Deciding to go to college was not easy. I was planning to opt for Cosmetology school. I had a great passion for hair and makeup. I have colored my own hair, gave many of my friend's highlights and I gave my mom bangs. My plan was to work in my favorite hair salon De La Mer for five years, save up enough money and then open up my own beauty salon. My parents were not on board with my plan. As I was getting my makeup done for graduation, my makeup artist began to tell me how she wishes she had gone to college, she said she had taken the easy route out of high school and that she was planning on going to school. She said that this work requires too much labor and that it was not worth it. In her first two years she loved her job, but then …show more content…
I did not have the best experience in school, I always struggled and I wasn’t the smartest. I knew that there was no other choice because I needed a college degree to get a good job to make good money. There are very limited things that one can do with a high school diploma. I contemplated going to beauty school, but my parents thought I had much more potential, and that it would go to waste. I realized very late that it college is very expensive. I received scholarships from various private schools which covered only two-thirds of the tuition. My dad was not permitting me to take loans. Because of the Excelsior scholarship and because I was rejected by Farmingdale, I decided that I was going to attend Old Westbury. I began to search through the list of programs they had to offer. I went over the list twice to see if I missed anything that could potentially interest me. Criminology struck my attention. I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but I suddenly grew curious to find out. I did my research and I was very fascinated with what I had learned. So I thought that it would be fun to study crime and criminal behavior because in a way it would …show more content…
This is very true, even my parents have strongly urged me to pursue a career in the medical field. I wish that they had noticed from my grades in high school, that I was not cut out to be the doctor. I watched Grey's Anatomy, I saw how medical school and how residency was basically hell. I knew I was not smart enough, and on top of that my weakest subjects were math and science which are basically the fundamentals of medicine. Happiness is not something that everyone wants to achieve, but it is something very difficult to have when trying to keep others happy. To keep my parents happy, I had to move on from the idea of majoring in criminology. I will have to make the most ethical decision to keep my parents happy, despite how I feel. Right before the semester began I had to make sure I had all my required vaccines, so I paid a visit to my pediatrician. She was happy to see me and we conversated about the upcoming fall. She asked me what my plans for college were. I told that I had planned to study criminology, but that my parents had not approved. She said that I should consider physical therapy, that many young people were going into the field and that the salary was great. I told her how I didn’t want to do anything related to medicine or science. She told me that there wasn’t much science involved, that was a lie. Before I left she had asked me to just think about it. Later
“Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty” (the daily quotes) If you have ever been unhappy about your appearances remember, it is a very familiar problem every human faces. Cosmetology was created to help those that are in need of their desired look. To express every moment was second of who they are or will become to be. Even though, we have abundant stylist today throughout the country. This career may not be the most satisfying, fun, or even a high-ranking in income, but the satisfaction of each smile is more than enough. However, challenging cosmetology is one of the most creative of all art.
Mrs. Roth started working as a cosmetologist in 2009, so she has 8 years of experience.
A survey certified that average women spend about $13,000 on makeup in her life time. Not only that, but also spend 300 hours applying it. Beauty tends to increase the self esteem of women, they think more positive of themselves. Along with that like anything else cosmetology has revolutionized throughout the years. Cosmetology has played an important role in lives of women, it does not only represent beauty, but also self confidence.
The reasons I have chosen Bella Capelli, a Paul Mitchell Partner School for my cosmetology education are the high quality and integrity of both the products and the people I have met that have attended a Paul Mitchell school. Bringing in artists from all over the country to teach classes, reaching out to the less fortunate, and helping their students build a client list are some reasons I love Paul Mitchell. I believe Bella Capelli truly sets their students up for success.
There are many different types of careers in the cosmetology field. The different types are; hairstylist, perm or hair color specialist, manicurist, pedicurist, barber, or esthetician. Anyone can major in one of these careers, multiple ones, or all of them. It doesn't matter how many they major in, they will still be considered a cosmetologist. To get a major in cosmetology, it is required to take a class in the career you are interested in. A typical cosmetology training program typically lasts nine months to about a year. Students are instructed on hair styling and cutting, scalp treatments, hair color, manicures and pedicures, chemical texture services, acrylic nail application, massages, facials, and eyebrow shaping. A student then takes advanced courses to expand their knowledge in this career. These courses may include studies on scalp disorders and diseases, scalp analysis, color application techniques, hair cutting tools, main principles of hair design, hair removal, massage techniques and benefits, cosmetology law and safe work practice. Once the course is finished, including service hours, the person then has to take and pass a state exam on the course. Once the exam is passed, the person then receives their certificate.
It all began my freshman year of high school when I was told about elective classes that would help me decide what I wanted to be when I grew up. I always had a passion for doing hair, make-up, and nails so that was easy for me to choose an elective. My freshman and sophomore year I decided I would take cosmetology classes. I would spend two hours each day of school in the cosmetology lab, which was always cold and smelled like hairspray, burnt hair from the straighteners or a strong acetone smell that someone gets a whiff of at a nail salon. We learned so much material and I had a good time practicing my skills on manikins and other classmates. One thing I didn’t enjoy was the gossip and drama, but of course one would expect that from a class
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.
