Career Research-

Is This My Dream Career??

Without a great psychologist, people's lives would be depressed, and a great advice would help people solve their problems. The career that fit me the best is a psychology because I am a person who is open-minded and gives advice to others. I am a person who would like to be organized. Being a psychologist is a match for me: my personality, interest, skills, and aptitudes are well- suited for the requirements, qualifications, and work environment.

My personality was investigated and I learned about something new about myself that I did not know. I am a "rational"(Keirsey 4) person. I have values that explain a rational person. I like to stick to my plans until it works. That is reaching for my goals without stopping until I could make it. I would ask others what they want to do and also give my ideas too; "when planning mastermind is completely open-minded and will entertain any idea holding promise of utility" (Keirsy 4). Usually if I do not feel prepare, I usually worry.My interests are taking pictures, sociology, and law. My skills are taking care of children, listening, and talking and solving problems. My dad is a doctor and helps the internal and external of the body. Also my mom has a degree in law and literature. I believe I am mixed with their skills and interests. This is a relationship with law, literature (critical thinking), and medical activity.
The jobs that I found in the code were art director, psychiatrist, judge, sociologist, and many more these jobs are mostly in the communication, art, and critical thinking (Occupation Finder). Out of all the jobs that I have picked, I picked psychologist.
I have three goals that I want to reach for when I am working. Once I get my job, being successful is important so I know that I am doing well and I have achieved my goals on working. I could help others and do anything for a great purpose. I also think knowing what to do is important in a job because I do not want to get confused in what I am doing. I want to explain and tell people what I am doing in my own words. I want to do something that I am good at. Being secure is also my priority. In my life when I am working, there would be some ups and downs and if that keeps happening, that means that I am not stabled and secure at what I am doing. That is why I want to be secure so I could stay in a place and not move around.
The career I have researched was psychologist. They study about humans. Psychologist look through in "...physical, cognitive, emotional, or social aspects of human behavior" (Psychologist). Psychologist would collect the data they have researched on. Psychologist would help emotionally and mentally. They help clients to get used to their new environment and to prescribe medicine and perform surgery for the illness or injury (Psychologist). This is a great way to show my skills in helping others.Psychologist works in clinic, school, even in their office. They would make their own schedule and time too for working (Psychologist). They would experience pressure and this is because of the deadlines and tight schedules and overtimes (Psychologist). Sometimes psychologist gets interrupted frequently: "traveling may be required in order to attend conferences or conduct research" (Psychologist). This would also give pressure to psychologist.
Psychologist would need some qualification. Having a Bachelor’s degree qualifies you to attend university that provides doctoral training in "clinical, counseling, and school psychology as well as accrediting institutions that provides internships for doctoral students" (Psychologist) is in the American Psychologist Association. This is a place where you would get trained. There are different major field in psychology like "abnormal, clinical, comparative, development, educational, industrial, educational, motivational personality, and social"(Major Field). So there are many choices of fields in psychology that I could pick.Usually the places psychologist would get employed well are mental health and substance abuse centers (Psychologist). Middle level of employed psychologist is in public hospitals, clinic, correctional facilities, and other settings. Psychologist should be emotionally stable, mature, and able to deal effectively with people. "Master's degree in psychology requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate study" (Psychologist). They should be a good communicator and able to inspire other and leading others are usually important.Employments of psychologist are expected to "grow faster than average" (Psychologist) on the psychologist income, it really depends on what part you are working; private companies or clinic etc... Although there is a low salary, it is usually "$32,280" (Psychologist) or lower. If the person is working fine than it is usually "$64,460" (Psychologist) the highest 10 percent are more than $92,250 (Psychologist). I guess it just depends on what kind of field I would be doing and how well I would do as a psychologist.From the information I have revealed, it shows how I can relate to this job. The important thing is, if my goal is to be a psychologist, I have to reach for my first goal and it is to never stop trying your best in school that is how I could reach for my future goal. Never stop trying, don’t betray yourself in doing what you want.

Spiritual Goal

Character Goal


As the time and years past by, I noticed that sometimes my character is not stabled.

