Give your personal opinion to T’Nazja Scott and  Celine Bass 

 

T’Nazja Scott 

In the future, my plans consist of becoming an Administrator or Director at a mental health facility. Because my background is in Social Work, I would like to still perform those duties, but on a larger scale. That said, I would love to become a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Every year, the organization has conventions that bring professionals together to tackle the ongoing war on mental illnesses.  In fact, they are the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building the lives of Americans (NAMI, 2019). When researching the organization, I was surprised to learn that they have over 15 locations in the state of Indiana.

Although I’m not currently working in the healthcare field and this is my very first course under the Healthcare Administration Master’s program, I have been in different supervisory and management roles of varying degrees for 30+ years. I may not be 100% sure of the direction my career will take as of this moment, but I do know that first and foremost, I will have to complete this degree. I have a hospital in very close proximity to where I live that offers volunteer opportunities. I believe that once I’m a little further along in my program, I will invest some time there as a volunteer to get a better feel of what the overall healthcare environment is like first-hand. I will also likely join an organization like the HCAA (Health Care Administrators Association) and attend some meetings/conferences to begin networking within the field. I’m very appreciative of Dr. Lee’s many T-shirts and baseball caps from all of the various organizations that he shared – they’ll provide a good point of reference moving forward! Lastly, if any of my classmates are in a position to hire another PG alum in a couple of years, look me up! 🙂

Good luck to everyone as you work toward your goals!

Writing a personal mission statement offers the opportunity to establish what’s important in your professional life. A personal mission statement is often an integral part of a job or graduate-level application as it provides reviewers with insights into an applicant’s strengths in, and philosophies regarding, the discipline.

The personal mission statement includes a description of your focus and goals, which can serve to provide direction for the next one to five years of your career. It can be used not only as a guide, but also as a tool of conscious reflection encouraging you to accomplish your professional objectives.  In the course of this assignment, you will evaluate potential career direction and satisfaction by reflecting on the following questions:

  • What do you hope to accomplish in the profession?
  • What positive and unique qualities do you bring to the profession?
  • How do you see your role in the profession evolving through time?
  • Why is the work you hope to do important?

Your Personal Mission Statement should be a minimum of 500 words, but it should not exceed 1000 words. Therefore, it is important that your writing be clear and concise and that your thoughts and philosophies are effectively communicated to your reader.

The Personal Mission Statement

  • Must be 500 words to 1000 words in length and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Must include a header on each page with the following:
    • Personal Mission Statement
    • Student’s name
    • Student’s contact email
    • Date submitted
  • Must address the topic of the mission statement with critical thought.
  • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
