I never saw myself as a teacher. My first degree was in Chemistry, and I always thought that I would be working in a lab or something along those lines. After graduating, I had the chance to work at the City of Red Deer wastewater treatment plant as a Lab Technician. While working this job, I found that being a lab tech was not something that I wanted to spend my life doing as it was kind of boring. The first month was exciting but as time went on and I found myself getting bored of doing the same test everyday day after day. I knew that this was not the job for me, so I went back to being a lifeguard/swim instructor, and had to think about what I wanted to do with my life.
When I was younger, my first job was as a babysitter for neighbors and family friends. I have always enjoyed working with children and babysitting was something I enjoyed as I was getting to spend time with children of all ages and taking care of them and playing games with them. After graduating high school, I got a job at a summer camp where I have attended since I was four as a camper and then as a SIT (staff in training). Working at camp, I was in the kitchen and a lifeguard. I enjoyed camp as I able to spend time running activities, eating meals, and participating in wide games with the kids. Then in university, I got a job working as a lifeguard where my job was to be pro-active and prevent accidents from happening.
After graduating and moving home, I got a job as a
I’ve always aspired to be a teacher. Growing up I wasn’t the smartest kid, and honestly my teachers weren’t very much help with that. Truly, as a struggling student I felt that when I had a bad teacher, there was no chance for me. So ever since I was young, I wanted to grow up to be that change, I didn’t want any struggling student to feel like I did.
Becoming a high school teacher had always been the goal. As a young child and growing up with a multitude of siblings, children were my life. The aspiration stemmed from a desire to teach the next generation, to be a leader for the mind and guide them onto the next phase of their lives. I saw my favorite teachers do it with the kind of patience and discipline that only a teacher could have and after job shadowing Scott Hatfield, the social studies and current events teacher at Summit Academy North Muddle School, I realized that I am not fit for that lifestyle like I thought.
My first job was working as a teacher’s aide in the young two’s room at a local daycare. I had many duties to uphold while working there. I had to change diapers, prepare meals, plan lessons, maintain state required hours, learn about state licensing, and most importantly love the little ones who were in my care.
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.
As soon as i could get a job i have had one. I worked at Chili's Bar and Grill since fall of 2013 all the way til summer 2014. During that summer i wanted to work at a waterpark, i thought that i should explore may types of jobs. When the summer was over i began working at Urban Air Trampoline Park in the fall. I have been working there for almost a full year now! I love working with kids and being in such a fun envirement. I also have a second job. I am a host at The Cheesecake Factory. As much as i love beig around kids i like to dress up and be around people my own age. Even though I have only worked at this restaurant for a short two months i really do ejoy it ad hope to stick around for a
In 2005 I decided to call it quits. I retired from the military to only find myself back in the same shop I was leading rebuilding TF39 engines as a contractor. I did this for two years until I decided to pick up the family and move to Oklahoma City to work on the B-1 F101-GE engine at Tinker AFB. Soon after, the contract died and I had to find a new job. I got picked up as a civil service employee in the same shop. I then got promoted into the F117 Heavy Maintenance Center rebuilding engines for the C17. This was a new workload and we had to set up the shop. I’m not kidding about this, we had to order, build the tooling and set up the lean cells before we even started production.
I began as a one-on-one tutor teaching reading, comprehension, and math to students of all ages. The work was rewarding, but teaching has never been my passion. Science is what I love. Throughout the time, I served as a trainer to new employees and took on more of a leadership role. I enjoyed helping shape the new employees to teach the students, and answering their questions to help them become great at their job. I liked knowing that if I did well at my job then they would do well in teaching the children. Eventually, I was promoted to office manager. This role took me out of the teaching side and more into the business side of the company. I realized that I would not be happy to continue to progress in that role, and went back to school to pursue my science
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
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.
In this research essay, I will be talking about the career that I would like to be in and what I need to do to get into that program: as well as talk about the university that I chose and explain why this would be the best decision to be in that field of research. The career that I chose and want to become is a zoologist and a wildlife biologist. The everyday work-life of a zoologist and a wildlife biologist mostly includes conducting studies, perform complex experiments, and going on trips to secluded areas such as rainforests, arctic tundras, deserts, and other places to collect data and research and make new theories and discoveries of animals. The education needed for this career is just to take a 4 year undergraduate program at a university,
While I was in college, I felt like working with children was something that I wanted to do. There are many different career paths one could take if they want to work with children. I love sports, so I decided that recreation would be a path that would allow me to work with children doing something that I love to do. For the past twelve years, I have had the opportunity to work with the residents of Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch. I work in the Youth Activities Department and my job is to provide sports programming for our pre-adolescent population. However, I am in more of an administrative role where I oversee the program the children participate in. The time I actually have working with them one-on-one or in small groups is limited. I have
Arkansas next has helped me develop a good four year plan that suits my needs in pursuit of my career and has helped me develop a general understanding of what college will be like and how much the level of education for my career will cost. It has also pushed me to explore different ways to receive financial aid and different scholarship opportunities. It has also influenced me to take the ACT early
Being a teacher wasn't the first thing on my career list. In fact, I wanted to be a lawyer throughout grade school and then into my freshman year of high school. Once I began my high school career, I began to realize that being a lawyer wasn't for me. I wanted to work directly with teenagers because I know how hard it is to grow up in this society. I started to investigate and considered being a teacher,
My career path was rerouted after the birth to my son. I was managing a 24-hour Alarm Monitoring Call Center with two years of college education in Psychology. Due to an inconsistent work schedule and difficulty locating Psychology courses that worked around my schedule, I decided to change my career path to Business Management, since I already had nearly 8 years experience in supervision and management. My mentor introduced me and made me familiar with the Dictionary of Occupational (DOT) following high school. The DOT is comprised of all occupations and job titles, salary ranges, responsibilities, and industries (Berry, 2003). As I prepared for my new journey, I evaluated my decision, researched, planned, applied for new occupations that interest me, and prepared for my new career in Management.
