Diagnostic Medical Sonography Is A Fancy Word for "Ultrasound"

Now that I am in college with a specifically chosen major, it is starting to hit me that in a few short years I will be out in the 'real world' searching for a job. My first goal for myself is to finish out my four years at Regis College where I am currently taking courses which will ultimately give me a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography, which is also known as an ultrasound technician. Once I graduate with my degree, I hope to find a job so I can begin my dream job as an ultrasound technician. This degree which I am working hard for will have many great opportunities which I can take advantage of.

Straight out of college I hope to find a job as a traveling ultrasound technician. This would be an excellent opportunity because it would give me a chance to travel while doing the job I love. I would be sent to different places around the country or even the world for periods of time whenever I am needed. A benefit of this is that I would have the ability to choose where I live and work based off of where there are shortages of technicians. I enjoy traveling so this would be a bonus because I would be able to travel and explore new places while doing my job. A travel technician makes a competitive wage and often does not have to pay for living or travel expenses because it is included in the job. This would be a good way to begin paying off student loans because I would not be paying a monthly rent on top of student loans.

I also hope to be employed at one of the big Boston hospitals at some point in my life. The hospitals in Boston are some of the greatest in both the country and the world so it would be amazing to be employed for one of them. I hope to make a difference in people's lives when I am older which is why I am pursuing a career in the medical field. Whether it is performing an ultrasound on a patient, words of comfort if they are nervous, or assisting a co-worker; I believe I can make a difference in people's lives no matter how small the act. Each day is owned by you, which is why I hope to use this career in a productive way of helping others.

For now as I am about to begin my second semester as a freshman, I hope to achieve good grades and enjoy the next three and a half years at Regis. Hard work, effort, and dedication are three key components in my future of being a successful ultrasound technician. Working hard now in school will pay off once I graduate.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
