Children are often asked what they want to be when they are older. Typical answers are doctor, lawyers, athlete, etc. Thinking back when given the opportunity to answer the question my answer was that I wanted to help people. As I progressed in aged that answer kept evloving, but the root was always the same. A career that made an impact on someone's life is what I was in search for.
Coming from a large family careers are often handed down to children. Brother teacher, grandmother teacher, sister-in-law teacher, grandfather veteran counselor, aunt teacher. From that list my career choice seems to be apparent education, but at a young age that answer was not apparent to me.
High school senior face a major life decision college vs. work force. Most do not realize the severity of this decision. When faced with that choice I decided to pursue college at Kent State University majoring in Paralegal Studies in 2009. When asked why paralegal my answer was simple and my younger self was smiling with pride. I wanted to help people. I had an ideal image that I was going to be my own version of Erin Brockovich. When given that opportunity, I realized that real life isn't like the motion pictures.

Since I started my high school journey, every year I have been asked countless time, what career would I like to pursue after high school. I knew from elementary school what I always wanted to do.

Growing up the main question a child is asked is, “What do you want to be when you grow up? “ , and most kids respond saying a doctor, lawyer, or a cop. In reality not everyone sticks to their first idea, and it’s slim that they actual start working in the chosen career. In my case, I have always wanted to work as a social worker or a therapist, but I realized it wasn’t in my budget. Therefore, I have decided; as well as, grew interest in being a dental assistant for a pediatric office.
Personally and professionally, I would like to have a career that is giving back and helping the community and where I can continue to learn and grow.
The career I have chosen to do is an occupational therapist. An occupational therapist does many different things. An occupational therapist helps many different people accomplish many different everyday life skills and tasks. For example they would help teach a stroke victim learn how to get dressed again. Also they would help kids who have autism learn everyday tasks, like tie your shoes, use a pencil, catch a ball, ETC. They also recommend special equipment to help the person preform these tasks easier. If someone has a chronical condition or arthritis an occupation therapists will also show them ways to exercise and relief any pain.
Everyone has an idea of what they would like to be when they grow up. Some say they would like to be a Doctor or a Nurse or a Mechanic, there are many types of careers anyone can choose from. I chose to pursue a Language Arts Middle School teaching career. Many people say that a teaching career does not make a lot of money, but money is not the main thing in choosing a career, picking what you like and being what you like is the main goal. I chose to be a teacher because when I was in Middle School I had a Language Arts teacher named Mr. Tomov, I never really liked him as a teacher due to the fact that he never made class interesting. The school year went along and one day he called me to the side and asked me what my purpose was. I asked him
The whole educational and career planning process has been quite the challenge. One factor that I was completely sure of though, was that I wanted to be doing something important. Something that I personally felt like I would be remembered while also giving back to the community in which I live. With that in mind however, it not only takes one’s talents that are depended on but the experience needed when selecting a career path. Out of the many careers that one can select, I had to pick an admirable career where I would not only make a decent living for myself and my children, but also undertaking something that I would enjoy doing.
When a teacher or a relative asks me what I want to do when I get older I never second guess myself on the answer. I always wanted to become a physical therapist. The most important part is to help others and by helping i know that i'm succeeding in my career. This career really draws my attention because a physical therapist are very helpful and determined on how the patient is handling different techniques.
When you hear of the word ‘’career’’ it makes you think of some of your long term goals in life. A career is a pursuit, occupation, profession you choose to take in life. My career of choice would be a profession that deals with being a caregiver, it doesn’t matter the age group.

I came to Aiken technical college to achieve one of my goals of getting a degree in nursing. Since I was a little girl I have always dreamt of being a doctor, so I knew by me taking up nursing I would get one foot in the door of following my dreams.
Like most children, I went through phases where I had dreams to become a vet, nurse and even the president, but when it came down to it, I always came to the conclusion that I wanted nothing more than to be just like Mommy and Daddy. My parents are both in the field of education, and between the two of them they have been either a teacher, counselor, coach,
For as long as I have though about a career I have always wanted to help people, more specifically children. As a young child I was diagnosed with dyslexia I know first hand what it is like to struggle to feel equal to ones peers. I have always been drawn toward helping children learn especially those who had difficulties in high school I would volunteer at our school daycare and would spend most on my time with children who were struggling with their ABC's or not getting along with the other student because of behavioral problems
As expected, I did not have a specific career goal as a child. Instead, my goal was to find a career that can assist me monetarily in rescuing my parents from financial turmoil. At the age of fifteen, I began working to ease the financial burden on my parents and ever since then, I struggled with the mental burden of providing my parents with a financially stable lifestyle. Consequently, ¬their struggles encouraged me throughout life because all of my goals were inspired by the idea of improving my parent’s financial
The start of this project began in early October, and for the most part it was a relatively simple course of action to be prepared, coordinated, and reported for the majority of the school year. Its themes and priorities were simple in theory, however—volunteer, research post-graduation opportunities and ideas, and for the most part settle with a plan on how to address adulthood and future prospective careers and education. My choices led me to volunteer for the necessary twenty hours and my own curiosity has allowed for me to navigate the internet and other sources for ideas on careers, education, and even the possible jobs that I could acquire when moving from Pennsylvania after my graduation. There were many things to learn, but many things
