I have been goin to Dixie State now for about 6 months. I have changed my major about 3 times not knowing what the right career path will be for me. I have decided after much thought that I will try my hardest to become a physician's assistant. I absolutely love health, and because of my health issues, I have researched much and have a great knowledge about medicines and even sickness. I am not a doctor (yet) so there is so much that I have to learn. I have even picked a PA school and unfortunately it is so far from any family or friends. It is called Miami Dade college and it has a very reputable PA program and people that get accepted there generally go off to have promising careers if they put in the work and effort.
I always pictured myself being bigger than what I am now. Not settling for less than what I am capable of. However the PA school and program maybe the death of me, as I heard it is very hard and competitive. Despite the low cost and the convenient AS degree in PA, it is very hard to get in. I have heard that out of every 5oo applicants, 40 are accepted. My gpa is good at 3.2 and the requiremnt is a 2.7. It is a 2 year program, 9-5 and yes it will be a hard move for us all to move away from friends and family.
This is what I want to do, but I may not be accepted, so my plan B will be to finish off my associates with as good as grades as possible along with as much healthcare experience as I can, and apply at another PA program where I can recieve my BS in PA. So we'll see what the future holds. I am so happy to be in school. I feel like I am going somewhere and that I will be able to take care of my family properly with finances not being a huge burden as they have been for the last several years and I will be doing something I love- helping people.
So if you are reading this, please pray for me that I reach my goals! Haha! I hope that I am strong enough to do it.
