Topic > Life Calling Strategy Statement - 949

After meeting my academic advisor and one of the Chinese dietitians, I learned many strategies to achieve my goal. In other words, I stated my goals after my meeting with them. They provided me with some information and advice, which helped me a lot. I think I already know what I want for my future. First, I met with my academic advisor about to apply to graduate school in mid-October. He is a very kind person who helped me contact the admission center and also the HPER school. After talking with her, I find that I feel better and have more confidence. To be honest, I lost confidence after changing majors three times in college. I'm a final year student, but sometimes I'm still afraid of not knowing what I really like and my interest. I talked to my academic advisor about these types of situations before taking this course. He told me I can try taking this course and I might find what I want in the process. Before taking this course, I am disappointed that my major is general studies. My academic advisor told me not to be disappointed. He said his major is English, but he is now a college counselor. He told me that in some conditions work is not related to specialization. The most important thing is that you need to find a job that is meaningful and can make you happy. She suggested I make an appointment with one of the nutrition science professors at HPER to get more information about applying to graduate school. But I haven't met the professor yet because the final is coming up and there are some other problems; I will make an appointment as soon as possible. Secondly, last month I had an informational telephone interview with a Chinese dietitian. It is not a formal interview. The diet... at the center of the paper......t. So, I should apply to graduate school with a concentration in nutritional sciences. The second sub-goal to achieve my goal is to explore the network and prepare to find a summer internship to increase the experience. I should use the strategies I learned from the career search course to find IU Alumini and ask them for a short informational interview and explore networking for the future. I also need to make an appointment with the career development center counselor to review my resume and make a job search plan. In conclusion, to achieve my goal I still need to pay more attention and make a specific plan to finish all the things I need to achieve my goal. It's a long process to reach my goal. I need to adjust my mindset and meet some people to ask for advice and get information. Even though it is not easy for me to achieve my goal, I will try my best to succeed.