My character goal is to gain more confidents. “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on like eagles; they will run and not grow weary…” (NIV Isaiah 40:31). This means to gain strength and confidents and to spread out where ever you go. Just do what you think you want to do. Do not have second thoughts and feel insecure. Raise your voice. This is my goal. This would help me feel stronger and not make myself feel hurt inside my heart. To accomplish this goal, I should always think in the positive side and never look back. Even though I am having an uncertain feeling, I should try to let it out. This quote helps me to think freely like an eagle does; fly high. I believe I could over come this goal; to make my character better. To live with confidents is what I am looking for.

narrative poem

Nomad’s Life
A nomad has a nomad heart.
A heart of a nomad would be moving around exploring for true love.
Since a nomad doesn’t have a real home, a nomad would not know what an ordinary person lives like.
Nomads have their own traditions.
A nomad would not listen to their fast beating heart.
They don’t know what love really is.
A nomad’s heart is strong and does not want to be weak.
Inside of the strong nomad’s heart would be crying with flowing tears.
Nomad’s heart would be moving all over the place.
The heart would feel insecure at some times.



A nomad’s lifestyle is….
Following animals for food
Being cold.
Always making new shelter.
I am a modernized nomad.
I move from places to places rather than settling down.
I have no real home.
You might ask where my hometown is but I don’t have any.
I lived in many different places.
I have never stopped moving around.
It seems like a tradition for me.
This started when I was born.
I was born in a place where I could hear country music.
The place where they have the best BBQ ribs.
Later I go to a place where there is an ocean and a white house.
That is the only thing I remember.
Then I moved to a warm tropical island.
Every weekend you could see the waves crashing to shore at the beach.
You can feel the sun shining on you.
The breeze cooling your hot sweat.
I moved to a city where neon lights all over the place.
I had to breathe deeply because of the pollution.
I feel like I moved all around the world.
I know I will be moving again sometime from now.
I just don’t know when.
I was born as nomad.

Wild Karaoke Time

Grab all of your friends so you won’t feel forsaken.
Your Karaoke time will be intoxicating with them.
Get more friends to join in too.
The more friends the more energy there is.

Search for the foremost Karaoke place.
Don’t get it too expensive or cheap just a right amount of money.
Get a dark mirror light room where the color of the lights goes around you.
Red, blue, green, and white making you feel dizzy every times it goes around.

Adjust the furniture so there would be enough space for you to jump.
Jumping makes every thing pumped up.
Goodbye to the sitting and singing posture.

Fish for the music you want to sing.
There are jillions of songs in the song book.
Punched the number of the song and saved them with the remote.
Save loads of music in the machine.

Attract the microphone to your palm.
Turn the microphone on.
Sing into the microphone.

If you can’t sing it is most likely to roar the song out.
It is still entertaining to do.
It doesn’t sound horrible either.
Maybe it does.
Just imagine like you are in a heavy metal band.
You are the singers!

While you’re singing or blasting the song, jump up and down.
Bounce in front of the Karaoke screen where you would see the lyrics of the music.
That is when you start your own “Karaoke party”.
And now you get wild and out of control.

Maybe once you get out of control you might just dance around.
Bob your head, swish your hair up and down side to side.
If there is no hair on you it is ok.
Just move clown around.
You will still be all over the place.
This would also relieve your stress.

Hate the music then change the music.
It is best to use a hyper fast music.
Like Rock or Rap.
Well Rap would be hard to sing, it gets annoying.
If you don’t like that type of music and like pop that is fine.
All types of music are acceptable.

Heals Completes Us


You find the right heels to wear on your feet
It is a top brand heel and every girl wants one
So they could deform their precious feet

Pink, black, and orange all kinds of color that makes a girl complete
Your want all of it but you buy none
Heels stabs and reddens the bottom of your feet

Smiling in the magazine a model shows a Manolo Blank heel with her stinky feet
She wants all but cannot afford any she got none
The stinky feet was made by her heat

Heels could beat your feet
Girls can’t resist buying heels that are auctioned
They don’t care how much it hurts their feet

If you want an eye catching adorable feet
Just buy one and try putting them on
Don’t forget your just accessorizing your feet

You are putting bruises on your feet
Pretty heels make your day go on
I bet you want to walk bare feet.

