Basic Skills Survey

Introduction:

Recently I have been about a career that I would like to pursue because soon i will be heading to high school. In Ms. Pennington’s english class I have been looking at possibilities on cfnc.org. One of my goals for this paper is to learn about myself through my survey. As a second goal I would like to look at careers that match my results. Finally I hope that my paper will help me realize and accept things about myself that I can work on or change.

Survey Results:

My Basic skills survey showed what skills I am strongest and weakest at. My strongest area is learning strategies. My weakest area was critical thinking. I like how the survey shows what careers that I am best suited for according to my skills. This survey also

This survey also focuses on my personality traits and favorite subject area’s. After I took the survey my results showed that I scored well in Law and Technology & Communications clusters.

Career Choice:

After taking into consideration all of my career options I have decided that I want to be an Obstetrician. I have chose this because I love helping people and making them happy. Some of the tasks that I will be responsible for doing is performing regular ultrasounds and post-natal/post-partum care and delivery.

To go more in depth about what I will be doing on a day to day basis is monitoring my patient’s results. I will also teach students, direct and coordinate the activities of nurses, assistants, specialists, therapists and other medical staff. I will also collect data and medical history and use that data while examining my patient.

I feel this career will be very important by the time I am ready to work. I feel this way because while women are pregnant the health of them and their baby needs to be insured. The average salary for an employed Obstetrician in the Greensboro area is $215,000 a year.

Plan for High

By that I mean I want them to teach me how to take care of myself and other people. I will continue allstar cheerleading and probably try out for lacrosse but I am not sure that I will participate in any school sports. I am planning on having a high G.P.A. so that I can get into a great college. I haven’t really focused on any scholarships except for a sports one, but I will look into other options.

Some extracurricular activities that I plan on doing is going to an Obstetrician’s office and getting a feel for what I will be doing daily.

Plan for College:

The college’s that have the Obstetrics/Gynecology program are Duke University and UNC Chapel Hill. I am leaning more towards Chapel Hill. The degrees that I will need to be working towards are undergraduate then on to my bachelor’s degree. After I earn those I will have to complete at least four years of residency. While I’m earning all of these degrees it will take me about twelve years to complete all of my studies.

While attending college I will be living on campus. My plan on paying for college is my parents have an account set up for me but I also plan on looking at scholarships to help out. These scholarships will help depending on what’s available. For example when I’m a Junior in high school I will be very interested in money that I don’t have to pay back.
