76 days to go

I am a Junior so i have already taken the CAHSEE. I have passed both english and math. Preparing for the CAHSEE wasn't hard but it wasn't easy. I didn't go to tutoring or the saturday workshops. But i payed attention during class, and did the assignments. But i still need to prepare, better than i did for the CAHSEE, for the CST's.
To be ready to take this test, I will study, and pay attention in class. I will also go to tutoring. I will do all of the review worksheets I get. Paying attention in class will also be the best thing to do. My goal is to get at least proficient on all of my CST test. I have a feeling i will achieve this goal.

Career Reflection

The home and car search had a major affect on me. It made me realize that to have the kind of life style I want I am gonna have to make some changes. Although I had over $1,000 left, I dont think this would cover my family needs. I would be happier if I had more money left over.
My house is a bit pricey, so I could probably find another house that is the same size but a cheaper price. I plan on having kids after I have settled down and could support them. So i would need at least a three bedroom house. Im sure I could find a pretty house in Huntington Beach that is cheaper than $579,000. Doing this would save me alot of money. The houses here didn't surprise me that much. I expected them to be pretty high in price. Some of them are way to much though.
Also my car is way too expensive. I could probably get a used one for less that the actual price. And if I can't find a used Range Rover for the right price I will just have to look for a whole different car that I could afford. I could most likely afford around the prince range of $25,000 and not $65,000. This project made me realize that I cant get everything thing I want, but if I get cheaper things car and house, then iIcould probably live the kind of life style I want.

My Thoughts So Far...

The two things that interest me the most are very different. One thing that i like to do is to take care of people in need. This interests me because i would like to know why they need taken care of and i would enjoy taking care of them. Another thing that interest me is Photography. I love to look at pictures, and take them to.

One career i chose was a Mental Health Nurse. I chose this career because like i said, i like taking care of people and figuring out how I could help them. This career would be very interesting, learning about all the different kind of sicknesses. Trying to help the patient overcome that sickness would mean alot to that patient and me. I thought I wouldn't like to be a Mental Health Nurse but because of the career assessment it made me realize that i would be good at it.

The second career I chose is a Director of Photography. I have always wanted to be a Photographer, but i never knew what kind. When i took the assessment it gave me the option of a Director of Photography. I love to take pictures, but thinking of how i could set up the whole stage for a movie and having everyone see it would be extremely exciting. I think I would be very successful in this career.

With the information that the career assessment gave me, i have planed out what i should do to be successful at one of these careers. I will take the classes that the jobs require, like health, and photography. After I've made up my mind I will apply to different colleges, and see where i get an acceptance to. I will go to college and get a job of the career I have chosen.
