3. Who Am I?
• Who am I? I think that my personality definitely shows and tells who I am
as a person. I have the personality to help people and guide people through
things. I like to get to know people, and have friends with so many different
personalities. I have a really strong outgoing personality, and I think that
the careers that I have chosen in these slides, explain my personality more.
They describe me and what I want to do. I want to get to know people in
different ways, and try to understand why they are doing what they are
doing and figure out how to help them in any way possible. The careers
describe my personality because they all have some aspect of helping
others, and doing good for the community.

4. Lifestyle Choices- Goals
• My lifestyle choices are different from 10 years to 5 years to the
next year.
• In 10 years, I want to be graduated from High School, and
College. I want to be somewhere in Law Enforcement, or Teaching.
I want to own my own house, have a family, and a car. Possibly
married, and kids maybe.
• In 5 years, I will be in College getting a degree. Maybe a small job
part time, but focusing on school for the most part. Unless the job
will help me with my major. Living at the College. In my spare time
I would hang out with my friends, visit my family depending on
what school I go to. Staying out of trouble.
• In the next year, I want to take some classes in High School that
will help me prepare for College and my major. Maintaining a high
grade average. Some clubs are Red Cross, and Diverse Friendship,
and applying for Leadership as a senior. Jobs taken may be
shadowing someone in the career that I am interested in.

6. Work Values
• My top two work values are the fact that I could do things for other
people; and that my work will give me a feeling of accomplishment,
that I did what I could and I am proud of it. The two careers that
matched this were, criminal investigator and special agents, and a
post-secondary school teacher. These two careers are something
that I am looking into because they are in my head of pursuing
them later on. I scored the highest in achievement. Which means
that I do look for jobs that let me use my best ability that I have for
it. I want to be able to feel accomplished with my work, not be
disappointed in it. I also want to be able to see the results of hard
work. To know that they are there and I am doing the right thing
and a good job at it.

8. What Do I Like?
• In this test I scored the highest in the fact that I like to work with
people. I like to help people and care for them. I like to work as
part of a team and persuade people into different decisions or
choices they may have to make. I also like to supervise and lead
others.
• Jobs that relate to this that I like are; Child Care Worker, Managers
of Police, Secondary Teachers, Athletic Trainers, Mental Health
Counselors or Clinical/ School Psychologists.
• All these jobs above represent what I want to do because of my
personality. I enjoy the jobs that deal with helping others in any
type of circumstance there is. I want to be there for people, and to
understand really what is happening to them.

9. My Foundation Building Blocks
I had six foundation building blocks that described me. They were,
self-esteem, self-management, cooperation, responsibility, knowing
how to learn, and arithmetic/math.
I feel that these specific building blocks is what helps me in building
my structured foundation.
Self-esteem is a big part, because you have to believe in yourself, and
trust that you are doing the best that you can do. Being able to
managed your time wisely helps with so many things. Knowing that
you can make time and be able to complete your work by that
deadline and not be running late with it. I like to have my work
done even before its due, to make sure its not late. Another building
block was my cooperation; being able to work well with others and
incorporate their ideas with yours is so helpful. If you have a group
project you don’t want to not being able to get along with them,
and only think what you say is right.

10. My Foundation Building Blocks
Knowing how to learn; this is key for people. If I don’t get something
during class, I’m not afraid to ask for help, asking doesn’t hurt it will
only help you. Going to the library to look something up,
researching information more because your interested in it that
much. Having responsibility for my foundation is a big thing. Doing
my homework all the time, getting to class on time, not being late
on projects getting them in to the teacher when they are supposed
to be due. And last, arithmetic/math performing basic computations,
and being able to choose the appropriate ways to solve a problem.
There are some building blocks that I do wish to develop over time,
such as; leadership, I want to be able to take lead in projects, and
help others more. Another building block would be communication, I
want to be more comfortable at giving speeches, and not nervous
while doing them. Being alright with standing in front of the class
and just talking. Those are some things that I would like to achieve
to help me with building my foundation better.

11. Building Blocks to Develop
There are some building blocks that I do wish to develop over time,
such as; leadership, I want to be able to take lead in projects, and
help others more. Another building block would be communication, I
want to be more comfortable at giving speeches, and not nervous
while doing them. Being alright with standing in front of the class
and just talking. Also, negotiation, I think that by developing that
skill will help me understanding different ideas and thoughts, and
being able to interpret them into some of my own ideas. Those are
some things that I would like to achieve to help me with building my
foundation better.

