I started off going to school at UW-Milwaukee, after I graduated from high school. Originally I had been going to school for education. I soon decided that was not for me and switched to Linguistics as a translator. After taking a few language classes I soon decided that even though it was fun and interesting, that was not what I wanted to do with my life. I then decided to try switching my program over to nursing because I was always interested in the health field, which made my decision final to switch to MATC as I heard wonderful things about their nursing program. This was actually the first reason that I had switched to MATC.
After spending a couple semesters finishing my general courses, I was also required to receive my CNA certification, which I did. After I got certified, I quickly found a job in a nursing home as a CNA, and after working over a year their, along with other CNA's and nurses, I quickly realized that this was not the field I would be happy with for the rest of my life either. Instead of being excited about the nursing program, I soon found it making me unhappy. My next choice of program was my final choice: IT Programmer/Analyst. I have always had a knack with computers and enjoyed them, but never thought too much about it until my own father kept insisting that this would be a good choice for me to study, and work with. So far it has been the best choice, and I have no regrets. I am looking forward to graduating in this program, and finding a job as a programmer analyst.
I am a very outgoing and diverse individual, and enjoy activities such as, reading books, playing volleyball, acting in small productions, swimming, and playing around on the computer. As far as my own work experience that I have had so far, I am sad to say that I have not really held any position yet really obtaining to computers. I am a typical college student having had the simple jobs to pay my bills. I have held a couple positions in restaurants including, a serving assistant at Old Country Buffet, a server for Bartolatta's Catering, and a hostess at Texas Road House. I have also held positions in retail as well dealing with customer service, as an assistant manager at Claire's Boutiques, and a cashier at Menards. My more professional jobs I have had, are my more recent ones, including my CNA position at Clement Manor Nursing Home, and my current position as a medical assistant at Milwaukee Occupational Medicine.
I think that's about all about from me for now. I know it sounds like I am kind of a confusing person, but really I'm not. I'm just another individual in this world trying to find their true passion, and possibly realizing I have found it. So until next time, goodnight everyone!
