I am never bored, when I work in the lab. I can spend to many hours non-stop in the lab. I know that it is very hard to get in the PTA program in Cerritos College, because of the limited quantity students for every semester. And plus the program picks the students from the top to the bottom. So this is a purpose to make me strongly motivated to get the program. For some reason, I stopped studying for couples years. But I believe that it is never too late to follow my dream. I am a freshman student, but I will earn the Associate Degree of Science in 2018. I know that work in the Medical Field is not easy, but I have studied enough to qualify for PTA program. I am still studying to get more credits and knowledges in my major. Besides that, I am responsibility, patience and highly efficient person. I know that I have to handle and deal with too many things to become a PTA. For instance, working in the hospital is always busy and stressful, especially in our major requires employees work with the elderly patients or help the patients such as recovering from accident, illness or after a trauma and a coma. And one more reason is that I really like the environment working in areas program such as hospital, rehabilitation or nursing house. I am a very hard working person, I can work too many hours straight. Some people afraid of work and talk with the elderly people, but I am not kind of that problem. I know that to become a PTA, I have to finish all prerequisite classes and experience working or volunteer in hospital or medical area will be a bonus. I try to apply to some hospital to get more experiences, and now I am talking the Phlebotomist program that can help me to get in the medical field. It took me a long time to make this decision, I do not choose this major because of my family wants me to do. I research this program through the website, watch the

At the same time, my desire to work directly with people and be able to make a positive and lasting change to their lives by empowering them and helping discover their strengths and confidence in themselves to achieve their goals, led me to a realization that a career in occupational therapy would be a perfect fit for me.

I admire the mission statement of the PAS program, as I am a firm believer in providing excellent care to all populations. A Physician Assistant, as well as any other medical professional, should provide compassionate care to those needing it, despite their financial status, race, disabilities, and more. As a future PA, I want to advocate for all populations and let their voices be heard, inside and outside of the walls of medicine. One reason I am compassionate about advocating for my patients is because I understand what it is like to be in their shoes.
These numbers imply that the physician assistant job outlook is expected to increase by 30 percent between these years; this rate is much higher compared to other professions.

I have been able to work side-by-side with a Pathologists ' Assistant since day one and because of this, I fully understand their role in the medical society. I owe a lot of what I learned as a grossing technician to them because of their guidance, input, and examples. The more I asked them questions and the more I watched them work, the more captivated I became by their role and realized I wanted to be in their position. As a result, I believe that my close working relationship with the Pathologists ' and Pathologists ' Assistants, as well as the exposure and knowledge I have gained by working in the department will help me succeed, particularly in Loma Linda University 's Pathologists ' Assistant program. Loma Linda University is a good fit for me a few reasons.
However, I want to do more I want to be able to follow the process from beginning to end and do the evaluations. I want to be able to do the testing and the measuring. I have set out on this journey of health care because I want to help people go from post-operative to back to fully functioning with realistic goals in place. I want to be able to walk the journey with the patients and let them know that they are not on it alone. Through Physical Therapy I feel that patients get more than just rehabilitation of an injury or surgery but they get a change in mindset from injured to functioning independently again as they did before.