Coming out of my senior high school was one of the most difficult tasks I 've been given up to this point in my life. I was overwhelmed, excited, sad, busy, and uncertain of the near impending future. The past 13 years of my life I had been studying, practicing, playing, and working my way towards a brighter future. I could see the future in front of me, it was as if I could reach out and touch it. It was almost like getting a shot at the doctors, I knew it was what was best for me but I was terrified anyway. But I pushed aside my fears and on August 8, 2015, I set foot on a college campus, my home for the next four years. I knew why I was there though; I came to college in order to channel the love I have for my country into the motivation necessary to take the next step up the ladder towards a constitutional law degree, a degree I’ll use to protect this country and the people who reside in it. But to truly understand why I came to college, I have to start at the beginning.
Our parents constantly remind us that becoming a doctor, a lawyer, or any job that would benefit you is always the right career path to take. In fact, according to researchers from Association of American Medical Colleges, revealed that only 21,030 of the 53,042 students who applied to get into medical school are accepted, that is roughly 40% of the students and the other 60% get rejected. But yet, our parents does not understand that these professions they wished upon us have the littlest to no interest towards many young individuals. This is evident in The Boat by Alistair MacLeod, which tells us that many adolescents have been shut down without a proper statement about our future, this is because our future was either influenced by our parents
Anyone that has ever experienced a really good hair treatment or a relaxing manicure can tell you that it makes a really big difference. Feeling good and confident about the way you look can help you in the long run. Making people feel confident about themselves will also make you feel like a better person inside and out. This is why for my career I chose to be a cosmetologist. Being a cosmetologist is not all about the way you can do things but how you make other people feel.
She attempted to get me to switch my minor to business or language, even though I made it clear I had no interest in either subject. This was a big deal to me because I usually do everything my mother asks without putting up much resistance. This was the only time I did something that was just for me. I’m glad I did not switch. Drawing 1 was one of the hardest classes I ever took. I had to sleep in the studio just to have enough time to finish my artwork, as did all of my classmates. The entire class of about twenty people became close, a result of spending every meal together. I learned how to be friendly in this class, and my awkwardness from high school evaporated. Even though I loved Drawing 1, I still wanted to make my career in the
I am currently in the academy for the Department of Corrections to become a correction officer while I am the process for being in the New York Police Department. But let me tell you how I got to this point of applying for the prestigious program at John Jay College. I have dyslexia. Because of this learning disability, I was told that I was not going to make it. People told me that maybe criminal justice was not for me because I was not performing well in remedial math. However, I did not have a plan B. My plan was to get a career in criminal justice, and I made this happen while I was transferring from my two-year school to go to John Jay College. While I was at John Jay, I had to work twice as hard to keep up with my classmates. My effort
I was taking my time with my decision and my parents were not happy that I was home instead of joining college. They then asked me to take A-Levels in law and business which I reluctantly agreed to in order to please them and get them off my back. Shortly after enrolling, I realized I found law really tough but I was determined to not waste my parents money so I persevered on. Fast-forward two years later, Im still trying to pass my Law papers. Finally I decided to tell my parents that I could not do this course anymore and they agreed. So for the next few months I was evaluating all my options on what to next. I decided to enroll myself in Help University Foundation in arts program because I felt it was a program that I could excel in could lead me to a degree in Accounting & Finance which is my goal. As an extra incentive for me achieve my goal, I paid for part of my fees when I enrolled in order to keep me motivated and
I have always felt the pressure to know what I want to become. At age five they started asking us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?,” at that point in time I wanted to be a prin-cess. However, when I got older I realized I live in America and it does not work that way. I de-cided freshman year that I wanted to be a cosmetologist, but realized that is not very stable and does not come with much of a retirement. Therefore, once I reach my sophomore year of high school I had become interested in psychology. I have spent two years now looking into fields of psychology and now I have finally decided on something I believe will make me happy. Know-ing what you want to be as an adult is a topic everyone worries about from a young age, that
I went into high school with the idea that I was going to be an architect because that is what my dad wanted me to do. It seemed like an okay choice, and it pays exceptionally well. Plus no one wants to let their parents down. So even though I was not too sure if that is what I truly wanted to do I did not have any other career paths in mind. At Lafayette High School there is an engineering class and an architecture class. I signed up for them because that is the best way to get a better understanding of what that job was really all about. When I told my parents that I signed up for this class my father was so excited. It did not take long for me to realize I was not enjoying the engineering class, I found it boring and too easy. I did not find anything about this class interesting. So the second I found out I could drop the class at midterm, that is exactly what I did. I stayed in the architecture class for the whole year because I enjoyed drawing up the blueprint of a house but no matter how much I enjoyed that artistic side of architecture I knew it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So I told my built up the nerv...
