After taking the Career Cluster Match Test I got a top score of 11 in the Education and Training pathway. I am not surprised by these results because I think my personality and my abilities line up well with the education field. Careers in the education and training pathway include: administration, professional support services, and teaching.

From those careers the one that interests me most is teaching. A characteristic of teaching that I find appealing is that you have the ability to grow young minds. I love being able to help people, especially children learn. I tutor elementary schoolers, and that solidified my love for teaching.
