What Makes A Car Driver Or A Driver?

Even at a young age, people begin to ask you what you want to be when you grow up. Children’s answers will range anywhere from ballerina, to firefighter, to President of the United States. However, as you get older, the question becomes more serious. As a high schooler, you feel as if you need to know exactly where you will end up thirty years into the future. Since senior year began, I have tried my best to understand my strengths and goals in life so that I can prepare for my future.

When I was in middle high school, I wasn’t like any other kids my age I knew. It seemed like all the kids new what they wanted to do in life. Most of my classmates had a mindset that they were going to college, but I was focused more on graduating middle school so that I can make it to high school. By the time I made it to high school, there was more pressure on me to think about going to college. My parents wanted me to further my education. My mother asked me if I was thinking about college yet. At that point, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was confused so I

When I was five and my parents asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say things like, “I want to be a princess!” When I was 10 and asked the same question, I would respond with, “I’m going to be an astronaut!” When I was 15, my teachers started telling me it was important to start thinking about my future, and I would always tell them that I was going to become a lawyer. But when my senior year rolled around, I had to decide what to do with the rest of my life. I went over all my options and just could not figure out what I wanted to do. How does a 17-year-old decide on a career choice that they will be stuck with for the rest of their life? Choosing a career path and college was one of the most stressful moments of my life. Being a first-year college student has created many challenges, like financing my education, stress and anxiety, homesickness, but I have also learned how to manage my time and make my own decisions.

Being a student is not always an easy task. From having extremely high expectations to constantly being asked by adults what we plan to do after high school, the standards that most students try to stand up to can be quite challenging. Being a teenager and still growing and developing, how are we supposed to know exactly what we want to do in life? There are so many different jobs and degrees that it is basically impossible to know what we plan to do for sure. Many students go into college with an undecided major and may even go for a few years before figuring out. Most colleges nowadays are even allowing students to have an option to create their own major because of the excessive variety in life today. The amount

Thinking about the future is very stressful. As a junior, I am nearing the end of my high school career and now being urged to think about what I want to do with the rest of my life. All the time I am being asked, “where do you want to go to college?”, “what do you want to major in?”, or “what do you want to be when you grow up?”. If you are anything like me, you like to have a well thought out plan for your life. My plan so far is to work as hard as I can in high school to achieve all A’s and a high GPA, get into a great college, and study to become a surgeon. At the moment I am not completely sure how I’m going to acquire these goals, but I am going to do my very best.

Have you thought about your career in the future? Most people in my school know what they want their career for them to be. For example, my cousin who is now a senior, decided that he wanted to go to the military, like many other young men. Even I, a twelve year old girl, knows and planned what she wants to do in the future. I will try really hard to become obstetrician, a type a doctor who delivers babies. The reason for my choice is because of many things about them except the money. That is why I always try really hard in school and it pays off. I chose my career, now it is your turn.

There are a few choices in your life that are huge and will impact your life in a big way, and you should be the one making those decisions. There is a lot of pressure on kids to go to college after high school because they've been

Everyone is expected to have an exact idea of what they are going to do with their life by the end of high school, but in what way does high school actually prepare someone for this decision? It’s all fun and games when people are kids. It is easy. Who doesn’t prefer elementary math to calculus? Who doesn’t miss nap time or that amazing Oreo cereal that was tragically discontinued? When we’re kids we have a whole life of memories to make and experience. We start to learn what we like and what we dislike. We start to get the idea of who we are and we imagine all the directions our lives can go. Some kids want to be astronauts or rock stars. Others want to heal people or stop world hunger. As for me, when I was a kid, I wanted to work at McDonalds so I could get free happy meals. Don’t judge.

My own parents reminding me, “You can do better,” just once a month while growing up cascaded into my love for learning and pursuit of knowledge. A meaningless entry level job exposed me to reality and caused me to develop a plan to become something more while still reinforcing that idea of never forgetting where I came from. Interactions with as few as five to ten people were enough to make me hesitant and guarded. These little things will continue to haunt and encourage me as I progress towards whatever it is I am to be in this world. I have goals and I have plans to meet those goals. All that is left is to see how the trifles take me

The best advice I have ever received would be to do whatever your heart desires and don't let anything get in your way or stop you. This advice has helped me throughout my high school career and job greatly. Many people have goals in life and will do anything in their power to reach that goal. I have always felt that I would need to take the easy way out and just go with the flow throughout life, but now I feel as if I should challenge myself and do everything to the best of my abilities. Life can throw things at you that you aren’t expecting in any way, but you can overcome that and push through it to be able to achieve your goal. Doing whatever your heart desires is based on doing what you want to do as with your own life and have it reflecting

Do you like being pressured into knowing what you want to do before completing high school? What if you had a little more time to decide? What about having the chance to make some money in the process? This is possible. I know that when students graduate from high school it can be difficult for them to choose their path or even afford to go to college. Sometimes we feel like we are too young to know what we want to do with our lives after high school. Don’t fret. There is a way to can succeed. Students can go to college and know what you want, all they need to do is take a “gap year”. Students should take a gap year before starting post secondary in order to explore career options, to save funds for school, and to develop mature habits.

Some people grow up knowing exactly what they want to be. I was one of these people, but I doubted I would ever make it and be successful at what I wanted to do. Until I decided to take the Allied Health program at my high school. The two years it took me to complete this program were some of the best years of my high school career. Not only was I able to learn about things like infectious disease processes and purkinje fibers, but I also got to see what certain parts of the medical field were like up close through job shadowing at our local hospital. Before I entered this program, I always knew that I wanted to do something in the medical field, but I was not very confident in myself. I did not think I was smart enough or dedicated enough,

When traversing highways and interstates, people run into many different types of drivers. Those operating vehicles all fall into a certain category. Drivers, though more than likely not self-aware, have a very specific way of driving that allows them to fall into such a category; however, drivers typically do not have a problem calling out other drivers on their faults. It would almost seem that a long trip or even a quick run anywhere is really just a never ending sequence of blaring horns and screeching halts in contempt for drivers outside of one’s own classification. Vehicle operators will either drive carelessly, dangerously, or carefully. Drivers can be classified into three categories: The DJ, Daredevils, and Goody Two-Shoes.

“What do you want to be when you grow up,” is a question that I have been occasionally asked throughout my life. In elementary school, I, an avid bookworm and grammar enthusiast at the time, answered, “an editor.” In middle school, my answer changed to, “a physicist,” because my very first public presentation was about a physics project. In high school, the question asked has evolved from what I want to be, to what I will be. Never in my life would I have dreamed of saying, “A teenage parent.” For my parents, however, that was the only assertive answer they had in their life, because my mother got pregnant in high school. The freedom to choose what you want to be has, in most cases, subconsciously been taken for granted.

When was the last time you thought about your future? These days, many school systems are requiring their students to fill our career-planning forms as young as elementary school. By the time you have reached the high school level, you should have a pretty good idea of what you want to do with your life. You may change your mind over time, but you should at least be thinking about your future at this stage, because your future is approaching faster than you might want to believe. Part of your concern should be on whether or not you are prepared to face the real world when you step out of the doors of your high school for the last time. When you receive your diploma in that graduation line, are you really going to be prepared to study at a university or start working a regular job? If the answer is no, then your high school curriculum might not be focusing on the future of the students. A high school curriculum that focuses on the future is a high school curriculum that prepares students for the future.
