Time is Flying By.



Registering for Naviance and taking the personality and career quizzes really put things into perspective for me. Logging in to Naviance made me anxious and scared that I need to start getting serious about my future. I can't put it off for any longer. Time is flying by and I can't believe that I only have less than 2 years until I attend college. It's so weird to think how fast I'm growing up and I just want time to freeze for a while. I'm not extremely talented at any one particular subject. I want to do multiple things that I truly enjoy and still be able to support myself and my future family. A few subjects that I might be exploring are social services, occupations in media, and anything in the medical field. I enjoy helping others and it is something I want to do everyday for the rest of my life. One of the jobs that really stood out to me after I finished the career quiz is speech therapy, which is the treatment of speech defects and disorders, especially through use of exercises and audio-visual aids that develop new speech habits. It seems like something I might be interested in looking into and it also pays well which is a bonus.

  1. I agree, we are coming to our final stages in the process of growing up into adults. Things are getting serious and horribly real, but I know you can get through it as well. I hope whatever career path you will choose one day will work best for you, Mandy! But until then, don't stress yourself out too much. You have two years and then some. Good luck!

  2. I could see you doing something along the lines of speech therapy for sure! It actually sounds like a really interesting job too. It'd be nice to be able to work and help people at the same time! Definitely look at anything that involves social activity.

  3. I had the same feeling about naviance!! I could see you as a producer in the media, because of your capability to design intellectual products, but whatever path you take, I know you will be successful!
