1. Define your career goal
My career goal is to be a mortician, and possibly later on a proud owner and Funeral Director of my own Funeral Home.

2. Identify career requirements
In order to be a mortician, you must get your associates degree in Mortuary Science, complete 1-2 years of apprenticeship, and complete your National Board Exam.

3. Evaluate your accomplishments, skills, & interests
My grades are good, and I have a 3.6 GPA. Not only that but I also am in the A+ program.

4. Identify possible obstacles
Most of the time, if you do not have any family members in the Funeral Industry then your chances of finding a funeral home to work for are even that much slimmer.

5. Determine steps to reach your career goal
I found a funeral home less than a mile away from my house, I will be trying to get an internship or just volunteer there. Upon completeing the requirements for the A+ program, and graduating High School, I will be going to MCC for free. Afterwards I will go into my apprenticeship to be a mortician (taking my state exam when needed), at the same time attending cosmetology college. Thus afterwards I will be set to be what I'd like to think of as "THE WORLD'S GREATEST MORTICIAN".
