I find interior design to be a very interesting career because of how impactful and exciting it is. Buying/ planning for a house can be a very big step in life and this career allows you to help people achieve it. I think it would be so fun and fulfilling to use my creativity to design a home for someone. I have always enjoyed decorating and strongly believe that I would enjoy this job.

I believe that cosmetology is a very interesting career due to the purpose behind it. I have always enjoyed doing hair, and I find it even more enjoyable when it involves making someone feel good about themself. Cosmetology is a great career field that involves making connections with others and helping them in a positive way. I have also always found interest in learning about different concepts involving hair health and hair styles. Overall, I think this would definitely be a career I would love to pursue because it involves something I'm interested in and allows me to help others.

I am extremely interested in this career because of how fulfilling and impactful the job is. The inconsistency of the career excites me. I enjoy knowing that everyday a teacher goes into work, they are faced with a new problem to solve and a new person to help. Becoming a teacher will allow me to not only educate others, but to also be there for them when they need it the most. I love to take on leadership roles, have always enjoyed being in the school setting, and have always been taught to live everyday to serve others. I want to be the light in other students' lives when they need it the most, and that is why I want to become a teacher.

My goals for becoming a teacher involve being as impactful, helpful, and inspirational as possible. I want children to be changed by me in a positive way and for them to see me as a role model they can look up to and count on. Most importantly, I want all of my students to know that I always have their best interest at heart and want them to leave my classroom feeling accomplished and loved. Not only do I want to expand my students' knowledge through my lessons, but I also want them to take away valuable life lessons from my class. My overall goal is to always give all of my effort to them to make them the absolute best versions of themselves.

My goals in this career would consist of making personal connections with all of my clients and helping them feel more confident in themselves. I would hold myself at a high standard to become as knowledgeable in the field as possible and then utilize that knowledge to build a large clientele. I would then positively benefit this clientele by styling their hair the way they wish for it to be styled, with an overall goal in mind of making others happy.
