Student Success Statement

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”   -Matt Biondi

Determination can change all the failure that you have had into life into life into something extraordinary that makes you achieve your dreams and goals. This a great statement for me because I believe that this can happen when I was a freshman in high school I was doing horrible in all my academics and even my life, I was constantly being called into the office for something that I did or they heard I did something but when I started 10^th grade and a new  school  I knew that it was time for me to change and I did not give up on becoming the best person that I can be. On this day I am an 11^th grader almost done with it and on my way to becoming a senior with my grades only being A’s and B’ when my grades used to be C’s and D’s. Everything is possible if you just believe and have determination in achieving the goals that you want, but you have to work hard in order to be a better person or in order for you to make your goal come true. I am going to continue doing what I’m doing and trying harder to get those grades up where I know that they can be. I am proud of myself for having persistence. 

                                         

Ophthalmic Technician

Ophthalmic Technician

Duties and Responsibilities:

They are also known as technologists help ophthalmologist, they collect data and measurements to allow the correct diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases and problems. They usually work at hospitals, clinics, or for a private ophthalmic clinic. They perform simple eye exams, they assist in eye surgery, and they explain the diagnostic and the procedure to the patients.

Average Salary: $14,000- $25,000

Educational Requirements:  

To become an Ophthalmic Technician you will need a high school diploma or a GED certificate. After you have either one of these you need to attend a two year college prior to beginning ophthalmic training programs, the programs last very little but can last up to two years.

I do not wish to become this because I feel that I might need something more challenging not something that takes only a little of time to complete.

                              

Licensed Practical Nurse

             Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities:

They work with and under the direction of registered nurses, and physicians. They take care of handicaps, injured, and sick patients. They have a lot of responsibilities with patients like checking there pulse, high blood pressure, and checking there temperature. They inject patients, change their clothes, and bath the patients. Their responsibility entirely is to take care of the patients in nursing homes, hospitals, and care facilities.

Average Salary:  $16,000- $ 23,000

Education:

Sometimes a high school diploma or GED is not always required, it is encouraged.  LPNs do not have the extensive professional education that is required for a registered nurse.  State approved training programs are offered by the hospitals, vocational schools, junior colleges and private schools. 

I do not think the I would like to be a licensed practical nurse because I wouldn't like to be changing the patients and having to put injections on the patients.
