My passion runs deep for education. Currently as a principal, creating a culture of career and college ready students is a necessity for me. Preparing our youth to be studious, independent critical thinkers and resilient is a big task.

In the Higher Education Case Study Document two, Prepare the American Workforce to Compete in the Global Economy, the challenge is American education is not producing qualified applicants for professional training. “There are 3.3 million job openings in the U.S., many going unfilled for months on end. The gap between employer needs and workforce skill is starkest in the critical areas of STEM education” (Walden, 2015). With this crisis in American education, there has to be a resolution and then a solution to thoroughly prepare our students to become career and college
The career I chose to undertake as my profession is that of a mechanical engineer. Why do I want to become a mechanical engineer? Well, for starters, I would be able to design, build and possibly repair many various machines and other technologies that are complex. These technologies can range from being already in use on a global scale to new, futuristic designs that are highly technical. Also, this career includes being a sort of jack-of-all-trades, where I would possess knowledge in mathematics, physics, etc. Finally, this career offers me the chance to expand outside my immediate area since mechanical engineers are well desired around the globe as well.
While going through the process of the P.A.C.E. brainstorm I have learned more about what my strong suits are as well as what I need to work more on. The brainstorm process did not really guide me to any specific field because I already had a pretty good clue about what I wanted to do, but it did help confirm that I would fit in the field I want to go into. The field that I am interested in is engineering because I am a good problem solver and I enjoy finding out how things work. My ideal career goal is to become a mechanical engineer but if I end up switching to a different kind of engineering I would not be too surprised. Mechanical engineering interests me because I am good with numbers, good at solving problems, and enjoy learning how things work. One experience that I have had that has had a major influence on my career choice is a summer camp that I went to two summers ago where I went to KU for an engineering camp and I chose mechanical engineering to learn about. That experience has impacted me in a huge way and is
With such a large number of choices, the decision of a career major can appear overwhelming. Do you follow example of your parents? Do you take after the way your friends are taking? When you have a career major decision narrowed down, what do you think about that profession? Do you know what a designer, medical attendant, broker, welder, or agriculturist truly does? What salary will you be paid in this profession? The best approach to discover these responses is by asking individuals who know. Here are approaches to look into and increase encounter in diverse career fields.
Within society, there are many occupations to explore and chose. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) results showed that my personal career strengths fall under the area of teaching and counseling. Currently, as a school counselor for a high school in Duncanville, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, I find the results of the assessment to be very accurate. Making the decision to become a counselor is a rewarding and exciting career choice. In the world of counsling, there are many individuals who place emphasis on not just basic implications, but also on theoretical studies that usually are a part of
As a leader I envision my school as one where students and teachers come to a place they enjoy entering each day. All share the focus of the school, the belief that all students can become high achievers. Staff is centered on student achievement; no matter what academic level that all students face coming into the classroom. All staff will understand that all children are teachable, even those with learning issues.

In my career research report, I am going to be trying to accomplish some of my goals. I feel like it’s time to start planning for my future and what I want to do with it, so a main goal is to find a suitable career for me. I have already seen some amazing career opportunities for me to think about. Though I really hope I can get at least an A on my research paper and make sure I enjoy the whole process of doing this project.
The professional long-term goal is to become a Director for student retention and academic success at a university which will allow me to accomplish and bring together all of my three goals in one position. Personally, obtaining a master’s will allow me to
I will start my career expedition by finishing grade school and entering high school. In high school I will try my hardest to get the best grades I can get. If I have a high GPA in highschool I will be able to have more opportunities with collage. Most colleges judge applicants by their GPA average and have a baseline of 2.0 GPA or all Cs or better. With that in mind, if you're trying to get into a private or more advances school, such as me, they commonly judge you on a GPA baseline of 3.75 or higher and also look at if you graduated at a higher percent of your school for that year. These are all of the most important things big collages that have a very low acceptance rate, look at when accepting new students.
I have been working on my academic career for many years now. I am currently in my third year of community college, and have come across multiple teachers who have helped and inspired me in many ways. A teacher not only teaches the content of their course, but life skills as well. They are kind, caring, considerate, and understanding of their students. A teacher who goes above and beyond for their students is one that will make a difference. One teacher who I believe has made all the difference to me, was my accounting professor.
Introduction- For my research paper I hope to see some amazing opportunities for me that way I can start looking at the perfect college for me to go to and maybe start saving up for it. I hope to accomplish these goals in life so that way I could be successful in life and hopefully be a big influence on some people.
At age five I didn’t really have any job or wasn’t force to do anything around the house, but I do remember that I always wanted to help and wanted to be in everything. I also remember that when my sisters were lazy they would bribe me for a dollar to take them water, give them a massage, or even pick up after them. Then, at around six or seven my sisters and brother started bribing me with two dollars because I did not want a dollar anymore. After I got a bit older my sisters would start sending me to go buy them junk or nail things, at the ninety-nine cent store at the end of my block in that time. My brother would pay me to pick up his room because he was going to have friends over. In that time two dollars was a lot
What is the importance of goals? Do goals help you plan out your future? Or possibly give you something to work for? To me goals provide a map of what I want to do, how I’m going to do it, and why I want to do it. Goals also provide a sense of accomplishment when you finally get to finish whatever you’ve been working towards. The need for goals in life is clear, because without goals, we wouldn’t get much done. Simply because of the fact that there wouldn’t be anything to work towards, and no structure to our future. One of my most important goals is to graduate college, to get a career in psychology. This goal is extremely important to me because of the fact that not many people in my family have even finished high school.
I believe that the more educated you become then the better you will feel about yourself and who you have become. Education is needed for survival in this world. This world is not always the happy place that we want it to be. The more educated you are then the better the chance of you making it through everyday life. Education is needed to help us communicate to each other. It makes me feel great when someone is discussing a certain topic that I just learned. If I had missed that day or not paid attention then I wouldn’t have any idea what they were talking about. Education is why mankind has become so successful.
I want my school to be a place where everyone feels confident and safe when they enter the building. I have high expectations for all students, and I encourage my staff to challenge students academically. We need to prepare students with 21st- century skills and utilize the different tools in technology. We are a team, and family at
