My Career As A Career : A Career

I have accomplished lots of things in my lifetime. I have accomplished getting a job and getting my license to go to that job. I have accomplished working two jobs one is being a machinist and a referee.

I have come across many situation where I have had to compromise to resolve my issues. I am a cadet major in the United High School AFJROTC and was placed in a leadership position as the chief of staff. That means I help lead about 200 cadets toward common goal that is to teach them life skill that will produce better citizens. I work alongside the Group Commander and Deputy who also assist in running the corps. Our instructor often gives us many tasks to better our communication and leadership skills. Many of these tasks require us to work together as a team, but of course working together as a team doesn’t always come easy. One of the biggest challenges that I have come across so far was preparing for awards night. Awards night is a graduation for all the cadets where they receive ribbons to account for all their accomplishments

According to the 16 Personality test, my personality type is the defender. I possess the feeling trait and have excellent analytical skills. I have well-developed people skills and strong social relationships. Even though I’m the judging type, I am also receptive to change and new ideas. According to my Career Cruising results, I should become some type of counselor or therapist. Surprisingly, my suggested careers were pretty accurate to what I want to pursue. However, Career Cruising did not hint at any careers in criminal justice or forensic science as it has in previous years. For my Day-on-the-Job, I job shadowed Officer Brian Farlin and Detective Michael Neering to get a sense of working with crime since that has always interested me.

My entire life I have always worked my hardest to get to where I am today. As a child, I had the dream of being a nurse or a detective, and I as I started getting older I became aware that the two job areas are very different and competitive. I believe my determination has been a key quality that has let me enrich my education and move forward with the health and criminal justice fields. I have been able to succeed in classes, as well as my employment opportunities because when I set my mind to something, there is nothing stopping me, and I am 100% determined to finish. Being hard working has also been something I’ve done throughout my life, I was always been told that things don’t just happen and that I have to make things happen. The ability

Growing up, I was just like the average child, one week I would say I wanted to be a doctor and the next I would say I wanted to be lawyer and then two days later, I would say I wanted to be an astronaut. All of this changed when I was in the sixth grade. I watched the movie "Harriet The Spy" for the first time and I was so intrigued. I remember saying,"This girl is pretending and she looks like she's having so much fun." From then on, I wanted to be an actress, but I didn't tell anyone. I thought people would make fun of me or say I wasn't good enough. This was a constant trepidation, so when people asked me what I wanted to be when I "grow up", I would say,"I don't know", and quickly change the subject. This went on for years, I would lie and say I didn't know what I wanted to be, when that was the farthest from the truth. I knew I wanted to be an actress. I stopped watching tv for entertainment and started watching so I could observe the actors. I would watch their movements and facial expressions, and I would even write down what they were saying and redo the scene how I thought it should be done.

I began using computers when I attended South Puget Sounds Community College (SPCC) in 1980. I completed and passed Data Entry classes. Utilizing the skills I learned, I went to work for the State of Washington Labor and Industries and Department of Revenue as a Data Entry Operator, from 1981-1983.

Part #3 of the "How to freelance" series--there are so many avenues to freelance writing, but in my personal experience, finding a specific niche to get started in is a great place to start.

I am almost in high school, that means I will have to start looking at colleges and careers. Recently in Ms.Pennington’s ELA class I have been looking at possibilities for a career on cfnc.org. One of my goals for this paper is to find out what career fits me best by using cfnc. A second goal I would like to accomplish is to look at careers that match my personality. Finally my third goal is to look at colleges that fit my career I choose.

As a pre-teen I would wonder what type of career, I would have. When I was younger I, would always assume what I would want to be when I'm older. Some of my “dream goals” would include being a teacher, firefighter, social worker, and a mental therapist. As I was growing up I, wanted to have one specific goal, to be a banker. That goal drifted away after I decided that banking wasn’t something I wanted to do. Then over the summer of two-thousand fifteen I got an idea what I wanted to be. I finally told myself I could be successful in this specific thing.

For my career exploration, I would like to start on the Meyers-Briggs personality test I got the letters ISFP which is introvert, sensing, feeling, perceiving. For the Holland personality test, my top three is social, entrepreneurial, and conventional. The information I got from the Meyers-Brigg and Holland personality test can help me find to improve and what not to do and how I can become a better person in my job and my family.

As a person who considers themselves creative and fun, being an actor seems quite interesting. My job title would be actor/performer. Actors express various ideas and portray many characters from very different backgrounds, and they try to interpret the writer’s script in a way that entertains or informs the audience (“Summary”). I chose acting as my career because as a kid I always thought acting was interesting and enjoyable. I tend to be a very verbose person at times so it is the perfect career for me. It is important, however, to understand the education or training requirements, skills or talents needed, salary and benefits offered, and the duties for a particular career when making this decision.

The career I have chosen to research is journalism. I specifically chose this career because I love writing, designing, and reading the news and learning about the news of the day. I read a lot of news, review articles, my favorite, opinion articles, and the internet is my favorite resource. I enjoy writing well enough to do it for the rest of my life. The reason I want to have this career is that I am very excited about the idea of delivering news, and writing stories for people who want to be heard. I want to find the smaller social groups, and age groups and share a story about them. The minorities need to be heard, everyone needs to be heard. I want to be their ticket to getting out of a bad situation. I want to help them to tell their story and feel like they have hope that someone that cares for them and is willing to help. I think that is the main reason I want to be a journalist.

Going into my junior year of high school, the dream of me going to college was always a goal of mine that was quickly turning into a reality. I was gaining scholarship offers to play at select universities and colleges to play basketball but one big question stood in my mind “What do I want to have a career in for the rest of my life, am I good at anything besides sports?” Not knowing which way to turn for ideas I began conversing with teachers, coaches, family, and administrators about different fields and even took a career personality test. All in search of some direction for the next step in my life. Plenty of different ideas came about but none that I felt that I could really make a difference in and love to do.

Success, failures, experiences, trials, and tribulations usually shape up the life and career of a person. I am no exception to this idea. My experiences have taught me lessons. My mistakes have helped me to grow. My successes have humbled me. My fear of the unknown has helped me face life.