Shining bright golden shimmer. Levity made

The sun burns and is unbearable. The suns a mighty

White Blank

There is a white blank in you head
The brain doesn’t seem to blink
No image is forming in your head
You want to think

The brain doesn’t seem to blink
Your try to think but your about to break out
You want to think
Tik-tok-tik- tok you are waiting for an idea to pop out

You try to think but you’re about to break out
Your brain feels numb you might feel crushed
Tik- tok–tik-tok you are waiting for an idea to pop out
Swoosh you have been brained washed

Your brain feels numb that you might feel crushed
Maybe you can’t concentrate you might have chagrin
Swoosh you have been brained washed
Your brain is a machine and it isn’t plugged in

Maybe you can’t concentrate you might have chagrin
The screeching noise of the chalkboard
Your brain is a machine and it isn’t plugged in
Now you are bored

The screeching noise of the chalkboard
The brain doesn’t seem to blink
Now you are bored
There is a white blank in your head

Preface

I usually do my work at class and I never get great ideas for my poem. So later I thought about my daily life routine and noticed, that I can be writing about this. Like when I can’t think about any good ideas. So I wrote about how you would feel while brainstorming and how frustrated your feel trying to think about something. Some of my poems are from my life events like, when I was wearing my favorite heels. My feet were in pain and I felt desperate of taking my heels off. These kinds of things that happed to my life are what I wrote about. I know that it could relate to some people. I try to do my best by showing expression and scenes to describe how it feels or what it is like. The most inspired work is “White Blank”. It is because every time I’m in my English class, I can’t think of anything to write about. The people who inspired me the most are the people around me. This is because the way we live is so common that nobody notice about it. The events are everyday situation. Our environment is important to us so I wrote about that too. I wrote about when season changes people change too. I value in my writing process was life our environment. How people has different taste of having fun.
In the 6 trait of writing, I have learned a lot. For ideas, you would lean that you have to make you poem clear and focused in one topic. It should also be concise. The idea should show an understanding about your topic. It should be well identified when your write about something. It should give images to you when you read it.
The convention is usually to see if you have any grammar errors are there or if there is anything wrong with your sentence. If it is appropriate for the audience. Is it formatted correctly? If your sentence show the images to you when you read it. If it grabs the reader’s attention.
The organization is really important. Your poem should be understood by each step you make. When you are writing a poem the next sentence should smoothly move on to another subject for your topic. To make your poem easy to understand there should be an guide to show the main ideas. There should be creativity to show understanding. It should be compelling and strong and a satisfying ending.
Your voice is to compel the people when they hear the poem. To make them want to share it with other people aloud. It should show passion and honesty. It should show a confident voice when people are reading it. It should be balanced with personal touch.
The words you pick are your word choice. The word choice should be good. To show the enthusiasm and the energy about a topic. The right words would help your poem to become compelling and suits the audience to read it. It should be distinctive and make a balance in the poem.The sentence fluency should be smooth. To make your poem easy to read. For an enhancing voice. To make your sentence structure meaningful and readable. No run –on no problems for people to see. To have the correct key points to your poem.

I would like to dedicate this to
my loveable mommy who was

I tried making him think a lot.

Definition essay

Students
What makes a studious student? They are not students who just study. Studious students are “adaptive learners” (Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook) who learn to be an “ethical and critical thinker” (Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook). We listen; get information from teachers and books. “Students urge and explore new ideas.”(Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook)
We research and present the ideas and concept in a written form, which is a “concise communication.” (Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook) Over all, we are always challenging our self and our goals so we could be in a right path towards the future; which is a “quality producer.”(Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook)Students could be in all ages, from a kid to a teenager to an adult. Students know that something surprising is going to happen through their lives.

