Despite being a senior high school, I do not have any idea what I want to do in my future as a career, but that doesn’t stop me from exploring different interesting careers. Although I have applied to several colleges I am still looking for careers that best fit me. Since middle school until now, my interests have waivered from being a nurse, to a cook, to being a psychiatrist. Knowing what career I want to go into would seem like an easy task, but I can’t seem to grasp onto the concept of what I am most interested in. After thinking for a few days, I realized that I have always loved working with computers and showing my family how to operate them. Also multimedia and webpage design was a class that was really interesting and enjoyable. I find myself to be very creative when it comes to working with colors and putting together advertisements on the computer, etc. My Business teacher even suggested that I look more into careers that worked with these electronic devices. I figured that this essay was a great opportunity for me to thoroughly investigate what technology careers interested me. After reading about different careers on the internet, I came across a very fascinating …show more content…
There is no education required past a bachelor’s degree in this occupation. Having a bachelor’s degree helps with employment, since many employers expect a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or some degree that deals with computers. There is even a chance to earn certificates such as “Certified Web Developer, and Certified Internet Webmaster” just to name a few (“Web Developer”). Also employers look for a fluent understanding in computer programs such as Flash, JavaScript, and HTML. Mainly experience and more education with hands on tasks makes a person more desirable to an
Tacchia created. The project includes high school seniors mentoring the high school freshman. Second part of the program is when adults who have become successful, mentor the high school seniors on what comes after high school. The adult mentors gave us some helpful information as to when we have job interviews. My educational and career goals are all planned out. My experience with mentoring the freshman went pretty well. The freshman that seeked advice on high school from me would be named armando. I
a task that will ensure my senior year is not a waste nor just long lost memories. I want to make an effort to make the most of my senior year so that, like my second goal, I have the opportunity to open doors that were once closed to me, and to plan for a successful future.
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly. As a senior, my past is full of things that I wish I had done differently. My past years in high
to administer to high school seniors to graduate seems like a great idea, but in reality it is not. As I have entered into my senior year of high school, I have had a surprisingly abundant amount of work thrown at me. Senior year has only just begun, and I have already had to start applying to colleges, studying for both the SAT and the ACT, and keeping up with regular homework. If seniors were given another test to take to graduate we would only be forced to study more. Senior year is hard enough
success in one’s life. Being in high school was very challenging because of there were twice as many students in high school than they were in middle school and the setting was very different. During my first year in high school, I wasn’t doing as well as I planned. I failed the first semester of my freshmen year, because I wasn’t driven to success. In high school I learned that it can be challenging but it isn’t as difficult as people make it seem. My journey in high school wasn’t the best, owning to
My semester goals include making good grades, furthering my writing skills, and improving management. As a senior in high school, this is my final year before college. In previous years, I have not completely tried my hardest in school. I hope to use my last year of high school to the fullest. This last year I want to learn as much as possible and have fun. Without goals and desires, we would lack motivation and desire to complete task. A semester goal of mine is to make good grades. To obtain
Walter Kirn, in his article “Class Dismissed”, uses statements such as this to attest his opinion that senior year should be removed in part—if not altogether—from the high school system. Kirn sees senior year as an unnecessary extension to the education of students when time is wasted or otherwise spent causing trouble. So completely does he believe this that he states the following: “… [seniors] rule, not because they’ve accomplished much… but because it’s tradition…” The work force or beginning
My senior year is very important and that is why I must use it efficiently. There are many things I hope to accomplish during my senior year. Graduation is my top priority because if I do not graduate my future will be in jeopardy. Clubs and extra activities are very important for college acceptance. I hope to get certified in the areas in which I have been training for. Getting into college so that I can be successful is the main goal in my life is. I hope to get accepted to a college or university
Throughout high school, it was difficult and stressful to decide my future career. Thinking about the future sounded like a “need to do” planning from teachers and family members. So I tried to start on planning my sophomore year, but doing the planning didn’t make any sense to me. Over the years in high school I started to wonder, “why was it so important to plan the future?” Is it because making plans will help us organize our life that is yet to come? I always thought that life can’t be predictable
Hockey goaltending for H.H Dow High School this has been more of a journey than a high school sport the last few years. Transferring from another school created eligibility challenges my sophomore year. My junior year had its struggles as but as upperclassmen it was getting better. Senior year has been the best so far only a few weeks into the season. This year ultimately decides where I play and what I do as I continue my hockey adventures after High school. Leaving AAA elite travel hockey was
The beginning of high school was particularly fun for me because it was a new experience for me and a great one because I was with all my friends since we were all in the same school again. I did not take the first year, two years in high school as serious as I realize now in senior year that I should have. I used that time to just hang out and have something to do with my friends, not to improve my knowledge and better help my education. I never failed a class but I did not work as hard as I now
My One Life Lesson in Sports Medicine Class Sports Medicine and I have always had a fine relationship. I love the subject for a variety of reasons: I like to learn about how the body functions and I would always watch medical shows which interested me in science even more. However, in the beginning of the semester I was doing fine and getting all A’s but at the end of semester two, I started slacking off. I took sports medicine class in my senior years in high school. Sports medicine consisted five
Not knowing what the future holds can sometimes be a scary thing. Things may not always work out all the time and may not always go your way. However, sometimes the future holds blessings in disguise. When I made the transition into high school, it was not an easy task. I did not know that many people, was afraid, was not that participative, and I did not know what to look forward to. I was basically thrown into a whole new world. The upperclassmen especially were the ones who were intimidating
My journey through life has been one full of twists and turns, just as anyone else’s has. Throughout my childhood, I enjoyed myself as a student, and athlete, and just a plain kid. I developed the skills and knowledge that led to my eventual life at North Carolina State University. The culmination of schooling and hard work and even a little bit of chance has set me up brilliantly to be an engineer. With my past behind me and the present shaping of my life, a map of the future looks very prosperous
freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and my fellow classmates, seniors, walk by with their food trays, and sharing laughs with their friends. The three years of high school I have completed so far, were filled with essays, projects, tests, due dates, and headaches. I wouldn’t change anything about the education I have acquired at Santa Cruz Valley Union High School, everything I am learning and have learned will benefit me in college.
