The career that I chose to research was Middle School Education and Teaching. I chose this career because I have always liked going and being at school, I’ve always liked being able to learn new things, and be able to work and be with people every day. A teacher is an educator who provides education for students. Being a teacher can help students in many ways even out of the classroom. A middle school teacher normally teaches the grades sixth to eighth. The reason there is a middle school is to get the students prepared for harder classes in high school. A few things that a teacher does is prepare lessons, quizzes, and tests over the material that they learned. They can teach subjects anywhere from science, math, english, spanish, and any other courses that the school provides. Teachers prepare report cards, talk with the student's parents if needed. They also have to enforce rules and regulations and make sure all students follow them. Teachers don’t just teach they help students with their personal lives and help them grow up to be a better person in the world. Teachers provide and educate students on all core subjects and with learning life skills. A teacher’s work environment is normally…

Determining a career path is one of the biggest decisions in life. When I graduated high school I was not exactly sure what career path I wanted to pursue. What I did know was, I desired a career where I was able to help others. I contemplated between pursuing psychology, nursing, teaching, and counseling. Then I met Jane, who was a special education teacher, then later on she became a Speech Language Pathologist. I was very intrigued as she explained to me about the Speech Language Pathology profession. I recognized how it was a blend of every career I had ever wanted to pursue. I was able to job shadow her in an elementary school and immediately, I knew this was the field for me.…
Since I was a child I was never one of those kids who wanted to be a firefighter, a police officer, a doctor or even a lawyer. My careers made me stand out from the rest of the class. When the teacher asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say computer programmer or music producer. While both computer programming and music production are both time consuming and hard work, computer programming is more complex while music production requires more practice. Most of my life I’ve been trying to decide which one would I like to do more, comparing and contrasting different features in both career’s.…
High school has been an unyielding path. These four years of my high school career have had some positive and even some negative conflicts. Initially, I was very naive and I did not put much effort into school. My grades had dropped at a point where I was having some difficulty to bring them back up, mainly because I was never too strong in subjects such as math or English. But that was an issue that I had to face by worrying less and concentrating more. However, throughout these four years of high school I have improved my ability to learn and also have identified the creative and thoughtful side of me and with these skills I have given back to my community by making it cleaner and more efficient for the next generation. Thankfully, with…
Barbara Kingsolver once said “Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Do not try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It is the one and only thing you have to offer” (“Pinterest”). Most people look at life as if they were typing a paper. In order to get it going first comes the hard part. The hard part is finding what career to write about. For my career, I chose to write about becoming an english double major. I chose this career mostly because I want other kids to have that one teacher that will always be there for them. This career is to help students get ready for their own life outside of high school, make lesson plans, grade work to help monitor progress, and also to help the students learn more about themselves. A person can always make a difference in another person's life but it can take so much more education, time, and understanding in order to impact someone’s life.…
Throughout High School and college I didn't know what career path that I wanted to take. As a college student, I just gained the opportunity to express myself, to spread my wings and to go after my dream only to realize that I didn’t know what it was that I wanted to pursue. The pressure and expectation from everybody did not help the cause either. So I decided that I am going to pursue engineering because it is a profession that I could finish and get a job after 4 years, plus I had friends I knew that were also doing engineering. I attended an engineering seminar along with my friends to attain a better understanding of the job and what it entails to achieve the goal. The classes I needed to take to be an engineer required a lot of math and physics, and once if I became and engineer I would need to apply those subjects in the job. I knew right then that engineering wasn't the right profession for me because I would…
Have you ever wanted to create a mutant ninja plant? Though you probably won’t ever make one, you could breed different types of plant to make a new species of benefiting plants as a plant scientist though not as exciting. When I grow up I want to be a plant scientist which is under the career cluster of STEM (science/technology/ engineering). This job is for me because I am clever, I like to figure out things, and I’m good at it, too. I also really like science and gardening, the idea of breeding plants, and getting a decent amount of money.…

On the warm, cozy night of March 30, 2005 I was born in Livingston, NJ. Throughout my early childhood years, I grew up in South Orange, a suburban town by Seton Hall. My mother always told me I had a thirst for science and creativity. This thirst started my educational career. When I was little, my only dream was to become an astronaut. Neil Armstrong and Martin Luther King Jr. were my childhood heroes (they still are).…
