The Colorado Department of Education defines "Professional" using the following descriptors:
time & work management
career literacy
grit and resilience
work ethic; dependable and reliable
Professionalism:
Personally, I believe professionalism encompasses more than just how you dress or carry yourself—it's about how you effectively manage your time, your willingness to collaborate with others, and your communication skills. This includes not only interacting with colleagues but also being able to explain professional concepts to families. Additionally, it involves working well with diverse perspectives. Each of these elements contributes significantly to your success in any professional environment.

Career Plan
As of now, I strive to pursue a career in an exercise science field of study. I am unsure of what profession in this field, but I know I love learning about the anatomy and physiology of the human body. If this career ends up not being for me, I do also have an interest in nursing. Luckily, both majors are offered at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, which is where I plan to attend for my postsecondary education.
