Student Reflection

1. What did I like about this job?
2. A) It requires organization of logistics and supplies, and as someone who likes to clean up and organize things this is something that I can do.

 

1. B) Since it’s simply just organization, I won’t need to exert as much energy to do work, this is important since I may still have health issues up to now, and I prefer not to exert too much effort to make a living off of

 

1. C) I won’t need to interact with other people that often other than my colleagues, this is good since I dislike jobs like waiters, cashiers etc.

 

2. What do I dislike about this job?
3. It’s extremely boring, there’s nothing else interesting about the job other than fixing up supplies.

 

1. It’s monotonous, it will end up getting less and less enjoyable as time goes on.

 

1. It doesn’t play to my strengths, I really like writing and creating stories, but I can’t take advantage of that in a job like this.

 

3. Is this the job for me?

 

Frankly, no, the medical job runs in my family, my father is a CEO of a company that sells medical equipment, my mother used to be a nurse before she moved here (she still has a hospital related job) and my sister is studying to become a doctor, I seem to be the only one in the family who won’t be pursuing any medicine related professions, I am considering being a lawyer, but writing and creating stories are what I enjoy the most aside from gaming, I may even decide to become a videogame story writer, but after TOKTWD, medicine just isn’t for me.

 

4. Explain the value of the TOKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post-secondary (after high school) plans (education? training? travel? work?)

 

I think this experience is crucial for me to narrow down what job profession I want to have, and in turn my respective school courses. I may get into the writing industry and gaming industry, I may want to take literature and history related courses since they are essential to creating both stories set in reality and in fiction. I think working as an independent author would be too daunting, so I’ll instead work alongside others in creating movies, games, shows, etc.
