Personal Narrative: My Five Career Clusters

Introduction

The results of my personal inventory turned out to be not very surprising. My five career clusters are the following: Professional Support Services, Teaching and Training, Therapeutic Services, Counseling and Mental Health Services, and Administrative and Administration Support. I was not surprised when I saw these career clusters because they each involve helping people.
