My class has recently been introduced to a very useful and informative website called CFNC.org or College Foundation Of North Carolina. This website has helped us find out what careers are best suited for us in the future and what tasks and responsibilities those careers may include. One of the many goals I have for this paper is to find out whether the career I have chosen really fits me or not. Another goal I have for this paper, is to find out more about CFNC and how it can help me plan for the future and learn about all different types of careers. Above all, I really hope this paper will help me to answer the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. Survey Results On the website CFNC.org, my class was asked to …show more content…
You have to constantly be practicing and developing your voice to it’s full potential. Some of the tasks I will have to do includes self-promotion as well as self-employment until I sign with a label or am able to become well-known. I will have to sing live in front of large audiences on television, concerts, and at other musical performances. I will also have to study with many different vocal coaches and trainers in order to develop my vocal and performance skills to my maximum potential. As you can clearly see, the singing career requires a lot of hard work, but I truly believe that I am up to the …show more content…
I do have high hopes that I will get into Forsyth Early College, but I will not find out until May whether I am accepted or not. The classes I will have to take in high school to prepare for college include Honors English and Communications one. These two classes, along with many others, will help me prepare for my future career. As far as extracurricular activities, I plan to participate in as much theatre as possible. I also plan to continue taking voice and guitar lessons to help develop my vocal and musical skills to their full potential. I think I will definitely strive for vocal and academic scholarships. I also think that in high school I will get a part time job so I can start purchasing my own personal items. I think this will help me learn the importance of money and help me to be financially smart throughout life. I can’t wait to see what the next four years and high school will hold for
Ever since a young age I have known I enjoy being the center of attention. I aspire and chase after the satisfaction of performing perfect pieces of choreography. Whether that is hitting the right note in a song, or dancing my heart out on a stage. It makes me feel as though nothing is wrong and ignites endorphins in my brain. I'm in love with the feeling of my heart pacing fast, and then slowly easing into comfort the more time I spend on the stage.This love fuels the months of endless practice leading up. I was born with a voice and at 5 years old I was put in vocal lessons, at the local ABC Music. The first song I sang and played on the piano was "Part of Your World" from the little mermaid. I still hear the claps of the audience at my vocal instructors house. Singing is very meaningful to me, in fact I cannot stop myself, all my favorite songs just blurt out of my mouth. Music has the ability to evoke such deep emotions and beautiful voices aspire me to keep practicing.
All throughout school, students are ask what we want to be when we grow up. Many of us know or have a pretty good idea, but others have no clue what they want to pursue as a career in life, whether it be furthering their education at a university or attending a technical school. There are other students that plan to start work right out of high school. Either way we all have a plan, and the purpose of this paper is to inform you of mine. I personally struggle in making big decisions like deciding what to do with my life, but then I realized I have been asking myself the wrong questions. Instead of asking what I want to be when I grow up, I asked myself what do I want out of life? what are some of my goals that I wish to achieve? This led
The most important activity I have done in my high school career is chorus. During school hours, we spend time preparing for concerts, and outside of school we have rehearsals, performances, extracurricular choirs, and concert tours in which we devote much of our time.
While in high school I plan to maintain a 3.5 GPA or greater while staying involved and prospering in the sports and activities I practice. In the winter I plan to go to State in Knowledge bowl and go to State and possibly the National DECA tournament as well. The success in these activities will lead colleges and companies to be more attracted to me so I can later get jobs easier and get scholarships to reduce college debt later. While in high school I am also planning to establish a free speech organization to promote overall knowledge and understanding of others while
Good morning choir members, I pray all is well with each of you. As each of you know, Sister Kimberly Edwards decided it was best to step down as President of the Liberty Hill Choir. The church administrators set standards in which the next president must already achieve or have before he/she could become president of the choir. Some of those standards include:
I never sang too loud so if I messed up, no one would hear it .After every class I would go up to my Choir or band director with about five questions. But it simply was not enough. So my sophomore year I was given vocal lessons that taught me that I can match pitch consistently , and that my range was bigger than I ever thought it could be. I discovered a talent that I loved and I intended to perfect it .I performed in multiple cabarets and had the opportunity to sing with my choir at the Carnegie music hall. I was finally getting the swing of music; but that was not enough due to my obstinacy. I wanted to learn
Just what can you expect if you decide to have a career in music. There was a recent report by Berklee College of Music that said the average musician earns just over $55,000 per annum. But what kind of career are we talking about and what are some of the possible salaries, more info. Some of the careers that are possible you probably would never of thought of before now.
