Let Me Teach You About My Career Essay

The career I chose is a secondary education teacher. More commonly referred to as a highschool teacher. A highschool teacher teaches grades 9th-12th and generally focuses in one subject area. High school teachers help prepare students for life after graduation. They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market (“U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics”). I chose this career because I want to be able to make a difference in young people’s lives and help shape them into good people. “I know that I have a huge impact on my students not just now, but for the rest of their lives,” says Linda Shelly, a high school math teacher in Glendale, arizona. “Seeing them rise to the challenge gives me great pride.” (“Teaching For a Living: Career Outlook”).

My career path to education is one that has evolved over the years. Growing up I always know I wanted to work with children. Within my undergrad experience become a teacher seem to feel like it was where I belong. Being in the position of starting my path as a special education teacher for mild to moderate, I can see how my role as an educator can have an impact on students’ lives.

Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.

One of the best ways someone can determine if they really would like to go into a certain field is by simply observing and talking to does already in that career. This is fairly important for a future teacher because even if you don 't realize it as a student, teaching is one of the most difficult jobs that requires a lot of patience and determination in oneself. While observing big diverse classrooms of students who have various levels of knowledge on the subjects and having the teachers trying to reflect the learning styles of all the students through the curriculum I noticed one thing they try their hardest to help every single one of those students. I have learned so much so far on many different aspects of teaching while observing these summer teachers at school Plummer Middle School.

I have not fully decided on a career choice, but if you ask me I would pick nursing. I would choose nursing because of the many self rewarding tasks you can achieve while being a nurse. For example helping and tending to an elderly who has no strength to complete tasks anymore because of old age. Nursing is such a great career choice, I can see myself doing well within the career and also being financially stable because of good pay. Also another detail I noticed in being a nurse is how flexible your schedule can be. I believe that this career, nursing, would be something I would enjoy and be comfortable with. I can also see it bringing me happiness in ways that I can help families who have a loved one or friends who are need of urgent care. Without nurses there would not be that certain individual to help another human being out at their toughest times.

I always thought of myself as beautiful, talented, outgoing, intelligent, etc. mainly because my mother told me so. She always complimented how I looked good in everything, and confessed she was jealous. I always felt that I was perfect in every way, especially intelligence because of the GAT (gifted and talented) program I was in, my 4.0 GPA, my straight A’s, and that every teacher I have ever had, liked me. I always knew I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. I always left things to the last minute and still got them done on time, and I still do. On every project I have ever done, I have ended up doing all of the work, not being able to count on the group members the teacher had assigned. I had sometimes been called too controlling

After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Criminal Justice, the type of career I want to pursue is law enforcement or something that revolves around the field. For now, the two departments I wish to join are either: Orange County Sheriff’s Office or the Orlando Police Department, but as of now, I am leaning more towards Orange County. One reason being a law enforcement officer seems so pleasing is due to the fact that every day is completely different from the last since the situations are constantly changing on a daily basis. Also, it would be a joy to help the community whether that be through community policing or enforcing the laws in order to keep the community safe.

When I graduate from college, I aspire to instruct elementary school where I would have the ability to mold young students to have strength, intelligence, and optimism similar to mine and embrace the world as it is yet also embrace the “formidable” transitions as well instead of fearing both. I would evoke tenacious character traits out of each and every student to encourage him or her to succeed and progress far in life with elevated standards for him or herself. While this career lends itself to a more valuable experience, it does not entail the same value monetarily. Teaching would allow me to be rich in the heart not in the pocket, but I am not pursuing this career for that particular reason. I pursue it for the reasons listed above. I aspire to impact the world and believe the greatest impact begins from the roots of a community which reside in the elementary schools nurtured by their teachers.

    My love for teaching began in 4th grade when my teachers first noticed that recess was not my favorite thing. Instead of making me go outside on cold days they allowed me to stay inside and grade papers. Those days were my favorite because eating lunch and grading with my teachers made me feel responsible, but it wasn’t until many years later when I realize it did make me responsible.

My career aspirations are to become a tax attorney or tax lawyer. I have wanted to be a lawyer ever since second grade when we did a mock trial in the classroom. It was only recently that I narrowed down my concentration to a specialized field in taxation. As a tax attorney, my job will include handling “a variety of tax-related issues for individuals and corporations” (Lawyers: Occupational Outlook Handbook 2015). My job will also include “[helping] clients navigate complex tax regulations, so that they pay the appropriate tax on items such as income, profits, or property” (Lawyers: Occupational Outlook Handbook 2015). An example for what I may do for a corporation is advise them “on how much tax” they need “to pay from profits made in different states to comply with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules,” and also comply with state and local rules (Lawyers: Occupational Outlook Handbook 2015).

Starting at a young age I always had an interest in helping people in some shape or form. A true interest in the social service field did not come along, though, until middle of my college career with the help of my current profession in foster care. Connecting with people of different education levels throughout school to either help them understand the lecture material or to work with them to problem solve the lecture material together always came easy to me. It was then I knew I have an apt for connecting to people on different levels. My interests changed throughout my college career. Once enrolled in college, I believed I had an interest in Pre-Med with a specialization in Pediatrics. With my love for Math, Science, and children, I had assumed that becoming a Pediatrician would be the right field for me. After taking more classes and discussing future career goals with my peers and counselors, I knew it was not for me. Once I enrolled at Northern Illinois University, I declared my major as Psychology. Up until then, I had only take two or three classes in the field and did have an interest for it. When searching for degrees to major in, I felt that Psychology interested me more than the other degrees. I knew I wanted to be in the social service field.

The question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” meant so many things throughout middle childhood, adolescence, and was even relevant in adulthood. My interests varied from law, to education, and even construction for a period. It took most of my lifetime and lived experiences, up until very recently, to actually figure out, make a decision, and follow through, with my true occupational goals. This paper will examine my current career path and goals. It will investigate the results of the O*Net Interest Profiler in which I participated, and how they compare to my current occupational goals. Finally, it will discuss gained insights and further resources for future career exploration.

As young children, we are asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Our answers typically change as we get older and by the time we graduate high school we often times have no clue! There are so many career choices for one to choose from, it makes it a little hard to narrow down. What is the right career for me? What kind of impact do I want to make? As I ponder over these questions and think about where my life has taken me, one career stands out. I want to become an elementary school teacher. Elementary school teachers help teach children the fundamental skills to brave the world and make an impact of their own. They are nurturing while still pushing children to reach their goals, and have an enormous amount of planning to do. This career requires a lot of schooling and testing, while also obtaining a teaching certificate. The advantages of becoming an elementary school teacher and the happiness it gives you to know you are shaping the lives of our future make the saying, “We don’t do it for the money,” a lot clearer.

I have chosen a career as a paralegal. This is a field that I expect will be both challenging as well as professionally rewarding. As a paralegal, I will assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services (National Association of Legal Assistants, 2008). A career in paralegal studies is a prestigious, professional adventure and offers a wonderful opportunity while enhancing ones knowledge of the law and provides for challenges, growth and advancement.
