I have always been interested in the business side of the company, meaning I liked doing the office work. Such as accounting, filing, posting payment transaction, and handling money.

I’ve always wanted to work in the medical field. My dream job is Obgyn, nicu nurse, or pediatric nurse 

Nobody really inspired me, it has been situations where I’ve noticed I’ve never been fully supported or didn’t have anybody to talk to so when i started doing research and figured that there is a shortage on therapist so i decided to take that career to help more people.

I've always known I wanted to work in the medical field since i was little. Most of the women in my family work in the medical field in some form or fashion so it was natural for me to want to follow in their footsteps. I've also always wanted to do something where I'm able to help people, so the medical field was the best choice for me.

My family and friends Inspired me to work in my chosen career field.Some of my family and friends are business owners and seeing them making money by doing something that they love to do inspired me to want to be a business owner.Another thing that inspired me to be a business owner was the desire for freedom ,purpose ,and the ability to create something meaningful on my own terms.I've always been driven by the idea of turning passion into impact-Building something from the ground up that reflects my values, creativity,and vision.I wanted the freedom to make decisions ,take risks ,and grow without limitations.

My parents are who inspired me in my chosen career. Having older parents and sometimes having to cater to them always showed me that I love caring for my loved ones. As I got older, I learned that my love language was caring for others in any way possible. My mom worked as a home healthcare agent for many years, and I would go with her to work as a child. I just grew to love helping people more.

One of my best friends suffered a major injury 2 years ago, causing her to need Physical Therapy. The amount of dedication she had to be able to play Soccer again was absolutely beautiful. As well as watching the way she improved in just a year was very inspirational and moved me to believe that I, too, can help people recover from injuries.

My cousin inspired me to pursue the career field I have chosen. The reason i say my cousin is because she became an rn while working and taking care of two kids all by herself and she never gave up nor did she complain about her struggle . She showed me dedication is the key .

My mother has been one of my biggest inspirations in choosing my career path. Watching her go to school at an age where most don't go to school and still find time to work and take care of her children has showed me the true meaning of dedication. Her strong abilities working in the health field has deeply influenced my decision in becoming a Physician Assistant. 

What inspired you to take the course you are taking now?

The truth is that if I could say that I felt inspired it was because of Grey's Anatomy. I really liked seeing so many doctors doing good, and the truth is that I don't like being a doctor. I like nursing because you are the one who is face to face with the patient every day. I want to be the doctor's support. I want him to trust me, that I will do everything right without fear of making a mistake.

My chosen career field is nursing, and my cousin Kenya inspired me to become a nurse.We always had conversations about how I wanted to go back to college and how nursing was a great field.Kenya's dedication, compassion, and ability to make a real difference in people's lives showed me the true essence of nursing. Her example made me passionate about helping others and committed to pursuing a career in nursing.

My uncle inspired me to pursue computer science.

My mom and my 3 daughters inspired me to chose my career field.

My mother has inspired me to chosen my career of study.

What Inspired me to become a Registered Nurse was my mother and my grandmother. My grandmother is a retired Registered Nurse, and my mom is a CNA I. To be very honest, I always had a passion of helping others and wanting to be a positive impact to someone else. My mom and grandmother showed compassion and selflessness towards others as they did their job. They inspired me because I know that I can put a smile on someone's face just by caring and being there for them and that's why I chose this career field. Taking care of people and their needs and their health is extremely important to me. Even though some people may not have a support system, I want to be theirs.

         I was inspired to become a Registered Nurse by my grandmother who has now passed away. She became very ill when I was a small child and during this period of time, she didn't have a nurse or anyone to come by to check on her, so I began to help her with bathing, putting on her clothing, doing the choirs, and even helping her with cooking meals. She told me that I had a special gift because I learned fast and that I had a heart for caring for those in need of help. Later I went to college and got my GED. Soon after getting my GED, I obtained my CNA1 license and started working. Now it's been 25 maybe 30 years of taking care of people in need, and I really would like to become a Nurse. It would make me very proud to be the first in my family to achieve my goal. 

My Aunt, I love the work she does in the law field.

My mother kinda inspired me to work in my chosen career field because she’s a nurse. But then again she didn’t because I always said when I was younger that I wanted to be a nurse. 

The person that inspired me to work in my chosen career field was my mother because she started Nursing school but she didn’t finish but I want to go to school and finish Nursing school just to make her & myself proud 

My family inspired  me to work towards CNA by analyzing them and watching what they do in the medical field, It's not my only option but CNA is mostly what I am going towards.

Honestly I inspired myself my mother just gave me the extra push to do it. My career field is still unknown because I want to be multiple things I just don't know where to start.

My mother inspired me to do this career but I'm doing this for the benefit of myself. 

Hello, I don't have a job yet. My granddad is the one who Inspired me to want to study and work in mechanics.

