Recommended: Importance of choosing the right career

In my history class we did a project called dream-a-dream. In this project we had to type a couple of paragraphs about what we wanted to be in the future and we had to find pictures in magazines . I chose a firefighter or a professional baseball player. I chose firefighter because I get to save people from fires and maybe their house too, also I heard that firefighters get paid a lot. I chose to be a baseball player because I have been playing this sport for nine years and I am actually really good at the sport. My favorite position to play is pitcher because all of the attention is on me. The teacher told us to type about what you wanted to be in the future, find some pictures on what you want to be, and have it done with in 2 weeks. The expectation was to have it done neatly and when he said it was due. This assignment relates to an alien project I did in science. It relates only because it was a project. The point of this assignment was to know what you want to be in the future. For an A on the assignment you had to finish it on time, and do it neatly. …show more content…

It took me about 3 days just to find pictures in magazines for a baseball player and for a firefighter. The decisions I made were putting the pictures on the right side of the paper and the paragraphs on the left side of the paper. I spent about a week on this assignment. I completed most of the work at school since my teacher gave us the whole class period to work on it, but when the period was over I was working on it at home. To be successful on this assignment I had to know what I wanted to be in the future and do all of the work correctly. I expected to do okay on the assignment but I did better than I thought I

  • Why do I want to be an Area Officer

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    Why do I want to be an area officer? While these words are not exactly the same as previous essay prompts I have been given, they all share the same idea; “Why do I want to be a leader”? Looking back at my old responses they are all focused on similar concepts; I wanted to be a leader because of the friendships, traveling and meeting new people, building better leadership skills, learning how to better communicate with people, and acquiring life skills, such as patience, teamwork, organization, and dedication. While all of these things have some importance, they should never be the reason someone wants to be a leader. When I wrote these I thinking about how to better myself, rather than how to help others. I was thinking selfishly. At the time I didn’t know what it truly meant to be a leader, to be willing to sacrifice myself for others. Even while I am still young and have much to learn, I finally understand why I want to be a leader and what a true leader should look like. I would like the opportunity to serve as a 2014-2015 Area Officer, so that I can better serve the FFA, my fellow members, and ultimately my world.
