My MBTI Personal Statement

When I first arrived at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, I had a few ideas in mind about what I wanted to do with my life after graduating. There were a few different careers I had and still have interest but I did not know what career would fit me best. I was not too stressed about it, considering that I narrowed it down to a couple ideas. From taking this course, my goal was to figure out what I want to pursue in my future career or careers. I wanted to figure out which direction would be better for me. There were a few myths that I also learned about from this course. I thought my future career had to match my college major.

My Holland Code was SIC, which stands for being social, investigative, and conventional. Enterprising was also a close third place. After receiving this code, I found the careers that fit the most were along the lines of Education. I was debating about going into Education before coming to college so when I figured it fit my personality; it made me push to find out more about Education.

I also plan to maybe ask her a few more questions about what it is really like to be a teacher and a coach. As far as Criminal Justice, I plant to do some more ride-alongs with my aunt over the summer. The first time I did one it made me more interested. Although she said it was a “boring” day, I still thought it was interesting. After realizing where my interests fall at this point, I plan to join some clubs on campus such as the Student Wisconsin Education Association and Criminal Justice Association. I cannot wait to learn more about my future in
