In my life I hope to go to college, live on Long Island, continue to play polo, ride horses, play as many instruments as I do, and have a family. I hope to make it to DECA Nationals before I graduate and have had some good job experiences. I have a few jobs that would fulfill my dreams but one of them sticks out more than the others and I hope to take steps towards making these dreams come to life.

Some of my work values are having a safe environment to work in, fr iendly co-work ers, a fair boss, and the abi l i ty to work independently. These are important to me because I don’t think that I would be very happy at my job i f some of these weren’t present. Some unique qual i ties that I posses are that I am very independent, can work wel l with others and I am very musical .

Some foundation bui lding block s that I have already earned are in my M om’s business with acting and modeling. I also have made a foundation in D E CA with M rs. W ood and M r . Como. I also have had a few small jobs at Sweetbr iar Nature Center and work ing the farmer ’s market in W est H ampton with my Grandpa in late spr ing through ear ly fal l . I wish to develop more bui lding block s in the education wor ld by continuing to par ticipate in Teacher Swap and the H igh School H eroes program. Some more bui lding block s I wish to posses are in the polo/ horse wor ld by going to tournaments in northern New York (Cornel l ) and at UCONN.

M y H olland code was SI E which stands for Social , I nvestigative and E nterpr ising.

This was one of the first careers that I have ever considered, and it seems to have stuck with me. I think that this is a good career for me because I have always loved teaching.

It matches my Holland code because teachers have to be social with other people and their students, they have to solve problems such as children that misbehave and they also have to understand business aspects in order to teach students the same type of things. I have always loved teaching and I participate in teaching programs such as High School Heroes and Teacher Swap every year.

The second career that I have chosen based on my H ol land code is a musician. I currently play 6 instruments and consider myself to be very sk i l led at 4 of them. A musician would be a good match for me because I have always loved music and would l ik e to have a career where I can chal lenge my musical talent. M y H olland code was a mtch for this career because musicians have to deal with other people and be good at speak ing to others, they have to interpret music and be good at problem solving in case a piece needs to be rearranged. E nterpr ising is not that important in this career but i t is sti l l a useful sk i l l to have.

This matches my H olland code because I would get to work in a laboratory setting with many other people, this job is mostly based on the investigative aspect because they work with sk eletons to find out how that person died and where and when they l ived.
