The Importance Of A Career In My Life

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

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

In life, you encounter many situations and people that aid in molding you into the person you are meant to be. When these instances in time occur, we may not realize it, but looking back they made a huge impact on our lives. For the past four years, I have been a member of the Navarro Runnin’ Lady Panthers Basketball Team, and while the sport itself taught me many lessons and skills I can use to be successful, there was one coach that managed to do the same.

Throughout my life, I’ve wanted to be many things. An astronaut, a princess, a doctor, a lawyer, and at one point in my life the president. Now that I am older and much more mature. I still haven’t decided what I wanted to be. When I first started my high school career, I was terrified. I didn’t know what I wanted to be. So I decided to try new things. I’ve been with choir ever since I was in the sixth grade, so I thought I would give it shot, and try something new. I started to take drama and art. I soon found out, that I wasn’t great at either of those things. I had stage fright and I sucked at drawing. But, I didn’t give up. I stayed with choir, drama, art, and basketball. Now that I am a senior and ready to graduate, I have found out I

When I was 5 to 13, I would say I want to be a Formula one racer, a professional soccer or basketball player. Nonetheless, because of all kind of the factors, I did not continue the path of becoming a professional athlete. For a while, I was looking for some works that might suit me in the future. In order to find an answer, I have been participated in three different summer college programs during high school vacation. However, I still could not decide after that. Until my parents suggested me to do something which relates to my interest, I finally determined the area I wanted.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to score the winning touchdown, the walkoff home run, the game winning goal, or even the basket that won you the game? I haven’t done all of these, but I have had the privilege to do a couple of them. The things that have helped me with my athletic ability has been the teammates and coaches, the work ethic that I have and my family. Having the athletic ability that I have today, is shaping who I will be in the future.

My first choice as a freshman in high school was to be a manager for an NBA team. However, I was discouraged to take that type of job, so I began my search again. Eventually, I decided to major in Kinesiology and was informed by athletes and professors alike that it would be too difficult of a major to do while playing sports in college. Yet again, I began my search and finally found the perfect career for me, Athletic Training.

For a while I struggled with knowing what career field I should enter. Coming into my junior year I started seriously considering my strengths and weaknesses and how they would tailor to a specific career field. At the time I was apart of a group called Faith Expressions. Faith Expressions is a dance and sign-language group created by my mother and another lady who leads the same group at another church. Originally my mother choreographed the dances we would learn and preform, but being significantly older than all the other girls participating I decided to ask for a leadership position in the group as a dance choreographer. Over the course of 6 months I taught and choreographed a dance to 7 girls ranging in age from 5-9. During my time mentoring them I realized not only my passion for teaching but my passion for teaching

In the third grade, I already had my life planned out; I just knew that I was going to be a movie star when I grew up. By the time I entered high school, this fantasy had long since been forgotten and reality stood in its’ place. I was clueless. I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up, much less when I graduated from high school. So I did what every recent grad is expected to do, I enrolled in college. My college career began the fall semester immediately following graduation at Trident Technical College in North Charleston, SC; major

The specific career field that I was thinking about going into recently and spending the rest of my life dedicating time to is an OBGYN (obstetrics and gynecology). OBGYNs help out women during their pregnancies and also help treat several disorders that they might have occur with their reproductive system and such.

I am pursuing a career the Network System Administration field. I believe my life somehow guided me to this career because I always had a winning hand when it came to computers, I never attended a school to pursue my dream of being a computer technician while in Cuba because it takes a lot of money just to study the career is not guaranteed that upon graduation you u will find a decent job doing what you studied so that you can provide for a family.

Looking back on my sophomore and junior years of high school, I had a very difference idea of how my life was going to turn out. I worked three days a week on my school’s radio station, WBMT, and played guitar during my free time. I was going to major in business and minor in communications and hopefully pursue some career in music production and management. From middle school until late high school, that was the way I was going to affect people, through music. While I had worked as a camp counselor, and had experience working with children, it just wasn’t a path that I thought I could turn into a career. As I grew up and had new experiences, I began to reevaluate my plans for myself.

As I re-evaluated my intended major, I began to think of other careers that would pay more and that I would be proud of when friends and relatives asked what I am studying for at college. I thought that because my family thinks highly of jobs in the medical field I should consider becoming a nurse. Remembering my love for animals, I thought of studying to become a veterinarian. Then I reminded myself that I am not good at science. Therefore, I begin to think of other careers that would pay well or that I would enjoy. Perhaps I should take business classes to become an accountant or secretary since I am good at math and took business classes in high school. Maybe I should consider architecture since I enjoy building and designing things. Then I begin to search of the different career areas where I could possibly open my own business someday. I'd think of pet shops, flower shops, and candy shops, or even offering services such as day care or landscaping.

To begin with, a career is an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress. People want to pursue a passion, but they forget the fundamentals and spend most of their life figuring it out with no guidance. A career is important to choose because it helps you develop a sense of priority and help you attain knowledge towards your desired passion. Unbelievably, with experience people end up changing their minds and start to pursue something else that might interest them and that is totally fine. The whole point of a career is to help you determine what you like as a future profession and attain knowledge about it, so you can make a clear-cut decision.

"The judge has made his decision, the accused has been found guilty." These are the words that one day I will finally hear. My future goal is to be a lawyer. A lawyer is a professional person authorized to practice law. They defend or prosecute people for the crimes they have committed. (dictionary.com) I am very out spoken and believe in fighting for what I want or think is right.
