With many felids of work in the world the one that interests me the most is the felid of diesel technology. Some influences that caused me to make this choice include my dad who has worked in the automotive industry his whole professional career and Mr. Wolf the diesel tech teacher here at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career & Technology Center. I made my decision about my future at the beginning of this school year.
Courses that I have completed that relate to diesel tech include ATEX diesel tech and hopefully more soon! Some skills that I learned that may help in achieving my goal is working my dads shop most of my life and had some experience with diesel at the tech center. I have good reading comprehension skills, leadership skills and I get along with everyone I meet.
Some extracurricular activities that have taught me teamwork and how to work with others to achieve a common goal are wrestling and football. Some activities that I have participated in outside of school that may help me in my goal of becoming a diesel technician are working in my dads shop, cutting grass and putting in fences. This will help me because they are somewhat considered physical labor and so is diesel technology. I have been employed at a few places so far including, harvesting tobacco another is cutting grass. Lastly I have experience putting in fences.
My plan as soon as I get out of high school is to apply to a tech/trade school school for diesel technology. I will attend a trade school because they might have diesel technology? I will work as a apprentice while I study diesel tech So I can achieve some experience while I acquire an education. I won't go straight into the workforce because I need an education and experience before I work. Though I understand things can change I most likely won't transfer or change my goal in life after high school.
After achieving my career goal I will impact my community by teaching anyone that wants to learn diesel tech. I will affect society by powering and fixing the trucks that bring people the goods they need. I will affect the world when I achieve my dream by assisting in the transportation of the goods people need to live a happy and healthy life. I would have a somewhat positive impact on the world by getting people the goods they need in their everyday life.
