It was the daughter of a soldier. Amazingly, she was crying and was trying to get help for her mother. She could get the words out for the tears. I put my arms around her to comfort her. She calmed down to tell me her father was fighting her mother. My husband said he would go. He left, and I kept the child with me. After a few minutes; my husband returned and instructed me to call the military police. Strangely enough, I asked my husband to let me try before we call the MP. I ask my husband to allow her to stay in the apartment until I returned. When I arrived at the soldier apartment, they were both cussing each other out. The living quarters were in disarray. I walked into the living room. They were so angry with one another that they did not notice me standing in there. I said in a loud voice, “At ease!” a word used to get soldiers’ …show more content…

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…

    Upon graduation, I am interested in pursuing a career in the military either in physical therapy or a branch of civil affairs that focuses on analyzing local areas in foreign countries who need assistance with matters of rebuilding efforts, education, and health and disease-related issues to name a few. My point of contact was Ms. Justina Mosley, the clinic’s own Health Promotion Advisor. The Oceana Branch Health Clinic provides a range of services for mostly active-duty military, but depending on the specified service requested, certain services are also open to dependents of active-duty military, retirees, and beneficiaries of active-duty military personnel. Services offered by the clinic include physical therapy, prescription filling, eye exams, corrective vision treatment, physical examinations, and dental examinations, as well as oral surgery.

    My professional goal is to obtain Walden’s Master’s degree in mental health counseling with a specialization in trauma and crisis and become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I would especially like to work with soldiers who have been affected by frequent deployments and their families to help them overcome their personal and social problems that have, without a doubt, strong negative influences on their lives. Throughout my life I have always been drawn to opportunities that helped others lead a healthier and happier life. As a military spouse I have witnessed the need the military community has for qualified mental health professionals and decided to pursue the counseling profession to give back to the community that has provided my family with so much. My own personal experiences as a military spouse have helped me become quite familiar with the lifestyle and many challenges members of the military and their families face. I feel my own experiences would put me in the unique position to truly understand the conflicts of my clients, which will in turn increase credibility with my clients, and should greatly contribute to a good client-therapist relationship. My background allows for a close bond with the community I would like to work with. I feel I could make a significant difference in military families’ lives with the aid of a degree in mental health counseling.…

    Since I graduated high school (1987) I have bounced around to many fields. I’ve been a kitchen worker, shift manager in fast food, worked in advertising, a physical therapy assistant, a teacher’s aide and even a ski instructor. Every job has been a building block and I have learned something new at each one. The most recent turning point that has propelled me to head back to school was a series of events that were initiated by other people and affected my family and myself. I have always been drawn to helping others and while in the physical therapy field I enjoyed helping patients find services that the need. One day I heard an ad on the radio about Bay Path Saturday college, looked up the website and saw the human service program and decided to go for it.…
