My Career Path


My career goals have been like a very intense game of pin-ball, bouncing off a handful of exciting options to chose from. Now as I've grown and matured over the years my need to play around with the fate of my aspirations have come to a stand still, one of which I've finally come to the conclusion of my career path for the future.



As a senior in high school I'm ready to announce my plans for the future (as every college has already forced me decide way back in September when deciding a major), I will be studying Psychology in hopes to become a Psychologist, School Counselor or even double up with an education degree and end up teaching psychology myself. I discovered my love of the human mind and the reactions people have to the obstacles in front of them early on in my high school career as I pondered the importance of balance and emotions. Over the years I have also witnessed many cases of mental illness around me and instead of feeling powerless I want to be able to offer a helping hand and solution to the hurting people in the world.




For the education degree aspect I mentioned earlier, I do find myself interested in teaching since a very young age, but it is the lack of positions that causes me to stray away from fully pursing a career in that field. Potentially I do see myself choosing to teach Psychology in a school or even doubling my major to teach English and council on the side. If I chose to follow the teaching field and school environment I will also look into becoming the director of my very own high school drama club. This passion is fueled by the good memories and development that I faced in my many years in theatre.

No matter what I chose to follow in my future I know that I have what it takes to flourish and succeed in life because I am driven and optimistic.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
