My New Career Path!

     Recently I decided to change my major. I have changed my major from Elementary School Education to Radiology, specializing in Ultrasound Technology.  I first went to sign up for classes in the Health Science building and that thing is HUGE! It gives the feel of a hospital just like its intention! I proceeded to room 325, where I met Christie, who works at the front desk. I think that she is probably the nicest person that I have ever met that works at MSSU. She was very helpful and she helped me sign up for classes. Because I signed up for classes so late by mistake, I had a hard time finding the classes I needed, but somehow she helped me! I’m not saying it was any easy task! First of all there was something wrong with her computer while I was there, which was not her fault at all! Sometimes technology can have a mind of its own! It took me about two hours to get signed up for classes, but she was very informative about the program. She was straight to the point and she didn’t sugar coat anything. She told me that the semester I am about to go into is going to very hard. I am glad that she told me exactly how she felt about my classes so I would know what to expect. Christie also said that 50 people apply for the program every year and only 10 get accepted into it, so I should work very hard to maintain my grades and if I am struggling, that I should definitely seek a tutor if need be.  I was informed of what I needed to get into the program and how I needed to do it. She told me about how I needed to take the summer to job shadow radiologists as much as I could to help me have a better chance at getting into the program as well and so I will know what to expect with the Radiology Program. I know that right now I am very scared to start the new school year, but at the same time I am excited. She said that she loves helping people sign up for the classes because these people she is helping will one day be able to help her medically or perhaps one of her family members. She was very professional and she knew a lot about all of the classes and the Radiology Program. Needless to say I am very scared, yet very excited about the future to come. I’m not too confident about how well I will do in school, but I am glad because that will keep me on my toes so I can strive to do well. It's not very helpful that my family members seem to be viewing my career change negatively as well, saying that they do not think that I can do it, but I'll prove them wrong. The future seems so far away and I can’t wait! I wish that I could just reach up and grab it and get it over with, but I cannot.  I am looking forward to my first attempt at getting into the Radiology Program. If I don’t make it in the first time I will try until I do!