Originally I wanted to go into education for middle school or as a dance teacher/choreographer. However, I now want to pursue a career in either high school music education or vocal performance. My hope is to attend a college with outstanding music and education programs that is somewhere in the Midwest. Because music and interacting with adolescents are so important to what I want to do as a career, I am taking concert choir and child development 1 this year in school. Next year I hope to take child development 2 and concert choir or a higher-level choir.
There is a famous singer that resides across this street. His house is several stories tall, and there are a plethora of luxury cars parked in the driveway. The singer discussed his struggles in life, in albums; and besides that, if no one else mentions his past conflicts, people keep perceiving him as one of the most arrogant and self-centered performers. About him there are fans and paparazzi and you may see the occasional crazed,attached admirer, one of the few hounding persons. On the surface is a man fazed and persuaded by fortunes, on a journey from the slums to manor houses; and past and within the facade, conflict after conflict;and past and within those, the true disposition of the vocalist.
Nothing is more enjoyable than listening to your favorite song. All over the world, people listen to music on a daily basis. Music plays a major part in a tremendous number of people’s lives. While they are enjoying the music, they do not think about how the song came about. Music is not just the sound you hear or the voices in the background. People do not think about what is behind the scenes of where music comes from. Before the song is completed, someone has to make it happen. In music, there are different careers which are the song writer, the manager, the marketing executive, and the produced. Each of these careers play a huge role in how music is brought to the public.
Upon being asked about my future, I have always been met with anxiety and fear of such unknown. Growing up, as more and more of my peers developed their specific interests and even revealed desired career choices, I only felt lost in terms of what I wished to purse. I found that I was easily overwhelmed if I allowed myself to read too deeply into the dreaded “what am I going to do with my life” question. I have come to realize that it is much less anxiety provoking, however, if I view this matter on a smaller scale. After all, I do have aspirations and goals that I strive to achieve on a short-term basis.
My Career Plan The future is uncertain for me, but it is important to develop a career plan that will provide financial support and personal fulfillment over the course of my professional life. To make this transition from school to a professional career, I am going to plan a plan that will help me stay focused and motivated in meeting my goals and objectives. In the next paragraphs, I will explain my ten-year plan for my
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.
This lesson mainly addressed aspects related to career development. This lesson encourages students to discover their academic and personal strengths, their skillsets, and their interests. Students then take those concepts and apply them to career exploration. They are able to link their strengths, preferences, and abilities to potential future career paths. Some of the specific aspects of career development that I addressed include applying planning and career exploration in setting and obtaining lifelong career goals, applying necessary skills for career readiness and success, and teaching students where and how to obtain information about post-secondary options. In this lesson students are encouraged to apply decision making skills to place different careers into the appropriate career fields. In doing so, they are also encouraged to begin thinking about careers that are of interest to them and what career goals they have for themselves. They will be given resources in order to continue career exploration outside of the classroom. While I do not expect sixth graders to fully decide their career path, it is my firm belief that it is never too early to get students thinking about careers and having them set goals in order to obtain the career and future that they desire. I also believe that this unit touches on social and emotional development as well as academic development. This lesson allows the student to collaborate with one another and work in groups as well as in pairs. This promotes relationship building and teamwork. It also allows students to take an inventory of their personal strengths and skillsets. This could boost self-esteem and promotes a sense of self-awareness. Lastly, this unit also encompasses academic development. Students will understand that good grades and academic success are key elements to obtaining the career that they wish to have. By being academically successful, this will allow them greater options and opportunity post high school graduation.
Finding a specific career path can not only be difficult, but it can also induce bouts of anxiety, anger, and sadness over a crucial part of an individual’s life. Settling on a career can be unnerving when thinking about the fact that this is the career that you spend thousands of dollars on in college, that this is the career you will work in until you retire. With this course, I’ve found that it has been easier to narrow down a goal towards finding a career. Through career assessments, different assignments and discussions, I have realized what my barriers and strengths are. Overcoming these and improving these skills or applying them to an actual career assisted me in narrowing my goal as well. I am now able to clearly see the advantages and disadvantages of my career goal and to think clearer about the next steps that I will take after this course.
