Career Cruising

My short term goals are just to try and do well in all my courses and preferebly work towards my career such as getting volunteer jobs towards the job I want. My long term goals are to get into a a good University that offers the program that I want. At this point, I'm not sure where I want to go but I do know that I would want to go somewhere that actually teaches me things I need to know. I also want to get a job that helps me get closer to my career. I know I wont be able to get a career right away after school so I would atleast try to have a stable job that allows me to pay for living and studies. The education I need to achieve my goals come from both highschool and post secondary. I need to know how draft and use the computer effectively. I will also need math and physics. Other than that, it would be really useful to take a class that is more creative so that I can have a more broad education. As of now I'm not sure what school I want to go to and I don't mind whether it is out of the country or not as I am able to adapt. Like I've said before, it doesn't bother me what school I go to as long as they can provide a good program. In grade 11 and 12, I'm planning on taking Pre-Calculus and Drafting and Design as this will help me a lot. I'm also considering taking an arts class and a science. To help me even more, I've decided to take a trades program for Drafting. For volunteer options, there is not much for me wanting to be an Interior Decorator, although I will try working and volunteering anywhere I can, preferebly in an office so that I can understand how it feels to be at a desk and organize things. To achieve my goals I will need to save up a lot of money for University, get a job or volunteer and study hard! Some potential challenges I may face in achieving my goals, are not doing well in studies, not getting into the University I want or having trouble finding a job but I'll never stop trying to achieve my goal in the end. Too meet these challenges, I'd try working even harder at school, my job or whatever else I will need to continue achieving my goal. As of now, I know that I want to start post-secondary right after high school because I don't want to wait to long and miss out on opportunites. Depending on how long post-secondary is I might go for farther studies and hopefully get a great job that I can turn into my career someday. Over the next few years I will monitor my success by paying attention to my studies and actually being more mature about what I want to do and hopefully this will help me plan out my future!
