Open in new tab An elementary school teacher
An elementary school teacher will be teaching different types of lessons regarding the subject taught in a classroom setting. She will plan and execute these lessons, set instructions and will evaluate the progress of her students. An elementary school teacher will be teaching a grade varying from kindergarten to fifth or sixth grade (depending on the area). The daily life would look similar to a 9 to 5 job as she will have to work after school hours to prepare lessons and will evaluate her students work. The necessary education would include university with a Bachelor of Education degree as well as a practicum. Being an elementary school teacher would be a well-suited career for me because I’m creative, open-minded, patient and determined. Creativity will help me create new and exciting lessons to keep the students engaged, being open-minded will allow me plan out lessons made for a variation of students by adjusting to their needs. Patience and determination will help me teach these lessons using different methods and styles until the students comprehend. My interests in science, French and creative writing (English) will be of use depending on the subject taught; however, the three offer a great selection when finding an available spot. I’m improving on my areas for future growth (analyzing information and time management) and will be gradually improved each day as these are key to succeed.
A photographer
A photographer is usually someone who takes photos for fun, solely as a hobby; however, you can turn this creative hobby into a career. A day in the life as a photographer would vary on your clients; so starting out you would have to be marketing your work (portfolio through website) to (local) businesses through events. In order to become a photographer, you need lots of experience in developing your skills in photography and marketing your work. You don’t need any post-secondary education to succeed; however, you can take a multitude of classes to expand your knowledge. Being a photographer would align with my strengths, skills and interests. My strengths in creativity will help in designing photoshoots and being passionate will allow me to continue working because it’s what I love to do. My skills include patience and determination; patience will allow me to be patient throughout the process and determination will help me stay focused on my goals and path in getting there. Photography is one of my hobbies and although it is a risk to pursue a career in a creative path, it is ultimately one of my career preferences. One of the areas for future growth includes time management which is essential with planning my daily life and will improve gradually throughout daily life.
