Medical Field PathwayMy pathway is the medical field because someday I plan to work in the medical field. The reason why I want to be something in the medical field is because I love helping others and by being in that field I know that I can do that. I also want to be in the medical field because they make a lot of money. But it's not all about the money it's more because I like caring for others.

Health Careers/ Physiology |
I began my pathway my sophomore year. My sophomore year I took health careers which was the first class for my pathway. Health careers was basically learning about the body and some medical terms/abbreviations. Then my junior year I had the choice rather to take physiology or psychology as my second pathway class. I decided to take physiology with Mrs. Gonzales because I took health careers with her and I already knew who she was. Physiology is a really fun class you learn about the human body and how it functions. That class is really fun because it's interesting to learn about our bodies and also because it's fun doing dissection labs on animals to see how they are similar to us and to see the parts of the body in real life.

CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) |
This year I am taking the last course for my pathway which is CNA. CNA is an after school class that is held at JJ's first semester and at Lindsay Gardens second semester. We have it every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 to 8:30. During first semester you do pure book work and during second semester you do hands-on training at Lindsay Gardens with the residents. This class is a pretty easy class the hardest part of this class is just being there because after 8 hours in school to then go home and go back to school is hard because by then I just want to be home relaxing. This class also gives me less time to do my homework and have spare time as well, but it's worth it because I really like it.
