My Dream Career
Selecting a career is the most important decision in a persons life. The Health care industry has a good future in the United States of America. According to the American Department of Labor, the Medical assistant is one of the fastest growing health care professions. I have always been inclined towards health care and therefore I decided to be a medical assistant. To become a medical assistant one should possess different qualities. But the most important quality is to be a very responsible person.
The duties of a medical assistant vary in every office depending on the specialty of the doctor. Some of the administrative duties remain the same in every office. For instance, greeting patients, answering phone calls, scheduling appointments, keep the waiting area neat and tidy, patients chart filing, and sending claims to insurance companies. Some of the clinical duties are explaining treatment procedures to patients, helping the doctor during examination on patients, performing blood test in the office, drawing blood on patients, and giving injections to the patients.
During the course of my life, I went through many difficult situations which made me a very responsible person. When I was in college, I worked as tutor for Elementary School students. This helped in paying for my tuition fees and significantly reduced my parents burden. Since I came from a middle class family and being only child of my parents, I took the responsibility to help my parents financially. I went to college in the morning at 7:00 a.m and came home by 1:00 p.m. After having my lunch, I used to prepare notes for my students to teach them in the evening. I used to teach my students between 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.. After coming home, I used to work on my college assignments till late night. I continued like this for 3 years and successfully managed to get my Bachelors degree in Accounting in May, 2001.
After one year, I got married to Devang Joshi. Within a week after wedding we came to America, 20,000