12. Holland Code Careers
Special Education Teacher, Secondary
School
*SOCIAL
• Becoming a Special Education Teacher at the secondary school level has
always been something that has interested me. In my Holland Code this job
matched my personality with what I scored. This job scored under the
social part of my personality. The one thing that makes me really want to
be a part of this job is the fact of helping others who really need it. Your
helping children understand concepts that they don’t know at all. Your
always there for them and guide them through what they need. This is a
special job because you definitely need to have a lot of patients, and the
will to help them all. These things are in my personality. I love to help
others, and help people understand things. The salary for being a Special
Education Teacher is $48,690.

13. Holland Code Career
Pediatrician, General
*Investigative
• A general Pediatrician gets to help out kids when they are sick, they
get to go home at the end of the day and know that they made
someone feel better, and that they helped so many people. That’s a
major thing that I want to do, I want to be able to have that feeling
that I was able to help so many different kids with their sickness.
It’s a little different then being a school teacher, but has some of
the same ideas within it. I want a job where I know that I am
helping someone. To me that is a huge part, something that I
would look forward to. I want to be able to figure out what is
wrong, and what exactly is causing this illness to happen to them.
The salary for being a general Pediatrician is $85,270.

14. Holland Code Career
Criminal Investigator, Special
Agent
*Enterprising
• A criminal Investigator, is definitely different than my other two careers, but
something that I have wanted to do my entire life. I want excitement in my
career, but also the fact of still helping others. It’s a different way of help,
but if someone loses a loved one, and you can be the one to find out who
did it and put them away for it, that’s still helping someone. Becoming a
Criminal Investigator is hard work, but by taking the Holland Code for my
personality I know that they match. This job has a lot of information that
you need to know, and investigation to be done. This salary is $43,120 for
entry level workers and $82,520 for experienced workers.

15. Birkman Test
Actuary
• In the Birkman Test, one of my careers was to be an Actuary. An
Actuary is someone that will be spending the majority of their time
in this career with numbers. About 65 % of the time you will also be
helping out other people with establishing their goals, reviewing
their work progress and also researching figures. This job matches
my personality because I like to be involved with math, and tying in
helping people with making some of their decisions. There are test
that you do have to pass before becoming an Actuary, which are
fully based on your math skills. There are different steps in this
career, and the further you get into the career the higher your
salary will then go. Some majors for this career consists of
accounting, actuarial science, applied mathematics, logistics
management, managerial economics, risk management, statistics,
economics, finance, and mathematics.

16. Birkman Test
Criminologist
• In this Birkman Personality Test another career that came up was to be a
Criminologist. A Criminologist is basically someone who studies the normal
social behaviors and how these influence different things. Being a
Criminologist the job can change depending on what you have to deal with.
You can be working on a crime scene, going to autopsies to having to
construct different profiles depending on the case they are scheduled to be
in. This is a job that I have wanted to do since I was little. Being able to
have an open work space, and doing different things that relate to each
other in some way. To be able to investigate a crime, and be able to figure
out why it happened or how it even happened.

17. Birkman Test
Detective/ Private Investigator
• Another career choice that I chose from the Birkman Personality Test is
to become a Detective or a Private Investigator. I want to be able to put
the puzzle pieces together to figure out what happened in a crime
scene. You get to look through different records of people to see who
the profile fits to. Investigating suspects backgrounds, their life. Part of
this job can also include looking for missing people. To be an
investigator you should be able to work alone and not have a problem,
be able to figure out situations with your own ideas, think in a logical
manner, and be able to react quickly to changing circumstances. Some
majors for this are developmental psychology, pre-law, risk
management, criminology, and criminal science.

18. My Best Career Choice
• I would say that out of all the careers that I researched and learned
about, my favorite one would be the Secondary School Teacher for
Special Needs. I think that this one is the best fitting for me
because it has a great deal of helping others. Which is one of my
main things that I really want to pursue a career in. Even though all
of the careers that I learned about described me and showed my
personality through them, I do think that this one is what best
describes me in different ways. In this career I get to use all of my
qualities that I hold, and I get to do what I love to. I get to help
people, use my people skills to get along with everyone and be
comfortable around them. With this career I would know that I was
able to help someone out and taught them something new.
