Reflection
Looking back, my most meaningful experience regarding Knights in the World would be having a full-time job working around 30 hours per week. As a chiropractic assistant, I assist patients with physical therapy and play an essential role to the doctors prescribing their care. On top of this, I assist with exams as well as any clerical work that may need to be completed. I work this job in conjunction with going to school during the week.
​
Some skills that I gained from having a full-time job include acknowledging responsibility, assessing readiness for promotion, adhering to company policy, prioritizing tasks, coping with setbacks, preparing for career transitions, making ethical decisions, and modeling integrity.
​
One example where I learned these skills at my job is when I was faced with an ethical dilemma. A patient’s mother was asking if her daughter was coming in to treat for a car accident and if we could share the results of the daughter’s pregnancy test, if so. While I can understand the mother’s concern, I told her that it would be a violation of HIPAA to discuss anything of that matter with her unless there were specific signed documents stating we could share medical records and history.
​
I was able to adapt these skills in a different context by volunteering with my church’s Girl’s Ministry program. Here, I would give weekly lessons on different topics to girls ranging in age from 9 to 13. I would lead lectures and teach them many principles and stories that pertained to the bible. While I was not getting paid, I still developed the same sense of work ethic by adopting a multidimensional approach towards a common goal. Modeling integrity and prioritizing weekly tasks were the main skills that I developed throughout my time volunteering at the church.
​
In the future, I plan to apply these skills in a new context by eventually opening my own clinic. Working from a young age and currently, has set me on the path to success of creating that solidified sense of pride in the work that I produce. Knowing that I can continuously make improvements to my work ethic constantly pushes me to be better than I was the day before.
​
These learned skills tie back into my plans of running a women’s shelter. On top of wanting to be an OBGYN, I would like to utilize my spare time by running a shelter for women in need of resources, whether that be reproductive, psychological, emotional, or physical. In order to run a shelter, I need to have a strong-willed mindset and productive work ethic.
