Exploration Point

My whole life, I told everyone I wanted to be a doctor, mainly because my dad was a doctor. As a kid, I would put on my dad’s scrubs to dress up as a doctor for Halloween. Whenever I received the classic question “So, what do you want to be when you grow up?”, I always responded with “Something in the medical field… I think, honestly, I’m not sure.” I knew I wanted to help people in some way but didn’t know how. Seeing all my career options made me feel overwhelmed and confused. It took a lot to finally decide to study exercise science and pursue graduate school.

I went through my freshman year of college feeling lost, not finding any interest in the majors that BYU had to offer. At first, I wanted to work with animals but didn’t see a clear path to that, so I scrapped the idea, unaware of resources that could get me there. As a volunteer missionary serving in Brazil, I discovered my love for talking with and supporting people. I wanted that to be a large aspect in my future career. Returning to BYU, as I took a Career Exploration class, I found resources and major options. After some exploration I am now interested in pursuing admission to the experience design and management program. Seeing how many opportunities are out there for students, I look forward to helping others discover them as well.
