Career Goal: to be in the medicine industry
More Specific: Orthopedic Surgeon, Rheumatologist, Anesthesiologist, or Physical Therapist

· Requirements:
o Education - Most of these occupations require graduate school. For example, they may require a master's degree, and some require a Ph.D., M.D., or J.D. (law degree).
o Training - Employees may need some on-the-job training, but most of these occupations assume that the person will already have the required skills, knowledge, work-related experience, and/or training.
o Experience - Extensive skill, knowledge, and experience are needed for these occupations. Many require more than five years of experience. For example, surgeons must complete four years of college and an additional five to seven years of specialized medical training to be able to do their job.

Career Planning
Career Planning
Criterion A: INVESTIGATE
· Think about your interests:
- I have an assortment of interests, some of them more recent than others. In my own time, I take pleasure in learning about animal anatomy and behavior, to be more specific the dog, making jewelry, singing, painting crafted items, such as wooden boxes, and when in Macon, being in the outdoors. At school I enjoy math, science, physical education (although I am not able to do so right now), and humanities.
- 10 (8) Activities I enjoy:
1) sports and exercising in general
2) math
3) science
4) history or humanities
5) training dogs
6) singing
7) making jewelry
8) outdoor activities
1) Sports and exercising in general
- I find doing sports and exercise relaxing, fun, and enjoyable. Just recently I am counted as medically unable to do sports. Every time you play a sport, you always learn something new and it was a regular challenge to play your best. I think just the adrenaline rush of playing sports is enough satisfaction to make it one of my favourite activities.
2) Math
- Although math can sometimes be tough, I find it useful in life and depending on what it is, fun. I find math to be a necessity for my future. This is one of my best subjects in school and I enjoy helping others learning hard math concepts. Math is all around us and it can be useful in almost any situation, which is why it is counted as an activity I enjoy.
3) Science
- Science is not always enjoyable, but overall it becomes handy and useful. Science involves math, so those classes go together and use each other. Once again, this is another of my best subjects and I plan to use both science and math for my future career, which is why I think I should enjoy doing these activities. I like hands on activities and so this is one of the few classes which you get to experiment rather than reading a text book over and over. In science there are always new concepts and things to learn, so you can never be too good at science. I think part of why I like this activity is that its on going learning and science surrounds us everywhere.
4) History or Humanities
- Compared to math or science, I don’t enjoy this subject a lot, but I thought it would be enough to count it as one of the activities I enjoy. As everyone knows or says, history shapes our future, so I think it’s a necessity to know some history. My brothers both love learning about history, especially WWI and WWII, so I think I’m kind of tied in to liking it as well. It’s not such a bad thing to know and I do enjoy it somewhat just because it’s good to know what has happened in the past.
5) Training dogs/learning about behavior etc.
- This is a topic that I can go on and on about. It has also been a topic that I have loved and enjoyed over many years (probably the activity that has been around the longest). I think animals in general are quite fascinating and its fun to learn about their anatomy and figure out why they do the things they do. I’ve trained most dogs in our extended family and I have a stack of dog books all about their anatomy and behavior. People sometimes say im obsessed with them, but I just count it as a passion as mine that I enjoy very much.
6) Singing
- Although I have never sang in public except once or twice, I enjoy this much more than people know. A lot of my free time includes singing and I enjoy music in general. I think it gives me adrenaline and makes me happy in general. For this activity I don’t really know why I enjoy it, but I do.
7) Making jewelry
- This activity will count as my art activity. I haven’t been too interested in it lately, but for the past few years I have learned many new techniques. I think I enjoy making jewelry because it is something I am good and capable of doing. Also, I can wear it and its unique and one-of-a-kind.
8) Outdoor Activities
- In Macon, Georgia, I enjoy going out in the woods behind my house. There is all kinds of wildlife and also a creek. I love going down to the creek with my brothers and jumping in the water or climbing rocks. I may seem a bit old for this, but I find it enjoyable and fun. Since my brothers also like outdoor activities, it gives me some time to spend with my brothers because we never really do that much together.
Careers I have been thinking about:
1) Optometrists: Diagnoses and treats the human visual eye system. I think I would enjoy this because it is a fascinating and it involves science, one of my favourite subjects.
2) Physical Therapist: Help to rehabilitate patients to relieve them of pain, help make them more mobile, or increase strength. I think I would enjoy this because I have gone to physical therapy for 9 months and I believe I would enjoy their job helping others.
3) Pharmacist: Give patients medication from their prescriptions. I know someone who is a pharmacist. I have no reason for wanting to do this, but I believe I would enjoy it.
4) Anesthesiologist: Gives patients strong pain killers and puts them to sleep before surgery and other medical procedures. I would enjoy this occupation because I have been in a lot of physical pain, so I would like to take people out of theirs.
5) Rheumatologist: a doctor who specializes in treating joint pain. Just like the anesthesiologist occupation I would like to be a rheumatologist because it deals with joint pain, which all goes back to my joint pain.
6) Orthopedic Surgeon: a surgeon of the bones. This one deals with bones as well and I think it would be a fun occupation.
I have enjoyed being part of soccer teams at Northbridge International School of Cambodia (NISC), Mount de Sales Academy (MDS), and the International School of Ulaanbaatar (ISU). I also spent one season on the basketball team at the International School of Brussels (ISB). Other after school activities have included photography (ISU), backstage (ISU), fruit carving (NISC), candle-making (NISC), guitar lessons (NISC) and gymnastics (ICS and NISC). I have also learned to play a number of musical instruments including the piano, the flute, and the violin. For the past 8 years I have studied French and here and there I have also taken language courses in Spanish, Khmer, Mongolian, and Arabic. I love studying animals and their behavior, to be more specific the dog, and I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of my own. Other interests of mine are travelling and making jewelry.
My volunteer work has consisted for raising funds for piglets to be given to poor families in Cambodia, and also visiting and playing at an orphanage with HIV positive children. At Mount de Sales Academy I helped raise funds for a diaper drive, different orphanages, and buying canned foods to be given to a homeless shelter. I also took part in fundraising for service trips at the International School of Brussels, including one to the Ukraine, where the students would help construct and paint orphanage buildings.
