Khan.Session1. Journal
First of all, I want to start off by saying I have no idea what I’m doing. I speak honestly from my heart when I say I have no idea what I’m doing. Since I was 12 years old I dreamed of one day becoming a business owner I was always thinking of ways and my head was filled with ideas day and night. I also dreamed of going to college and earning a business degree. When I say I Have no idea what I’m doing is due to the fact, I have never been to college and I feel very lost in all this. My heart’s desire is to earn a degree for me not for anyone else but for myself and to further my education. Well in 2014 I went to school to pursue a cosmetology license and in 2015 I received a license from the state of Texas. From the

I thought I could just find a place, pay the deposit and hang the sign. I was so excited to get the keys and start decorating my space and have my big grand opening. So I get the keys start painting hanging pictures and just feeling so confident about myself. After a few weeks of decorating I get to the grand opening, it’s here finally. The first day is friends and family coming out to show support and see the beauty services I offer. It was a great opening and turnout was great. I put out the word that I was in the area and was expecting for the customers to come flooding in. I had flyers printed, my sign was up I was on every social media site known to man. Well after one month my rent was due and whatever money I made was all going to rent. I was fully aware that was going to be the case for the first one to two years, that I would not see any profit just what I had enough to pay my salary and that was hardly anything after all expense. Month number two came and rent was due again but this time not having all of from whatever was made, I had no choice but to pull from my own pocket. Month number three, four and then month five, it was not going good for me. I was $10,000 over my head pulling from my pocket just to cover my cost
Having had to work the majority of my adult life, I have always worked at jobs that only paid slightly higher than minimum wage because I did not have a college degree. I would always feel a pang of regret whenever I read a help wanted ad for a job that I knew I could do, but knew I would not get hired for because I did not have that all important piece of paper. I have always toyed with the idea of going back to school, but could never get past the fear of failing. I must admit I was never a good student in high school and ...
I became a hairstylist and after finishing the program I still felt that it was not exactly what I wanted to do. Although I have made this my career. It never really fulfilled the longing for something with more purpose. Although I am creative minded I felt like there was still something missing so I continued to search. I “settled” when I went in another direction entirely. Thinking I wanted to go into the medical field, I also took the easy route by becoming a certified nursing assistant and a medication aide. Both programs were certificate programs that I completed relatively easily, thinking I wanted to become a nurse but never following through with that either. So, I feel like these odd jobs and certificates have brought me to where I am right this very second. I know my whole entire life, I can remember wanting to become more making myself proud and making my parents and my daughter proud of me. While raising my child, I would always say to her “I don’t want you to end up being like me” so therefore I have instilled values in her about how important it is to have a good education. I wish I had taken my own advice. I want her to become exactly what she wants to be.
Journal bearing is a type of bearing that supports the load by providing a plain surface which uses a lubricant to reduce the friction between the rotating and the stationary part. These types of bearings are also known as fluid film bearings because of the presence of a film of lubricant between shaft and bearing.
I have wanted to be a hair stylist since I was in 8th grade. As a child I struggled to learn new hairstyles and new makeup techniques, I remember feeling frustrated,helpless,and sad. I recognized my mistakes and spent hours watching makeup and hair tutorials online and would continue to practice with my little cousin Ashlyn, and myself. It took a lot of time and a great deal of patience but I finally understood what I was doing and how to apply makeup correctly and learned how to blend. The joy and pride I felt was unmatched by any other moment in my preceding 13 years,besides in 6th grade when I did my first dance solo to, lead e to the cross, I achieved first
Every since I was a child I have had a passion for doing other people’s hair. When I was little I would use my baby dolls as clients and work on their hair until it was perfect and neat. I have chosen to be in the cosmetology field because I like to help other people with their needs and wants as well as mine. I am aware that while working in this industry I will work with many different ethnic groups and many different hair types. I feel I can do anything as long as I have the determination to do so. Many people go to cosmetology school to work for someone else, but I would like to open up a mini-salon out of my own home someday.
