Health Communication Profile

I recently had an epiphany as to where I wanted to go with my life and my career. After working at a day care facility for a year, caring for young children, along with a renewal in the passion I exude for soccer, I have become more aware of the importance of health in the human battle for physical and mental well-being on the individual level. I believe that this state of mind is rare and hard to achieve. So difficult that, in order to attain this level of happiness, people, including myself, turn to alternative means to achieve an illusion of happiness. In some situations, these things are contradictorily harmful to the human body and paradoxically hurt the individual on the personal, physical, mental , social, and behavioral level. Although my thought process is quite vague towards the topic, I wish to explore further these issues.
I disregarded a career path that would lead me to enter the world of consumer corporations. I believe my time would be better spent helping individuals that, due to whatever circumstances may be, do not have access to proper health care and health education. It would be an outlet for me to express my concerns and passions about the importance of health in one’s day to day life.
Upon entering into the school of health, if I am so permitted, I will begin my exploration into the policy, methods, practice, issues and functions of the healthcare world. I also plan to learn the strategies involved in the art of interpersonal communication about healthcare. I believe that along with my skills acquired in my health communication classes, as well as the innovative and creative development gained through my studying of literature, will prepare me for a career in the healthcare industry. Healthcare is the biggest domestic issue in politics today, and I want to play a role, however small that role may be, in the change and reformation in the ethics surrounding the industry of Healthcare.
