Although I have not decided on a specific career, I have decided to pursue architecture as my field of study. I choose this career because my father is a hard-working engineer and architect and I have always been interested in his work, asking him many questions about his work and what he is currently working on. I knew this career field was for me when I went to an open house architectural college near me. All the information and programs in the college truly caught my eye. 

Classes I have taken/are currently taking are Geometry, Pre-Calc, Physics Honors, Chemistry Honors. A class that is a huge help to my preferred field of study is Engineering II in the Dr. James A. Forrest Career & Technology Center. We so far have learned how to use CADD programs, hand-drafting, engineering tools, additive manufacturing, CNC machines, college and future career preparation and presentation skills.

 I have participated in extracurricular activities in the past such as track, cross-country, swim, and tennis. They taught me how to set goals for yourself, push yourself outside of your limits and put yourself out there; being your own person. I have participated in a Robotics STEM Summer Camp in the USMSM Smart Building in the summer of 2026 which will help me in my career choice. I have never been employed but after I learn some knowledge in Engineering in the Forrest Career and Technology Center, I plan on looking for an internship connected to engineering/architecture.

 After graduating from high school, I will not join the military or go straight to the work force. Nor will I work as an apprentice, attend a community college or trade school. I will probably go to a four-year college or university to pursue my education in engineering. My plans may change over time. 

After I achieve my career goal, I don’t particularly believe I will directly affect the community in which I live in. But I do believe I will affect society as a whole because architects design solutions to assist others with their issues. My impact on the world is the same as it would with society. I will have a positive impact on the world and working alongside a determined, group of people. We will help improve the quality of life for people around the world.