Who inspired me to work in my chosen field would be my brother. I chose my brother because we lost him to lung cancer two years ago. We talked about a cure for this disease a lot before passed. I may not have the cure but I definitely, wanted to work with families who have to deal with this terrible disease. I know what me and my family went through and I want to be a comfort to other families who have to deal with as well.

I have an amazing Grandmother who keeps me on my toes. She is all I have in my life and I thank God for her. She has always told to me to go back to school and get your education. Before you know it time will go by and you will wish you listen to me. She is 68 years old and pursuing her Doctorate. I really admire and love her.

My kids inspired me to do what I do today they look up to me so much and I just want the best for me and them

My inspiration is my kids, by showing them that they can go to college and succeed in it. I came back to show them they can do the same thing.

My family inspired me so much to get into the nursing field because it’s a lot of success people in my family who are in the nursing field. Growing up I loved to go to my mom’s doctors appointments when she had to go her OB appointments I knew since then I wanted to be an ultra ultrasound tech. 

My kids inspired me to work in this chosen career field; seeing that reaching out to a child at a very early age may make a difference in their future. People always say "you, can't teach an old dog new tricks" so let's try to teach new tricks to a young dog. Just about every market or grocery store you walk in today, you can hear people talking about how kids are so bad and very disrespectful in our community. I always wonder why no one has taken an initiative to bring about a change in our kids. Single parents are working two jobs to take care of their family; and most homes require both parents to work to support their household. Since children are sent to daycares for supervision and care while their parents work; this is a great opportunity to those new tricks like fostering emotional and cognitive development, promoting positive behavior and offering a safe and stimulating environment for young girls an boys. It’s amazing how the little ones arrive in the morning and they are so sleepy and tired because they don’t honor a set schedule at home for going to bed.  At daycare we never have two days that are just alike. We love trying to honor at least 75% of our schedule on time. My “Mr. Fix It “ for getting our kids on track; would be requiring them to attend school seven days a week. Remember that’s my “Mr. Fix It” and how I see getting everyone back on track.

My mother inspired me to choose this career, but my daughter is who I'm doing it for.

My kids are who inspired me to work in my chosen career field.

they look up to me so much and I just want the best for them and me.

My aunt inspired me to work in the field I do today.  I have always wanted to do something helping other people.  At the time that I chose the medical field, I was going through a divorce and had two small children.  I knew I had to do something fast and my aunt had been an RN for years.  She suggested EMS to me to get me "gut ready" for being a nurse and it was a quicker schooling route.  That is what I chose and worked my way through school to become a Paramedic.  Time to get that RN degree now! :) 

My mother inspired me to do what I decided to do in my school career... She has really helped me along the way.

The people who inspires me the most is Jesus and my family. I ask Jesus to give me the strength to move forward in my challenging times and he answers my prayers. My family gives me a reason to challenge myself for a better future. I look towards positivity and try to block out the negativity and learn from my mistakes for them and myself. I am inspired to be the best knowledgeable mother that can answer my son's questions and be a positive role model for him. In addition, I work towards a loving relationship with my family and bring in positive atmosphere into my home and keep out the negatives. 

My mother is my inspiration she has worked really hard to be where she is now in the medical field being a nurse and I just love seeing how committed she is doing her job.

My daughter inspires me, she is the reason why I push myself so hard.

My children inspired me to study in the field that I am in.

My mother are my inspiration, My mother has came a long way just by showing what it's life living in the real world she has done a lot of these that I can discover later on in life.

My grandad and memaw stayed in and out of hospitals a lot while I was growing up. I also used to help take care of them and play "doctor". It made me want to help others in the world and learn all the amazing things that come with working in the medical field. I love the show Grey's Anatomy and Dr. Addison Montgomery inspires me the most, I would love to be her in the hospital.  

My siblings are my inspiration. My siblings have came so far in life and are now engineers. To be an engineer is much work be they were dedicated to make it happen.

I have always loved horses and cared for people. So that's why I have chosen to have a career in doing equine therapy.

My Inspiration for all aspects of art came from my Mother and grandmother. However my dad inspired me to chase my dreams no matter what happened. My Grandmother moved from New York to Virginia to become a school teacher while my father was growing up to become a business owner and my mother became a nurse. With all of them teaching me the knowledge they have learned throughout their careers  has helped me gain a vast perspective of the artistic world and this also helps me get the story or meaning that inspired my work.

My inspiration to my art and teaching career came from my mother.She raised me and even taught me a thing or two in art and also is a science teacher and ever since then to this day,I've been a changed and well nurtured soul.I wish to achieve to the very best I can in life starting in my attempt to earn this degree.I wish to assist my mother and follow in her footsteps as she is the one person I look up to if I had to choose one!

My husband and children inspire me daily to be the best in the career I've chosen. I have watch my significant other navigate through so much over the years, I am inspired to give him the world! Growing up I didn't have much but was adopted by a family member in my teenage years, that experience forever changed me. I am motivated to show my family the different countries I've traveled. This degree will give me the tools necessary to start a business and build generation wealth! 

