I am forty four years old and I live in Marksville Louisiana. I graduated with a GED in 1983. I never put it in my mind at the age of eighteen to further my education, because I was already married and had a child. I had to go to work to help support my family. As I got older, I had a lot of regrets about not furthering my education. Now at the age of forty four, I look back on my life and wish I would have done things differently. I don’t regret my life an my family, I just regret that I didn’t do more with my life. I should have gone to school, studied hard and made something of myself. I could have a good job right now instead of having to work two jobs just to make ends meet. I didn’t see that at the time. I was too young and I thought I knew it all. Boy was I wrong!

I am currently employed as a school bus driver and I do some substitute teaching on the side. I do love my job but I feel like I need to do more in my life. I heard about medical transcription through a friend of mine who is currently employed and doing well at it. I was told you could find work at home medical transcription jobs and this has interested me a lot. I could still keep my current job, which doesn’t require much of my time, early morning an afternoon. During the day I could do medical transcription at home. I still have two children at home and this would be an excellent opportunity for me because I wouldn’t have to leave them to go out and work. Being a single mom, this would be a great way to earn extra income to make ends meet, especially in today’s economy. SN:0MA9N2ESY

Going back to school is what is really fascinating me. I would love to be studying again, taking tests, reading, which is one of my favorite pass times. I substitute teach at my daughter’s school and I have learned a lot over the years. I think this would be a breeze for me. Once I finish this course, my intentions are to find a job and hopefully to make enough money so that I can just have one job instead of two. I struggle everyday with working two jobs, coming home, taking care of the house and my family. Having one job would be great. Who knows, maybe in a few years from now I could be working for several clients and I could make lots of money. This is something that I am really going to put my full concentration into whether I get a scholarship or not. My goal is to go back to school, get my degree and hopefully find good employment with a reputable company. I have been researching the internet and finding out that becoming a medical transcriptionist has many great opportunities. The pay is great, it’s something that I can do from the comfort of my home and I also found out that in years to come job opportunities for this field will be greatly needed.

As long as I can remember even as a little child I have been very independent. In my youth years I had so many dreams and goals I wanted to accomplish before I became too old. Abused sexually as a little girl and keeping the information until the person died, and then sharing it with my mother in my adult life. As a child my hard-ship life left me so wounded, and struggling to survive. In all that I suffered as a little girl, I never lost sight of my dreams and goals that I wanted to reach in life. I’ve had so many obstacles thrown in my path to make me fail in life, by people who did not want me to succeed in anything that I applied my hands to. I struggled through my first marriage, 3- children and accomplishing one of the goals of my dreams, but my loving husband, turned out to be abusive physically. I have often heard people say the third time is a charm! Well I cannot agree whole hearted with that saying. I’ve had to leave 3-times empty handed, and start out on my own. In the course and span of those years I had to live on limited funds, but worked as hard as I could to survive. Not one of the spouses helped me after a resolved marriage, and this has caused me to be more determined than ever not to give up. Daily I drove 50-some miles a day one-way for 6-month to school, and I tried to work home typist jobs in my last marriage, but abuse mentally forced me out again, and caused another set-back in my life. I lost everything, no job, no home, my credit ruined. I have worked for 9-years at my present job. SN:0MA9N2ESY

Presently not married, my last goal is look for work at home medical transcription jobs and work independently. I am not giving up on my last goal. I have held on to my dream this long, and I plan to find a way to accomplish what I started and succeed in it. I would be a great advantage for me to refresh online to accomplish my last goal. I am now a grandmother of eight, yes, I am older now, but more determined than when I was a little girl. Commuting back and forth to work is not my cup of tea; I would really enjoy setting hours that work for me, flexibility, and most of all a major accomplishment in this stage of my life. I have had the opportunity of looking over the other schools, I felt compelled to inquire, I really feel good about the school, and also, I need help to accomplish my last goal. It would be the highlight of my dream to know that Future MT made it work for me, and I could share my success story to others. My goal right now is to find the school, and I feel that I have, so that I can refresh the course, finish and work for as long as I can. There may be others that I can help through my story who need a boost, encouragement. I may own my own transcription company at some point. There is no limit to setting goals and making them work. I may get pushed back for a minute, but I am a fighter, and not a quitter. My self-worth is very important to me, and I have to believe in myself even when others do not.

