Ideas always start from somewhere, and some of those ideas have come from interior designers! Creativity can come in all raw forms and be created by anyone with the right mindset. “Working in the interior design field can provide you with the opportunity to express yourself creatively on a regular basis.” (Bayt 1).

As we begin to grow up and come to the end of our high school career we must start to begin to start thinking about what type of career we want to be in. It is very important that a person picks the right type of career for them. Otherwise you will be unhappy with what you are doing and will not enjoy it at all.

Interior design and architecture are essential, and often overlooked, aspects of everyday life. In modern society people rely on function, durability, and visual appeal when selecting designs for their homes, businesses, and places of leisure. The way that a space is designed influences such things as mood, which, in the case of a business, can impact the productivity of employees and either draw or repel customers. In residential design, the design becomes very personal and, to be considered a successful design, must properly reflect the home owner while at the same time offering some practicality that makes the space livable. An effective design, for any space, must solve some problem, be it function, flexibility, or some other criteria. Simply solving a problem would not please the customer, however, unless it offered some visual appeal. Creating function with style is the real job of any interior designer, and is essential in a content society.

As a developing and growing student, I realize that I need a plan for success, even though that plan may change. At Indiana University Bloomington, I plan to study in the School of Art and Design in order to eventually become an interior designer. While I may change my career choice and area of study, my drive and dedication to achieve excellence will never waver. However, that does not mean that I will not face challenges along the way.
There are other options for people like skilled trades. According to the article, “Too many degrees are a waste of money. The return on higher education would be much better if college were cheaper” (Par 1). The cultural value is hard subjects pay off. In the article, it points out two different perspectives of degrees and; an engineering degree and an arts and humanities degree. Engineering is “Unsurprisingly, engineering is a good bet wherever you study it” (Par 6). While arts and humanities degrees “all doubtless nourish the soul, but not all fatten the wallet” (Par 7). The cultural norm is with a college degree makes a person successful. Which in, and the article says that “American schoolkids pondering whether to take on huge student loans are constantly told that college is the gateway to the middle class” (Par 3).

When I initially began High School I thought internally, this is it, this is the point at which my life changes, this is where school work gets harder, classes get harder, the sports become more advanced, and my evaluations in High School are going to reflect my employment, and universities later on, and everything in my life has finally become a hectic roller coaster. But I know that High School is like a stream because along the way you'll find some trash, go over some harsh spots, discover a whirlpool or two, stagnate for a bit, lastly get to the end of the adventure and acknowledge you have had an awesome ride. I know this without a doubt in light of the reality that back in middle school/ junior high I got awful grades I kept saying to myself every time, that I have to stay focused and get my grades up because my grades in my previous years would follow me through high school. In middle school it was hard for me to remain centered and complete my work, and get decent grades. I had to keep my mind like a sponge and absorb all the details I could in every class.

My studies at Kean University will have prepared me for anything difficult in my career. When I learned there was a student book club in my school, I joined my freshman year and within that one year, I was made President my sophomore year and as of today, I am still president. Being president of a club is a lot of behind the scenes work like staying up reading to make sure there are discussion questions or topics that will carry through an hour long meeting, baking treats for students and librarians to enjoy, and making sure everyone comes back for the next meeting. Leadership is one of the traits I can honestly say I have. I always welcome a challenge that makes my brain solve problems in unexpected ways. There are so many possibilities in design that I can hardly fathom all the directions my career could go. Overall, I am open to any kind of interior design employment that could result in creating spaces with greater
