--------------------------------------------------------------

HOW WILL I ACHIEVE THIS?

I will complete my re-sit of my English and maths to progress onto this course to gain my experience to become a beauty therapist. I will have to attend college as much as possible to keep my attendance up to expectation.

--------------------------------------------------------------

CAREERS

i have to talk to beauty therapists for advice on how to become one and qualify on it, i will have to physically go to see one of them to do so, face-to-face contact is much more helpful than online.

beauty therapist is my first option, I have my heart set on this job occupation. beauty therapist requires a wide range of face and body treatments such as facials, massage, hair removal, skin and nail care, make-up treatments, lash and brow service, aromatherapy and reflexology.

--------------------------------------------------------------

RESEARCH

next year i want to progress onto a level 2 beauty course after sitting my english GSCE and sitting my maths one after completing and leaving vocational access, i do not have any GSCE's due to leaving school. i will research this course by going onto the website to find out more useful information to help me apply and study in the course.

--------------------------------------------------------------

QUALIFICATIONS

getting a level 2 beauty course requires 2 GCSE's of english and maths which requires atleast a D grade.

(This course is more of a extra skill/quality I want to obtain for beauty therapy.)

the reason i want to pass this pathway is because it involves creativity and design, this skill will allow me to express my passion and ideas with patterns and culture mainly.

Attitude is - a reaction that can come in a positive or negative way.

behavior is - actions linked to a persons attitude.

GENEARL EXAMPLE

--------------------------------------------------------------

A persons behavior will be linked to their attitude through a thought process or belief they have. This could be more of a reaction verbally to a situation and having a certain way of responding to it. For example, if a bad situation happens it is common for people to respond negatively, but reactions also come with consequences. Or, reacting positively with a calm verbal approach can make the situation better or easier to manage.

--------------------------------------------------------------

REACTING NEGATIVELY CAN CAUSE THE SITUATION TO BECOME WORSE !! <<

• Reacting badly can make me lose control of the situation and increase the negative outcome of it.

• Not remaining calm can heat the moment.

  ----------------------------------------------------------

  PRIME EXAMPLE OF ATTITUDE:

  If I am struggling with something that I need help with to understand, I will claim access to help and use it. Main point being, something related to college, assuming I am struggling with work, I ask for help in order to receive help. This way is the positive way of making the situation better. Reacting with negative attitude such as skipping the class/subject I am struggling with will make the situation worse and impact my progression in a negative way.

  ----------------------------------------------------------

  >> !! REACTING POSITIVELY CAN CAUSE THE SITUATION TO BECOME BETTER !! <<

  ----------------------------------------------------------

• PRIME EXAMPLE OF BEHAVIOUR:

  Behavior is more of a physical reaction in contrast to attitude, negative behavior is disrespecting and not listening to a tutor in college this type of behavior can escalate to bad behavior. And the outcome will only backfire on me. -------------------------------------

  ( But a positive approach will help me progress further down the path I desire, the kinder I am the further i'll go, tutors are human too. )

--------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLES OF NEGATIVE ATTITUDE FROM ME TO YOU:

• Negative attitude can be, immature behavior to others, constantly arguing with others for no reason and taking all my negative feelings out on everybody else. With friendships, if you have upset your friend, you need to listen to them. Just because you are not bothered by the situation does not mean they aren't. People feel things differently, if you are not willing to understand something you have done to someone, not taking accountability will make you a terrible person and wont resolve the tension between you and that other person. Being kind takes less effort and will make you feel better.

A lot of people ask this, setting goals is to mainly progress to get what I desire in the future. Setting goals have to be realistic, setting a goal that has no progressive objective and steps to success will never work and will not impact my growth mindset. When trying to achieve my overall objective (goals)setting steps to success makes the journey more managable and wont be so overwhelming, but in contrast, trying to go straight to achieving the goal without measured steps to success is almost impossible..

--------------------------------------------------------------

Having backup plans can also really help if >>PLAN A<< does not work out, a lot of people tend to 'wing it' which barely really achieves positive outcomes. Having other ideas to help build up the progress for achieving the goal is much better and provides a greater possibility to achieve it.

--------------------------------------------------------------

• Guide focus

• Sustain momentum

• Align focus and promote self-mastery or mindset.

• Provide clarity, direction, and measurable outcomes

• Enhance motivation, accountability, and productivity

• Give a sense of purpose and accomplishment

--------------------------------------------------------------

To progress further onto the beauty course, I have to go further to pass onto level 2, I have to study hard and have good attendance along with evidence of keeping on track with tasks and work.

--------------------------------------------------------------

MY STRONGEST SKILLS:

• Comforting - Qualities I need for this: Sympathy, empathy, patience, understanding attitude, soft spoken, gentle approaches when dealing with my customers who come to the beauty salon. It is important to build positive relationships with my clients when they come to my salon.

• Responsibility - Qualities I need for this: Good Organization skills, emotional intelligence, knowledge on how to word things, initiative

My goal for this year - I want to progress into level 2 beauty therapy course.

Why i want to achieve this - I want to have a future job in this industry since I am very passionate about it.

Problems that may appear - Life outside of college can get in the way or small things can happen such as being late.

1. Catch earlier buses or trains.

2. If you struggle with time, wake up earlier to have extra time for yourself to function.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I struggle to express my emotions properly, I either shut down or overwhelm people with conflict and confrontation, I was raised with only tough love. And even though I know how to comfort and show gentle love, I struggle to accept it from others. I have finally realized this about myself.

----------------------------------------------------------------

During the first week of college, I felt nervous, light headed and nauseous. Praying that it would be different to high school, I could have easily turned around and not walked out the door to start to make my way there.. but I did not, I walked out that door, held my head high and looked at the positive sides of things, and went to college anyway.

----------------------------------------------------------------I take things too hard on myself all the time, pushing myself is good, but sometimes I do it too harshly to the point where I become burnt out.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I have realized that throughout the days in college I have to keep on a positive show for everyone from fearing that they will start to not like me.

Waiting around for others hours after my classes have finished, I need to realize that having my own space and time is okay, and normal. I quite love the quiet, and the peace, maybe I don't have to always be around others. Doing this can cause drama, so I will stop this habit full stop.

Completion date: By end of december.

--------------------------------------------------------------

TARGET 2 - Distraction

I need to not be distracted by others, I tend to easily lose focus easily and I need to work on that. I will work in quieter places if needed, and move away from distractions.

Completion date: By end of december

--------------------------------------------------------------

TARGET 3 - Overthinking

Stress, I tend to overthink things because I despise not expecting the outcome of it. I tend to come up with multiple possibilities to not disappoint myself. I am not too sure how I will overcome this just yet, it is very easy to say to just work on it, but it will still take me a long time to do so.

Completion date: When I develop improved skills of allowing people to help.