Everyone has a dream that they have always wished to pursue, and if they want it bad enough they will do anything it takes to reach it. There is no doubt in my mind that the medical field is for me. Ever since I can remember, all I ever imagined myself doing was working in the health field. I had dreams of becoming a nurse because changing lives and helping others makes me feel good. From allied health science classes, CPR and first aid courses, to an upcoming associates degree in histotechnology within the next year, I have decided that I want to pursue a career as a MT. I have put a lot of time into thinking of becoming a medical transcriptionist. I understand that it is not an easy job, and it not only requires a great deal of work and effort to put forth, but even more patience.

Needless to say, to sit in front of the computer for hours is not for everybody, but it is a great online typing job. I on the other hand, would be more than willing to have this type of career. I have always been good with computers, and my skills vary widely. With the economy being the way it is, not many can afford to spend exorbitant amounts of money for schooling. I am currently enrolled in college, majoring in Histotechnology. I want to keep my options open and expand my career horizons as well. I feel that I am indeed well qualified, and I fit the job description of an MT. My computer skills are proficient, and I have had experience with dictation previously. I used to work as a Physical Therapy Tech, and I was in charge of the dictations every day. I really enjoyed doing it, and it gave me the urge to further seek the possibility of pursuing a career in that area. Most of it came to me naturally, but it did help that I took a health science course in high school, in which included medical terminology.

Also, I am currently taking Medical terminology in college. I learn quickly, and work at a fast but steady pace. I am motivated, dedicated, a great listener, and I take my education seriously. I enjoy learning new things every day, and I know that I will learn a lot from this course. There are many advantages of working in the medical transcriptionist industry. Firstly, I like that I can take the course from online. The flexibility of hours and the fact that I can work from home at my own pace plays a big part too. My fiancé is currently serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, and I’m sure with him doing that it would definitely be a plus that I get to work from home. Another advantage is that I will be working on a computer, which is good for me because I have a great amount of competent skill and experience working with them. Several people told me that I would have been perfectly suited for a career in computer technology, but the medical field is where my heart is. However, it’s sort of like getting the best of both worlds because now I’d get to work with the two things I love most. I have also taken computer classes throughout high school as well. I love that I could work from home but still am able to get other tasks done. SN:0MA9N2ESY

Running a business may also be an option in the future once I gain more knowledge. In conclusion, I am extremely interested in training with future MT. Browsing through the internet, I found that they are the best choice that I have came across. Not many other programs have attracted my attention as this one has. I like that they offer a variety of student loans and payment plans, and that they give every person the opportunity to be eligible for scholarships. I like their professionalism, and the way they run their business. With that being said, I know that future MT will contribute to my career greatly. Reading the testimonials captivated me even more, and the FAQ’s section helped a lot. Their site provides every bit of information there is to know, and I honestly feel that I can benefit from taking this course. Medical transcription is something I have seen myself doing for quite some time now. In the next few years I hope to see myself achieve an education and career in this industry, with several work at home medical transcription jobs opening for me. I would love to have the opportunity to open an MT business, as well.

My life has been always relying on when that check will come in. Either the child support check that is most needed for living expenses or the governments check for survival. Never having enough to do what I have wished to do for my family. Many times I have contemplated what I can do to better myself. It has been since my wedding day this past July 25th 2009 that I have been racking my brains even more so. Finally, this evening after brainstorming I looked up in my google search “jobs typing work home” and I found several work at home medical transcription jobs. Since my being newly married of just sixteen days, my family has been in great financial distress. I have been receiving social security income for about eight years for my disability of both anxiety and depression. SN:0MA9N2ESY

My new husband receives unemployment and is having great difficulty finding work. After marrying, and because of my husband, Allen’s unearned income of $1299. a month I lost $604. of my $674. social security income. Now the New Hampshire medicaid program has decided to put me on a spend down. With a high deductible each month of $210. This has angered my husband so that he has contamplated leaving me so we can have the insurance we had before and so that my sociall security I am receiving will go back up. For me that is not an option. I wouldn’t be so sick to my stomach with worry if I didn’t have surgery coming up on September the eight of this year for removal of my cysts laden ovaries. This is all only the beginning of our struggles. Though we were struggling before our marriage. If Allen my husband, earns too much should he ever be fortunate enough to find work then my daughter with Down syndrome would lose her social security also. I cannot just sit idle I decided this very evening that there has to be something I can do. However, I have been out of work for more than eleven years. At this time in my life with no adequate job references combined with no adequate education and a bill from attending college in 1996-97 I am at a dead end. It seems to me that the best option would be for me to work at home making an income that I can earn from my own computer. I plan to learn what is needed in the medical field of transcription. I truly love the idea of becoming my own boss, setting my own hours and earning a living.
