Onslow County Partnership for Children
·
Board Member
Onslow County Partnership provides a wide variety of
services that improve early education care and health care in the civilian
sector of my community.
Board member would allow for me to vote in ways the funding
of the state funded program are spent.
Being able to have a voice for families that need improved civilian care
would be very satisfying. This position
would also challenge me, as I only have a limited experience in working in the private
sector. Military childcare world is very
different than that of civilian care.

Director of Marine and Family Programs
This is my ultimate goal career goal. Being able to enhance the quality of life for
active duty families with lasting directorial decisions that truly make a
difference.
I would need a wide knowledge base of
services that are provided to Marines and Families.
This would include; Behavioral Health and
Wellness, Career Assistance, Exceptional Family member program, Children, Youth
, and Teen Programs, Libraries, Personal Finance, Marine Corps Family Team Building,
and Transition Assistance. I would need more experience in the area of services
provided to exceptional family members and extensive knowledge and
understanding of the behavioral health piece.

ABA Therapist
You would need an educational background in special need
education services along with occupational therapy and physical therapy needs
of children that require additional modified care. The psychological piece would be very
difficult for myself to understand and would not interest me. I become very emotional attached to children
with special needs and struggling with the impacts of war on the child mentally
and physically would challenge me.
The ABA therapist sounds interesting to me. I have always enjoyed watching children in their occupational therapy and physical therapy classes. Some of the activities they do are so fun and they really seem to enjoy them most of the time. I am unlike you when it comes to psychology I guess. My undergrad degree is in Psychology, and I found it to be extremely interesting but like you I would not be able to put myself in a job that required those kind of services. I take that kind of work home with me and it weighs on me too much causing extreme stress. That's why I switched to ECE. I still get to work with kids but without so much pain and struggle.
ReplyDeleteI would also love to work in the medical field with children. I found a career called child life specialist where you would work with pediatrics. This is my dream.
