My Career Choices

Improved Essays
“What career to choose when there are so many things that interest me?” I would always ask myself this since I wanted to do and be everything. I became very indecisive because of all the potential there was. I figured I had to be a little more realistic, so I decided to choose my top three careers and then go from there. My top three career choices are to be a teacher, an actress, and a cinematographer. Becoming a teacher has always been something I’ve kept in mind for a career choice because teaching will always be necessary, and teaching is something I feel I would enjoy doing. My parents have always instilled the importance of having an education. School always came first. As I grew up I realized how crucial an education was in order to …show more content…
Art has been a great way of expressing one self for centuries. I’m not trying to sound crazy here, but expressing myself through different characters is really satisfying-- characters I have little to nothing in common with, yet the feelings remain feelings. For instance, I might not have something in common with the character, but the feeling of anger, betrayal, sadness-- those feelings I recognize in me and can let them out through a character. This is something I find very beautiful. Additionally, having a career in acting would be like being paid for play. Not that acting is easy because it isn’t, but it’s so exciting and interesting that it wouldn’t feel like a routine kind of job. Every day would be different, and everyday I would learn something …show more content…
My love for movies started ever since I was a little girl. My dad would always bring a movie when he came back from grocery shopping. He would shout, “Movie time!”, and I would rush to the living room while my dad started the popcorn. As I grew up, movies were something I would use when reality became annoying and needed a little break. Moreover, creating is really important for me and my sanity. I remember begging my mom to buy me a camera when I was about 9, She had one of her own but it recorded on a cassette. Whenever my friends would stay over I would create short films with them. It was so much fun. Just the thought that anything I filmed had never been filmed before ,and now was kept forever in a cassette. In essence, movies and creating are something I hold very close and therefore cinematography is a career I think about a

    Personally, I think my constant strive to be better at what I love to do says a lot about me and shows my determination. My parents have always said the talent will only get you so far and that hard work and dedication is what will get you all the way. Being a part of theater for about 5 years now has also taught me a lot about empathy and working as a team. Learning how to embody and live as someone else for just a little while has made me a more empathetic person outside of the theater and made me more understanding to those who live differently than I do or have different beliefs and values. Rehearsing and performing with the same group of people for 4 weeks to even a few months can bring people quite close.…

    I have always had a love of the arts, but it wasn't until I was a munchkin in The Wizard of Oz that I knew I wanted to be an actor. Up until that point, I had just wanted to sing, but being up on that stage made me want to do musicals for the rest of my life. But what really made me want to pursue musical theatre was that it has been the only way for me to truly express my emotions. When I was younger, I was made fun of as a little kid. So when I was in the Sound of Music, I was surrounded by a company that loved me, and I loved them.…

    I want to entertain; knowing that I can make people happy with what I can create, with what I say and what I do makes all the difference to me. As a child, I loved theatrical performances with all my heart, funny improv games and shows with my little sister helped test our creative outlets. I also played with musical skills picked up thanks to my father; the way songs can audibly represent emotions, settings, even complete stories fascinated me. So, I set out on a mission to create and to make and experience everything I could to be involved with art in general. I performed in our middle school select choir and the three play productions in my time there as well, because I could see that it made people happy to be included or involved, either watching or performing.…

    Since I’ve to Minnesota, I have gone with my roommate to his church several times. Back home, church was of vital to my family as my great grandfather started and still is the pastor of his own church, to which we all are apart of.

I also have a small group of friends who I crochet and knit with from time to time. I enjoy this because my grandmother taught my siblings and I how to crochet as a stress relief activity and it reminds me of patience and focus and how beautiful item can be built out of them.…

I have always connected with younger kids over high school or middle school children, which is why I chose to major in Early Childhood Education.

Many kids are ignored at home or even bullied at home and I want to make all those children feel wanted and to know that someone is there for them and truly does care about them.…
