Haven before making that judgement.

Description: Hamden High's girl's swim and dive occurs during the fall sports season, where we practice at least six days a week Monday through Friday from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm, and 8:00 to 10:00 am on Saturdays. We compete against neighboring schools in the area at least once a week to every week or so.

I joined the swim and dive team this past season. At first, I was hesitant to join the team because I was a bit concerned due to the lack of diversity, but gradually over time as we competed I did notice here and the other black people on rival teams, which kinda made me a more happy and excited to just simply compete on a team that didn't look like me at all. The only downside that I personally had while swimming on Hamden's girl's swim and dive team was the lack of diversity and a better feeling of inclusion as a person of color. Overall, I still recommend any students interested in competitive swimming or diving to just go for it even if no one looks like you, and know that you can and will be the change that any team or even group needs to become better.

Basketball could test a lot of your abilities and a lot of mental more than physical. People would think it's easy from the inside in but coming from a basketball background it's a lot of hard work and sacrifices. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to learn and take it seriously or just to have fun. And for the teammates that you may not like at first but those are the friends that you always gonna remember down the line when you get older and I would advise everyone to give this a try and you never know it may take you places you never imagined.

PARIS FELICIANO-COSME - 1st Draft_ COLLEGE ESSAY

Family Lawyer:
Family lawyers are legal professionals that specialize in matters to do with family law. They handle legal issues that are concerned with members of the family. Such legal issues include divorce, child custody, and guardianship among others. Family lawyers can act as mediators when family disagreements develop.

Family law is a legal practice area that focuses on issues involving family relationships such as marriage, adoption, divorce, and child custody, among others. Attorneys practicing family law can represent clients in family court proceedings or in related negotiations. They can also draft important legal documents such as court petitions or property agreements.

To be a family lawyer you need to:
1) Earn a bachelors degree in college/university
2) Pass the LSAT
3) Complete 3-4 years of Law school
4) Get a law license
5) Earn continuing education credits

In addition we need these skills to make a great case and to be there for your clients:

Analytical thinking:
A big part about being a lawyer is looking at evidence and seeking a conclusion on which is the most beneficial for your client. Family lawyers use their analytical thinking skills to come up with solutions. Family cases can be quite complex and emotional, making it important to use your analytical thinking skills to figure out what's best for everyone involved.

Communication:
A essential part of being a family lawyer is that you will need to use communication skills every day. From writing important documents to speaking in court, your written and verbal communication skills are an important part of clearly conveying your ideas and arguments. Having strong communication skills can help you connect with clients and make a solid case for them.

Empathy:

Whether a couple is dealing with a dramatic divorce or joyful adoption, emotions can be quite strong in family court. While family lawyers need to remain logical and follow legal procedures, it is also important for them to treat their clients with empathy. Having empathy skills means that you can understand how someone is feeling in a certain situation. While you aren't a therapist, you may need to be a comforting presence when working in this career.

Negotiation
When it comes to any court case, there is a lot of negotiation involved. This is especially true when working with divorce or custody cases. Having strong negotiation skills is an important part of ensuring your clients get fair treatment in the courtroom. Many people involved in family court cases are in vulnerable situations, especially children, making it important that you can make a good case for your client's needs.

Organization:

Family lawyers work with a great deal of paperwork and important documents. Having organizational skills can help you keep everything in order. Along with being able to easily access your files, staying organized ensures that you are protecting the privacy of your clients. You are always sure that your confidential information is only going to authorized parties.

Research

While your client may provide you with useful information, you'll need to use your research skills to fully understand the entire situation you are dealing with. Through research, you can find useful evidence and key testimonies. You may even use your research skills to conduct interviews with people involved in your case. Asking the right questions is an important part of finding the information you need to best serve your client.

I would like to be a lawyer in the long run because I am interested in it and seeks my interests as well. This semester I took a Introduction to Criminal Law and it really made me opened my eyes of what lawyers do to day to day basis. While taking this class it also made me realize that I do not want to do criminal law. Criminal law is to scary for me and seems like something that would scare me. Especially for cases like murder and sex crimes. I finished that class in May and I did research about the different types of laws there are. The ones that really seeked my interest was family law and immigration law. One of the reasons is that they make the most money and the cases arent too hardcore and scary as Criminal law. But I have been devoted to being a lawyer for the 4 years and I know that being a law student is a lot. But the benefits that I would gain from it especially as a black women would mean the world to me.

Amherst College is a private liberal arts college in Amherst, Massachusetts. Founded in 1821 as an attempt to relocate Williams College by its then-president Zephaniah Swift Moore, Amherst is the third oldest institution of higher education in Massachusetts.

I picked this school because I went there in person and I absolutely loved it. I loved the vibe, the classes, how modern the building was and how it was able to provide my costs for internships and taking a class abroad. During April Break, me and my squash team went to 11 different colleges and universities during that week. While going on the trips I didnt have any expectations of finding a school that I really liked. But I did, I found two amazing schools that I fell in loved with. Those two colleges were Amherst college and Connecticut College. Both of the schools just felt IT for me and gave me the vibe that I can potenetially see myself here and loving this school even more. The size of the school was perfect and the landscape and the campus was gorgeous. I still fantasize till this day both of these schools. Out of the 11 colleges and universities we went too. Those were the biggest schools that stood out to me out of the crowd. Amherst College especially were able to provide a major specifically for my future career. Which is being a lawyer, they had a major named Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought. I found this out because the tour guide I had majored in that and minored in economics as well. So I was able to ask important questions about the class and how she deals with the stress of being a student who majors in law because it is not easy. She answered my questions and told me that coming here was one of the best decisions that she has made, Primairly because of the offers and the opportunities that they provided her for both her freshmen and sophmore year.

I was able to work with this organization during my internship, I learned and witnessed a lot within those three weeks that I had been there. My host was extremely honest with me about the strengths that you should have when working with people that need your help but have tendencies to overstep. I had the opportunity to see some of their difficult working situations but while I was there making people happy was the best part of the experience. Even though I was only there for a short period of time witnessing all of the work that they did for the community that’s extremely underrated and the challenges being overcome also taught me about the workplace

While working at Chick-fil-A, I gained friends that I still keep in contact with months after no longer working there anymore.
