<p>At the beginning of this session I engaged with our fellow student's by asking "How many here have prior work experience in the medical field?" Being that the class is extremely diverse, I was curious to know what drew them to Medical Assisting. Out of maybe a group of 30 only 1 student had previous medical training. It was brought to my attention that some were enrolled because they heard "the pay is good" and there were other's who felt really passionate about their journey to becoming a MA. There are some student's who I know will be shy to present feedback during the curriculum but with proper engagement I feel they'll become more eager than they've ever believed. I'll encourage all student's not to give up...defeat intimidations and strive for success no matter how complicated things may become.&#160;</p>
