I spent countless hours trying to decide what i wanted for my future. I jumped from wanting to be a chef to wanting to be a fashion designer to wanting to be a home decorator. Finally I decided to just wait and see if anything sparked my interest. So I waited and waited, and still nothing. It wasn't until grade 10 when I was sitting in business class that I decided a little part of what I wanted to do with my life and for the first time I actually felt like I was meant to do something ]]> 2016-12-16 15:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144071720 jessflood101 https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144474694     When I was in grade 10 business last year I learned a little bit about accounting. Most people found it difficult but I found it fairly easy. There was student away on the day of the lesson and I was able to explain it to them in a more understandable way then what the teacher could. Since I found it so easy I decided to take grade 11 accounting. My mark my grade 11 accounting class is in the 90's. I really enjoy accounting. In my opinion my quick understanding of and interest in accounting are both examples of skills that that i have that reveal my potential future careers and the are also omens that are connected to what I am meant to do.]]> 2016-12-20 15:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144474694 jessflood101 https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144689507 Although I love accounting there is no way i could stare at numbers all day so I decided i should open my own business and do something that I can have fun with. I've always enjoyed planning parties of every kind, and I've especially liked the idea of planning weddings.  While I was planning my sweet 16 party I realized just how much I love planning events. It was an awakening for me it was one of those things where I just thought to myself this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. Why not make my future career something I love doing? Why can't my job be fun? I believe that my love for planning parties and the fact that I am actually good at planning parties are omens pointing me to my future career.]]> 2016-12-22 15:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144689507 jessflood101 https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144691869 About 25-30 years ago my grandparents started a business selling plants and trees. The business quickly grew into its current size. It has 5 greenhouses that each house a lot of plants and trees, it has a garden center and a field that all of the bigger trees are planted in. As a young child i used to dream about one day owning this beautiful business. I felt that it was what I was meant to do. I worked at the business a lot while growing up, I helped my grandparents with a lot of things but as time went on the idea of owning the family business was no longer a glamorous thought.]]> 2016-12-22 15:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144691869 jessflood101 https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144693374 When I was 8 Years old after my grandfather who i looked up to and the reason I wanted to be a part of the family business passed away I started helping my grandmother at the business I would do the small jobs and sometimes larger jobs with the help of my grandmother. As I got older though I began to think that this wasn't the kind of life that I wanted and the job became less than fun. Not only that but it became something that I dreaded. I began to believe that I was not meant to be a part of the family business. My sudden change in opinion of wanting to be part of the family business is an omen. Not only that but I just wasn't that good at it I didn`t have the skill set for it.]]> 2016-12-22 15:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/144693374 jessflood101 https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/146423279 The man in this video perfectly explains every thing about being an event planner. Every thing that he says describes exactly the type of job I would like for example as he said I don’t want that typical sitting at a computer from 9-5 job I want to do something more. I think that me wanting to do more than sit at a computer from 9-5 is an omen that points me in the general direction of this job. Also a lot of the skills that he lists are skills that I have that reveal a potential for me doing well taking this career path.]]> 2017-01-11 03:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jessflood101/personal_Legend/wish/146423279
