As a child, my aspirations changed quite frequently. They seemed to be based on my inspirational figures in my life at the time. Through lately, I have learned they should and could reflect my personal interests and abilities.
In Elementary school, I was fascinated with the TV Chef Gordon Ramsey. Today I still appreciate his work, but lack the talent and interest in perfecting creations like his. But as a child I sure did want to be a chef. As the times changed I began to admire Mr. Tatlonghari and Mrs. Becquer as great teachers. This work with children become my pastime. Teaching my sisters in "playschool" was the fun and excitement of the time. Grading papers and learning to use different online grade books was "classy." I even utilized living in St. Paul as an opportunity to make going to the Conservatory or Zoo a great field trip. Teaching even turned into leading swimming lessons at the beach and starting a sister band, where I would transpose and teach each to play their respective instrument.
As I got into high school, I actually drifted away from teaching and looked at Marketing and Youth Ministry. I was finding myself at youth group often and had a college mentor named Hailey. But she constantly reminded me about my love for agriculture and when she moved back to Texas, I was arm to arm with my Ag teacher again. Mrs. Ann Tauzell was my biggest role model, career, faith, and family wise. She continues to be my go to person today and because her passion and willingness to work with even many of our Special Education students, I too am considering adding this minor onto my plate.
These dreams are sawed by others, so clearly some research using interviews with teachers and classmates might better reaffirm this idea. Additionally, not everyone has had the same path, so using the campus database, I could work on gathering historical autobiographies of how people ended up in the career they did.
