Personal Narrative: Real Estate Broker

Real Estate Broker- The Right Choice It has come to my attention that I am growing up and I will soon need to choose a career path. As of now, I have about four and a half years to decide and outline my future. To some people, that may seem like a huge amount of time, but when you think about it, that isn’t much time. This is why I’ve decided the career path I would like to take, as of now that is. I will tell you my hobbies before my career choice so you can see that it is the perfect choice for me. One of my favorite things to do is cooking and baking because it gives you a chance to create anything you want. Recently, I did a cooking competition with my friends for fun, and I really enjoyed that. Another thing I enjoy doing is playing soccer because it is so much fun to be on a team and try to accomplish a goal- winning. I also like to do archery, and hunting because something about shooting a bow is so exhilarating. Most of the other things I have fun doing like, fishing, hiking, and swimming, are
outside because I love the outdoors and all in it.
I like interacting with adults and even children because it is nice to talk with people, and that was one of the major reasons for my career choice as well as the fact that I enjoy watching HGTV.
Houses just intrigue me, and I love the idea of looking inside of homes. The structure of a house is cool to notice, and examine. I took a couple of career surveys, and the results were teaching, giving advice, helping and being of service to people, architecture and construction and human services. Okay, so you’ve guessed it! My career choice is a real estate broker. There couldn’t be the better career choice that corresponds to all of these surveys. Real estate brokers involve teaching because when you tell the buyers features of the home, you are teaching them and also giving advice, human services, and being of service to people. Architecture and construction relate to a real estate broker career because without the construction, there wouldn’t be houses to
sell.
I created a set of goals so I could reflect my progress towards reaching my goal. Because I can’t make one goal for ten years from now, and wait to accomplish it until then, I made short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals. My short-term goals are for this year, and they are: get first honors every marking period, complete this project and discover more about the career that I want, and ask someone in this career about it and what they like about it. The next four goals I made were for my entire school career: get good grades, possibly go to votec, decide what career I definitely want to do, get accepted to a college that will contribute to the career path I want to take. Some of the last goals I have are the ones that are going to take me into my career: graduate from college and earn a degree, get a starter job that will add something to my record, get a job as a real estate broker, be able to support a family or even myself.
