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, friendly co-workers, a fair boss, and the ability to work independently. These are important to me because I don’t think that I would be very happy at my job if some of these weren’t present. Some unique qualities that I posses are that I am very independent, can work well with others and I am very musical.

Some foundation building blocks that I have already earned are in my Mom’s business with acting and modeling. I also have made a foundation in DECA with Mrs. Wood and Mr. Como. I also have had a few small jobs at Sweetbriar Nature Center and working the farmer’s market in West Hampton with my Grandpa in late spring through early fall. I wish to develop more building blocks in the education world by continuing to participate in Teacher Swap and the High School Heroes program. Some more building blocks I wish to posses are in the polo/horse world by going to tournaments in northern New York (Cornell) and at UCONN.

My Holland code was SIE which stands for Social, Investigative and Enterprising. This matches my personality results because I like to deal with people and students, solve problems such as criminal investigations and also be involved in business such as a company. My personality is very comedic, I love to laugh and crack jokes all the time. I also love dealing with students and teaching them new things.

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. I can easily stand in front of an audience and speak, and convey my thoughts out loud. 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 Holland code is a musician. I currently play 6 instruments and consider myself to be very skilled at 4 of them. A musician would be a good match for me because I have always loved music and would like to have a career where I can challenge my musical talent. My Holland code was a mtch for this career because musicians have to deal with other people and be good at speaking to others, they have to interpret music and be good at problem solving in case a piece needs to be rearranged. Enterprising is not that important in this career but it is still a useful skill to have.

Forensic Anthropology is a career that I cannot describe with words other than cool. What they do is look at bodies that are too decomposed for a pathologist or coroner to identify. Forensic Anthropology is a very difficult field to work in, but if successful, it is worth it. This matches my Holland 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 skeletons to find out how that person died and where and when they lived.

People with a blue interest color enjoy creative, humanistic and thoughtful types of quiet activities. It often leads to work in editing, teaching, inventing, mediating and writing.

People with a red style prefer to perform their job in a manner that is action oriented and practical. They prefer logical, assertive, high pressure jobs. You will want to choose a career path where in which your style is welcomed.

The first career I have chosen is a travel agent. Travel agents help their clients get the best out of their travel budgets. They must explain things like customs, hotels, and the local geography to their clients. Travel agent shave to research a lot of different things and check reservations multiple times in order to make sure that their clients are happy. This career matches my Birkman test results because I love learning about other countries and their customs and I also enjoy traveling a lot. This would be a good job because there are a lot of benefits to learning about other countries and how they live.

The second career I have chosen is a talent manager. Talent Manager’s must collect money from people that owe and also book jobs for their talent. This job uses skills such as financial management and strategically planning. They must collect fees, communicate with clients and develop contacts with individuals and organizations. This career matches my Birkman test results because I enjoy business and have been around this type of career my entire life. This career is very interesting and would be a good match for me because I know exactly how it works and have been around this business my whole life.

The last career I have chosen is an Music Teacher for postsecondary students. In this job one would teach students the aspects of music, conduct pieces, hold lessons, and conduct at concerts and parades. I found this job to a be a good combination of two of the things that I like to do most. I would have to have a vast knowledge of music, its inner workings and many different instruments such as woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings. I think that this job would be a good match for me because I currently play 5 different instruments and am eager to learn as many as possible. This career relates to my Birkman test results because I enjoy music and teaching a lot, so a combination of the two would be a good thing for me to try out.