I am inspired by my wife to work in my chosen career field. She has been such a blessing, though we grew up together in Cofield, NC, she has moved mountains for our family so much so we've built our dream home and have the most intelligent, beautiful and courageous children! This career field/degree will be a stepping stone for starting our first business! 

My daughter and all the other children that have grown up around me have encouraged and inspired me to become an elementary teacher. I also knew that I wanted to do something that was pleasing to God as well where I could help spread kindness and His love. Personally, I think this is the best career field that I could be in. 

My daughter Sofia was my biggest inspiration. I had a really difficult pregnancy with her and we both just about died. She stayed in the NICU for almost a year and is chronically Ill. I want to be able to help people.

I can't say what or who, but I can give you a series of events that led up to this day. While in high school I would finish school and through a local home health agency I was employed to work with my great grandmother. Once I graduated high school, I went on to obtain my CNA 1&2 license as well as my phlebotomy. I began working in a nursing home and went from there to working in a hospital. I have a caring and nurturing heart. It makes me happy to help others especially the elderly. While working in the hospital I thought of going back to school to get my nursing degree but at that time I wasn't driven enough. It's such a fulfilling field to be in. No matter where I ended up working, I always saw the medical part of it for example I was working as an SGT for a security company during Covid and was basically forced into a healthcare role by having to take temperatures of the employees, handing out PPE, and making sure they washed their hands or used hand sanitizer before they came in as well as basically triaging them with a questionnaire where their answers would determine their entry to the facility. I had one employee who I could see was visibly having trouble breathing but he was saying he was tired from walking, but I was assessing him while talking to him and he was abnormal breathing, so I called the safety manager, and he made him go to the medical we had on site they called the ambulance shortly after and he was taken to the hospital. His girlfriend approached me the next day to thank me for saving his life because upon going to the hospital they found out only 25% of his heart was functioning. I knew this was my calling. I went back to Halifax and took my CNA 1 again because I let mine expire and the teacher kept saying I think you make a great RN you should really consider going to nursing school. I have loved everything about the medical field since I started working in it. I come from a family of healthcare professionals, and many friends as well. My mom being the closest. I'm a licensed esthetician and I'd love to be an Aesthetician at some point or at least work as one. So, although I can't say exactly who or what, but I know I love it, and I'm determined to get my degree then go on to follow in my mom's footsteps and get my BSN. 

What inspires me the most is actually my son. He motivates me to do better every day. He makes me want to be the best person not only for him but myself as well. I think that he wants me to be happy with who I am. I think it pushes me to become the greatest person that I know I can be because he's looking up to me as a goal setter, his aspiration of being magnificent, and just a wonderful person overall because I mean the most to him. I think that being able to look out over my life I want to be able to say I did something I truly love because I was able to have something to keep me going towards my end goal. I think that helping people is something I was called to do and now I'm doing what I need in order to be better at helping those who need it the most.

When I sit back and think about who and what inspired me to get my nursing degree, I would have to say my son. I became a CNA a short while after I had him and he was my motivation to get my CNA's and better myself for him. I had always said I would go get my RNs once he had graduated from high school. I actually enrolled in school for my degree a year before he graduated. He graduated a year early and at the age of sixteen. I was so proud of him; even though he is done with school, and I am still going he will always be my motivation to not quit. I tell myself every semester this is getting hard, and I want to quit, but then I think about how hard he pushed himself to graduate to make me proud and I want to graduate from college and make him proud and show him that his mother is not a quitter no matter how many times I have told him I wanted to quit. I tell him I want to switch my major, but I know deep down I do not because I love what I do as a CNA, and I know that I will make a great nurse one day.

Personally, I can't just name a single person that inspired me because the village that I have surrounding me is what gave me the inspiration to want to become a better me and push myself to be able to put letters behind my name one day. Currently, I work in the medical field in the business department and to know its a degree program out there that allows me to advance further into what I'm currently doing has also become an eye opener to want push my education farther. Lastly, I have a bundle of joy on the way and before he arrives I want to lay the foundation to a path of success to where I know I'll be comfortable with not only job security but making a comfortable living for my little family. 

The person that inspired me the most was my bestfriend , she showed me that there are more things to life other than working all the time. She wanted my career to expand and that is exactly what im going to do . My future husband also expressed to me that I should get back into school and build a better career , yes it's going to be challenging but im willing to go the extra mile for them . They are my biggest support system and I will forever be grateful for them both .

My family and friends inspired me to get my business degree,because I enjoy cooking and one day open my own place.I hope that a little girl/boy that look like me can know that they can also do it.

My mom and a few of my cousins inspired me to work in this field because ever since I was a little girl I always have wanted to be a cop or somewhere working in the court system. Also, I believe that someday I could possibly help people that's another reason I have chosen this career path.
