I Ll Sit Still Poem

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.

Choosing the right career in life can open a life of happiness and joy. In life, “if you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll be lost when you get there.” A good college career can make the difference between living to work and going to work for a living (Binder). In order to obtain the tools needed to work at your dream job, someone must teach them at a higher educational level. Education emphasizes freedom and experimentation as tools for students to develop meaningful ways of working after graduation (Roth). It is only through an education that you can find the tools to express and master the craft of your career and

In life we are asked the same question over and over again until we can decide. In elementary school we are asked what we want to be when we grow up and most of us answered things like princess, astronaut, artist, rock star, and actor. Then when we got into middle school we started actually thinking and most of us wanted to be doctors, veterinarians, or something along those lines, but we realized that that takes a lot of work. Once high school came along things were real, life was becoming something that we had to do and it wasn’t just an option. Many people decided what they wanted to be early on in their high school career, they didn’t have any idea whatsoever, or they were like me and had many different options just floating around up

There is joy in this poem it shows when they have a dream where they are finally free from their black coffins and are able to call one man father who is God. There is also joy when they are finally able to become clean again wiping all that black icky coal yuck from their skins and become the color they once were before they started cleaning chimneys. The joy and happiness that they all have in this dream proves that life after this gets 10 times better than what it is now and show that they will once again know what happiness is if they have ever had any before or be able to experience it first hand. They each all awaken the next dark morning with smiles on their faces knowing that after this horrible chimney cleaning job they will become free and clean and be able to enjoy a life in the after

I was raised with the idea that anyone can have a job, but not everyone can have a career or permanent profession. I have even passed this belief to my own children as they grow into adulthood and further their education. As a young adult, I have worked as an optician and waited on tables. While I was grateful to always have steady work, I still knew that I was capable of more. I was convinced I could have a career and not just a job. Although working as an optician and waiting tables share similarities, they are remarkably different in terms of educational requirements, salary, and work-life balance.

So, you're not cut out to be a doctor, dentist or professional athlete. You're one of the regular people in the world working 9 to 5 and trying to make ends meet while dreaming of another life. You've heard people talk about seeking happiness at work instead of working endless hours at a job you don't like just to pay the bills, but your particular skill set doesn't really lend itself to many career choices.

As a child, whenever someone asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, I would always give a different answer. One week I wanted to travel the world and excavate the tombs of Egypt, the next I wanted to become the next New York Times bestseller. Whenever I imagined my ideal future, it was a vague concept, one I thought I had plenty of time to explore in later years. However, an epiphany at a friend’s birthday party forever changed who I wanted to become.

Many people found out that their dream careers turned out not so fitting for them. For example students who never like to read books, try to become researchers is taking large part of the problem. Functioning as a part of the community isn’t just as simple as doing things alone; people have to be able to fulfill their part of the job. In fact, this is where people figure out the difference between their dreams and realities. Many high school students think that their dream can be easily archieve through any kind of higher education, they are dooming themselves. According to Brad Plumer, there are only twenty-seven percent of college grads have jobs related to their majors. Therefore, it shows that many students pursue their careers without having a firm ability to work in the fields. Because four years is not a short period of time, people will be wasting not only their money but their time; a miss is as good as a mile.

There are a handful of meanings or interpretations of the poem. The first and most likely the most noticeable meaning of the poem is that people may seem happy and have everything that they need, but they are depressed on the inside and are struggling to find a reason to keep living. A simple interpretation could be simply to not judge a book by its cover. What I mean by this is that what you see may not

Starting at a young age around the world children are asked what they want to be when they grow. For young children it should not even be a thought, you can barely express your emotions to others. We put such pressure on kids at a young age to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives and to pick the right profession. The typical five year old will tell you they want to be the common doctor, cop, or actor. I was one of those children that gave a generic answer.

Growing up, kids are always searching something to be a good at; to have success and to ultimately be remembered. Those thoughts always ran through my head and continue to do so. There are those kids who excel in sports, or academics - I am not one of them. People try to fit into a mold of perfection in high school, but in reality everyone has something unique that they excel at. Through high school, I learned something to keep in mind: if you're not passionate about doing something, then don’t do it. Simple as it sounds, it’s quite difficult for most kids to name something they can imagine doing for the rest of their lives. Even at 18, the thought of having to choose something to do the rest of your life is frightening. At the same time, the possibility of doing something that you love while having it as a career is mesmerizing.

Our society makes it difficult to see beyond the workplace to find success and fulfillment in life. The truth is, it really isn't the job you do or the career you have that makes you who you are. It's the inward drive that drew you toward a particular career in the first place.

Throughout my entire life, any adult I have ever talked to has always said to me, “Savannah, as long as you follow your dreams and have your heart invested into whatever you do, you can do anything.” For many years as a child and a pre-teen, I have pondered the meaning of this piece of advice. As I sit in my backyard writing my last essay of my senior year, I finally know what it means.

Though this poem is seem more descriptive telling a person what the painting is a about like in the quote, “Summer ! the painting is organized about a young reaper enjoying his noonday rest completely relaxed from his morning labors sprawled in fact sleeping unbuttoned on his back.” The paint is just like that there is a white that looks like they have been working on it all morning and now it is time to sit down relaxed a little, eat, and drink some food knowing that they’re going to have to get back to work when they are done but enjoying every moment of the time off. Just comparable the ending of the poem, “A spot of wine they gather gossiping under a tree whose shade carelessly he does not share the resting center of their workaday world.” This quote goes Beyond the moment capture in the painting saying the live a simple life of hard labor by saying just the last to word, workaday world, and that the little time they do have not working they take advantage of that time living it to the fullest.

Growing up as a child and through school years, kids are asked what do they want to be when they grow up. When so young, children never really know what they want in life. Consequently, their response would be something referring to everyday life, or something or someone they admire the most. For instance, a superhero whose known to save the world, or a police officer whose known to help and protect you, your typical neighborhood heroes. I on the other hand always knew that being a young business owner, being in the medical field, and being a real estate agent were careers that I dreamed of.