Or made you want to become a cosmetologist? Well I am going to tell you how you can. You have to have a little bit of talent to learn to do cosmetology because it is hard to learn how to do makeup, hair, nails, and hands. You also have to get a degree in cosmetology, obviously. This may not be a surprise to you, but you need a degree in business if you want to start your own business in cosmetology. Another thing you need is at least 2 years of professional experience. Once you have these things, you can get started. It may get a little hard to start your own business if you decide to, but you can’t give up. When you decide to go on and just get a job at first, then your professor will give you a list of jobs that fit your needs. You will love to meet new friends at your job and I hope that you will decide to become a cosmetologist. If you love it as much as I do, then you will never want to quit this

I have never heard of the profession before and I was interested in finding out what it was because it was one of my primary careers. I began researching Occupational Therapy and became intrigued from the moment I read it's meaning. "Occupational Therapy assist individuals with disabilities, injured , elderly with health problems or regaining skills, to keep living a full filled life by getting them back to functioning using day to day daily activities" (occupations). I printed copies of all the information I found on Occupational Therapy and researched schools. There was the option to go for an OTA, (Occupational Therapy Assistant) at a Community College. I set my mind and decided I would work toward an OTA. Though I thought I was finally set and finally found my career path, life reminded me I was now out of High School and responsible for contributing to some of my family's financial obligations. Going to College was my choice it was never something my parent's ever talked to me about or mentioned. I come from a family who has migrated from South America and their only goals was to work long hours at manufacturing job to make a
Hello my name is ______________ I am a twenty nine year old married mother of two. I’ve been married for twelve years and I have an eight years old boy and a two years old girl. Since I was nineteen years old in the fall of 1991 I’ve attempted to earn a college degree attending first Tarrant County Junior College and second Weatherford College stop and starting back again several times over the years trying to reach my goal. In the summer of 1995 when my oldest was two my husband and I moved our mobile home on to new land, which required my assistance helping out financially. I started working for a great company that I loved, Auto Rail Services of Texas they are an afflation of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway were I worked part time in the evenings doing data entry. Six months later I started working full time as the assistant office manager in charge of the day-to-day operations. I was sent to Tarrant County Junior College to gain a certificate in Microsoft Office applications. I continued to advance with in the company and enjoyed working there but in the July of 1998 the company suffered financially when Ford Motor Company moved there business to Union Pacific Railway, which caused downsizing in the company I was laid off. I contemplated going back to school after this but couldn’t financially afford to stop working full time. The following October I became pregnant with our second child and after her birth my husband and I decided to downsize our financial situation so that I could remain home with the baby. When the child was seven months old I took a part time position in my aunts security company where I assisted in the office and was able to bring my child with me. Not long after my aunts company was forced to go out of business, which caused me to relay on unemployment compensation, threw Texas Workforce Commission there I was informed I could return to college and receive assistance with childcare. I began all the necessary proceedings for the program and was informed before I could actually get the assistance I would need to pass the TASP test a mandatory test required before you are eligible to receive a degree in the State of Texas. Having passed all but the math section of the test I decided I would take a preparatory tasp math class.
Every fear I had resolved itself and for one of the first times in my life I felt I was in the right place. Then the question came back, what are you going to do with this degree? I thought about teaching, and remembered how the moments I spent in the art room left a lifelong impact on my life. That was it, I believed my purpose in life was to teach youth about the powers of art and signed up for a semester full of teaching courses. Half way through the semester I was told by a professor, “the arts will be cut from public schools so don't waste your
Do you remember when your sister used to write in her diary and how curious you were on finding out what she wrote in it? If you didn’t have a sister – do you remember keeping your own diary hoping that your mom would not find it one day and read it? At a young age, we all learn to keep a diary or journal. In elementary school, we may have been required to write in a journal in class replying to a question asked by the teacher like “How was your weekend?” or “How was your break?” Simple questions were asked to help generate ideas in our young minds and help us write our own story. But now that we are older, do we still have the opportunity to write our own story the same way we used to? Are we still able to release our emotions and reflect on events in our lives? Though many people see keeping a journal as childish or a waste of time, the effects of recording ones thoughts are beneficial.
I had so many goals as in finishing also with beauty school and get my associate’s degree at Essex County College both at the same time. So, I withheld myself from graduating and going to a four year college because I felt I wasn’t honestly ready, but at the same time I wanted to leave to be “free like a bird”. But, then with the support of going through therapy and having a better communication with my Mother, who I look up to. Because in my eyes she’s my role model, who also played both roles as a Mother/Father figure. Who I’m thankful to currently still have in my life, who’s my rock and supporter that haven’t let me down. Thanks to her I brought myself up and have decided to currently end my year and continue on with my life. She had pushed me to finish my beauty school which I did during May until August 7, 2015. The last requirements needed to gain my Cosmetology license would be taking both my practical and theory test. But I will be able to do it in the meantime and I know I will pass them both because with the knowledge and support of my family and friends nothing can obtain me from pursuing onto from accomplishing my life
This is my first semester in college. Being a new college student, I was very nervous about how college life went about and how I would manage school, work, and raising my child. Thankfully, this class is required for incoming students, or else I never would have thought to take it. Throughout this semester, I have learned more about myself, what I truly value, my personality type, my multiple intelligences, my learning style, and how these are all correlated to my long- term career goal.
As senior year of high school ends, many students are hit with the fact that life as an adult is about to start. We are all hit with the question of, What career choice are you going to make after you graduate? Half of us have no idea what career path we want to take. The other half already has everything planned out. After research and countless nights of thinking and self-talk, I know what career path I want to follow. Cosmetology is the career choice I have chosen to make after high school. There are a few steps I will need to take to get started.
Upon writing this paper I felt uncomfortable. I thought “how do I write about myself?” I thought this because at this point in my education I have yet to do so. This really made me think about who I am. Physically I have red hair, I am big, and tall. Some groups I associate with are the Athletes, academics, and my family. I am interested in plenty of things such as politics and reading. My personality is described as happy, fun, intelligent, loving, and caring. I also have a few things I am passionate about like education, science, independence, and friends. I am also defined by my job where I would describe myself as working, progressive, and patient. So, twenty words to describe me are; red-headed, big, tall, athletic, academics, family, politics, strong, happy, fun, intelligent, loving, caring, education, science, independent, friends, working, progressive, and patient.
