Explanation for CareersBiomedical Engineering I have had my mind
set on this career since middle school, I am in my second year of
high school now. I researched this career in depth, even to the
extent of my grandma going online to find out what college is good
for this career. I feel I will that I will be able to excel in this
career because I like helping people and coming up with new ideas.
I will strive to invent something that will be very useful to all.
Athletic trainer - My passion for sports will drive me through this
career a long way. I have played football my whole life and many
other sports and I see the trainers helping us and I said I would
do that. Learning this profession could even come in handy if I was
a coach. I say this because I may possibly become coach. It was
something I wanted to do when I already had a career foundation
set. That career foundation would be athletic training.