Students are people who work hard. In the student’s mind they know that they work hard, but they don’t actually know how accelerating they are. Students are intellectual and the knowledge in the student’s mind keeps on growing. Let’s start from kindergarten. In kindergarten we learned just a handful of ideas, but as we grow older we learn more, and we would get more amount of work in school. We would feel tired, but it does not make us want to quite all of are hard work are spirit are high and we would work until we become the best .The more work we do the more we understand our skills. As our level in school gets higher, we adapt into more difficult stages. Students know what they are doing is tough, but later they get adapted into the harsh school environment.
1
Students can change and approach toward the environment easily. We know the importance of playing and working, and also we accept and deal with our success and failure; this is like discipline for us.
What is our purpose to be a student; just to study and have no fun? No! We study hard and have fun at the same time because we have a jeopardize goal. Dreaming is the privilege through our life. We go to school to accomplish our goal. Student would be challenged to grab their goal in their hands because they have greater value of scenes than their conceived surrounding environment. Students could do anything to let them selves go through the open doors of real life. Their purpose is to get an education so they could develop and use their knowledge continuously for their entire life. Also students would never give up in school because they know that there is something special waiting for them. It doesn’t matter what steps we take because everything is a challenge and if we made a false move we would learn what went wrong. Our goal is always in our head just before we study and learn about new information. The clues we get from teachers are tiny steps toward our goal. Learning the clues is why we are in school right now. Students are preparing for the future.
The reason why we are here, the reason why we were born into a student is for the future. The future is in our hands. Students never think about the historical past, but always think about the present and future. The present and future is what has influenced us to get an idea of our goal. The future is why we are students. Since we learn interesting and new information, we know what we should do with it. Students get more attention from others than the people who are now working successfully. Students gets updated
2
data than the elders because all the experiences that happened with the elders which is from the past makes students work smoothly. Student’s expectations are highbut the future makes us think higher. Students are the creators of making a new world. Also students are the main character in the story of life. Students would feel prepared after they go to school.
Students work hard and practice with new equipments and try their best to get a good grade. We know that what we are learning is a good benefit for our future. We would show good expectation from others and want our goals to be challenging. We are “adaptive learners”, “quality producers,” (Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook) and the center of attention to the future. Student would use their “ethical and critical” (Taejon Christian International School High school Handbook) mind to read for their goal. Being a student is why there are so many expectations. Students are great observers and listener. We would think and process our idea to present it in a way that makes people shocked and make it into something remarkable. Our mind and knowledge is always growing and learning.

Process Essay

How to Reboot the Computer

What quality does the computer have makes people addicted to it? The reasons are usually to chat, to e-mail, to get international news, and to type a report. People who use the computer include students, teachers, presidents, secretaries, and etc practically the whole population uses the computer, but the first thing we need to do before using the computer is to reboot the computer. Some people would have difficulties to reboot the computer. Some people have trouble finding the temptation reboot button in the modem and monitor. So, how do we reboot the computer? There are some simple steps that you would have to follow and it is easy and fast.
First, find an attractive computer that is available. Don’t forget your fingers because they are important for this process. Elementary students can find free, good quality computers in the school’s computer lab. Don’t go to a computer that is already being used by another person. The only equipment you need is your beautiful, lovely fingers, which shock the computers which would motivate the computer to reboot and your nerdy brain.
Next, find a soft, comfortable chair around your area and put it in front of the computer. So you could see the monitor when seated. The chair has to be close enough so that you could reach the keyboards and type. The chair should have back with cushion so you could stay in your chair for a long time. This is optional.
Look at the modem. If you don’t know what a modem is, it is a machine that looks like a silver rectangular box. It usually stands right beside your leg or under the monitor. As you see on the modem there is a button that beckons you to push the button. The button is always tempts you to press it. The button is usually circular and is always in front of the modem. The button has a sign means power. The power sign looks like a hoop with a line in the middle which displays the reboot sign. Make sure not to press the reboot sign too hard or else, the button turns into a flat plane which would make the button deformed and disabled to start.
Furthermore look at the monitor. On the monitor, there is a button on the bottom right. It is a square shaped button with the same power sign like the modem button. Be careful! You might press the wrong button. Place your finger on the button with the sign on it and push it gently. Now, your will turn screen on.
Now, the process is all finished and the only thing you need to do is to sit back and relax and wait for the computer to load on. Chat, surf on the internet, or type a report; anything you want on the helpable computer it would give you a ride to the network. You find the handy dandy computer, sit on your comfy chair, and use your helpful fingers and brain for your equipment to press the modem and monitor. This process makes the innocent Elementary who don’t know how to reboot the computers, easily learn how even with their eyes closed. This is significant and difficult for people to press the reboot button.
