I’ve never known what to say when I’m asked about my future career because there’s not only one thing that pops in my head. I know my passion, but I need money to fulfill it. My plan is to go on a “money-making journey” to get to where I want to go. On this journey, I don’t want to do anything that I wouldn’t love, unless I have to and it would benefit me in the future. Although, along the way, I know I’ll have to keep in mind that rewards don’t come without hard work and dedication; which I’m definitely willing to give. Going to college is non-negotiable for me. I am committed to attending Lewis and Clark State College. After high school graduation, I will hopefully be moved up to Lewiston, Idaho in my own apartment. I would like to walk away from the university with a Minors degree in Business and a Majors degree in Forestry.
During this time in college, I will be in my early twenties, where I plan to find my inner peace and figure myself out as a person. Socrates once said that “To find yourself, you must think for yourself”. I don’t want to only find myself; I want to find good people, with even better souls, to surround myself with throughout this change in my life. Between the beginning of high school and the end of college

Boosting my self-confidence and social ability is something I’m looking for in any career I choose. I never want to do anything that doesn’t improve my mental health. Having talking to people, helping them out, negotiating, making your own life-changing career decisions, and standing on your own, are all skills someone can take away from working either one of these wonderful career choices. Someone who can’t hold a conversation with a stranger, or someone they’re not familiar with, should avoid this type of social career. The career I choose will be one I can continue to learn from, long after I
When we were little, we thought the word “Career” was not a big deal, but as a senior in high school, the word has become our reality as we start to finish our last semester. The question we’ve been asked all these years is, what do you want to be when you grow up? But our answer is simple: we don’t want to grow up. As an innocent kid it seemed like the time would never come, but it has. It’s time to get serious and really ponder this question.
People “find themselves” in many different ways. College, or moving out is one way our culture takes the next step into adulthood. We usually use this time to find our self and create the life we want. Some people have taken that to the next step by walking a thousand miles to find themselves or even moving to a different country to seclude themselves for a while. I have not found myself. I am going to college in hopes that I find myself one day. Being in the dark and confused can be scary. I can relate to Siddhartha in this way. He felt the need to leave his father, rebel against him, to find his purpose in life.
But, once I graduate high school, my next step is to attend Tulsa Community College. There were several factors in this decision. Such as, I get to live at home still and continue to save my money. I get to attend for free since I live in Tulsa County and will perform forty hours of community service. Plus, the great thing about community colleges is that they accept anyone, whether they tried or did not try in school, students still have a way to continue their education. Community college allows for students to take the time to figure out what they want to do with their life. I am grateful I was presented with this option to attend Tulsa Community College, otherwise, I might be going to a four-year school, far away from my family, and I might be stuck in a major that I am no longer interested
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” I am asked that question frequently the older I get. I change my mind quite often, because I do not know what I want to be or what I want to do for the rest of my life. To pick a college is one thing, but to choose a career that will help you survive in this world is a much bigger step. Most of the time when people choose their profession, they end up choosing the job’s salary over the job itself. I do not want to be one of those people because I would rather choose happiness over money. Money might get you a lot of things, but it will not get you everything. I often like to acknowledge the idea nursing to whoever may ask. Obstetric nursing is something that interests me because I am making a positive
In closing, college will be a great opportunity for me to create lifelong memories and friends. College will not only set me on the path of success, but will also inspire other people and maybe even my future kids to get a college
Choosing a career path that is right for you can be the most crucial decisions you make in your life. Not only is making the right choice important for the present, but it is especially important for your future. When choosing a career it is valuable to consider things such as growth potential, monetary benefits, strengths, weaknesses, and your happiness. By doing that it will help clarify the benefits and tradeoffs for each opportunity you are given. That being said, making such a weighted decision that will impact the rest of your life can be nerve-racking, extremely scary, stressful, and outright frustrating. However, making this decision is not impossible and can become less complicated if you are given the right tools. Gathering information
This essay is a comprehensive look at my future career and leadership goals. It utilizes all the work that I have completed during my internship, and required that I truly look at the usefulness of reflective thinking as an administrator. Likewise, this paper examines the benefits and drawbacks of the impact of reflections on my personal leadership as a future educational administrator. Moreover, this essay examines the affect that reflections can have on my future leadership goals, and how the practice of reflexive learning will led to future growth. Ultimately leading to a fulfilment of the leadership and career goal that I seek.
I’m a student at Tompkins Cortland Community College this is my first semester as a college student. I plan to go to college for four years and only be at TC3 for this one semester, then transfer to a four year school. College has grown around the world more than ever and more people are attending college more than ever. I have chosen to go to college because of the rewards after graduation. Yes it is another four years of school but by getting more education and an extended degree gives me more opportunities for better jobs and more money. The career I have chosen to study is business administration. I am hoping that it takes me to a great job managing a company or possibly being an accountant.
During the course of my college career I have discovered that it takes more than just completing assignments and attending classes to be a student worthy of the instruction one receives from a professor. It takes dedication, ethics, and a drive that comes from within to be a leader. One that others in the student population can look up to and model their academic career like; one that professors are pleased to have in their class. It has been my goal these years to be a student like this, and I have kept my drive towards this achievement action orientated at all times.
Katharine Butler Hathaway once said, “A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.” In doing this, I broadened my horizons and changed my outlook on life. Now, as I move on to college, I am leaving my family and friends again to educate and better myself so that I am prepared to walk down any path on the road of life.
When I first enrolled here at State University, I never thought I would ever be in the position to graduate. Finishing college was a huge goal growing up but it was also my biggest fear. But after three and a half years of dedication I plan to get my degree in the fall. Getting this far in college was not easy, it took encouragement from family, dedication, and assistance from others to reach this position.
Possibly the biggest choice of any person's life remains what vocation to go into. Even areas people have skills in may not give enough satisfaction to turn into a career, whether that satisfaction stays financial or otherwise. Whatever occupation I choose, I sincerely hope that the trek will remain on its uncertain and awesome course.
I have been given a lot of grief about my choice to further my education in the fine arts. I have been told that I should not follow my passion, because it will leave me with very few job options. I have been told that even if I am lucky enough to find a job that the pay will be terrible. I have been told that I should obtain a career that doesn't interest me just for the sake of a salary. Well, I hope to prove those naysayers wrong, I might not be pursuing a career that is renowned for being “stable,” but I am pursuing my passion.
As I have reflected on the examined life, intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually, over the span of this semester and applied it to our own life, I have noticed a theme that links each of these dimensions together. Life is a journey of self discovery where individuals are constantly trying to come to terms with who they are as a person. Through this journey, individuals can find their calling or vocation in life, discover their potential, know one’s self, and even just make sense of life. Furthermore, I will examine this theme of self discovery in the context of each dimension and apply it to what I have learned over the course of this semester.
This relates to most of my life. Social health is all about our interactions and relationships we have with people. I feel pretty strong in my ability to fulfill my social roles I deal with people on a daily basis. I have no problem talking to anyone I am very outgoing and love meeting new people. My job helps me everyday get better at this skill, it is an important skill to have in the working world of today. I like to give my undivided attention to people and listen to them and help. My social health gets better with each day I am very proud of my strength in this dimension. I have a good ability to help people to be a
