Reflection On Strong Interest Inventory

Improved Essays
After taking the strong interest inventory test my number one occupation was a speech pathologist. This really caught my attention and I thought about it more and it seemed like something I would definitely be interested in doing. I enjoy working with people and helping people, so I believe this would fit me well. I also want to get my PHD at some time and this is an occupation that can satisfy that. I went on the Butler website and saw the requirements for a CSD major and looked for classes I could observe. I found one class that was at the 400 level, but was not able to observe it, so I ended up observing a class that was at the 100 level and is a required class for the major. The class I observed is Introduction to Communication Sciences and Disorders. The title explains it all and this seems like a perfect class to get a feel for what I would be learning about on a higher level and just what the major is about in general.
The content of the class for the day I went was learning about red flags when trying to diagnose a child and different assessments. This would be very helpful for someone

The content that was being taught was interesting and made me want to learn more. It was a longer class, but it did not feel longer than any of my fifty minute classes. I think it kept my attention. I would definitely consider taking other classes relating to this topic and major. I am strongly considering majoring in CSD, as I am very interested in what it has to offer. The class was a good indicator of what it would be like and I am up for that. I am going to look in to classes required for this major and take some more, which hopefully I will enjoy and end up with a major in CSD. This makes me extremely excited, since I did not think I would ever find anything to major in. Now I feel like I have more of an idea about what I want to do in the

    Halfway through my first semester at UCF, I feel a lot less optimistic than I did when first starting out. As a starry-eyed freshman, I was determined to do my absolute best, but I’ve somehow lost sight of that goal along the way, preferring to binge-watch Japanese shows, write song lyrics, avoid doing laundry, and order things I really don’t need from eBay. Since I find that extremely entertaining, it’s also become quite obvious that my sense of humor has deteriorated to nothing. However, I have still managed to achieve most of my more concrete academic goals, such as maintaining my GPA and choosing a major.…

    One the most significant things that I learned in introduction to human services this semester was that everyone experiences situations differently, what might be something unimportant and minor to you might be a trigger for someone else. You should always be mindful of others, I think us as human beings we tend to be a bit selfish and like to think that the world revolves around us. Which, is ridiculous because the world has 7.3 billion people and counting, and what makes me more significant than all those other people? Sometimes I’ll go out to the store in a hurry and I’ll get a line with a cashier that is being extremely slow, and I get upset and start thinking of some nasty things about the cashier, without ever taking into consideration what that person might be going through.…
