In maker we are looking at health & career and so far every week we have an assignment involving a certain project and subject. Last week we looked at healthy eating, this week it was our future and career. I have always had trouble with this, whenever someone asks what I want to be when I’m older I have no idea. I still have no idea but looking at the options this past week has given me an idea that there is so much and eventually I will find the right job. In order to get this far though we had to look at who we are, what we have already gone through and we can see ourselves going. So we made a timeline of our lives so far and we want to happen in the future.

I used the app Timeline to create this.

Next we looked at the website WorkBC a really helpful website that is about employees and employers looking for jobs. I took 3 quizzes one on my abilities, my work preferences and finally subjects quiz. This showed me that one I would be a good conductor/musician, that I would also be a good lab technician as well as an architect. I think that these are all really interesting fields of work and I would love to get the opportunity to try it one day but I’m not sure exactly what or when. On the work BC website there are also some really interesting articles for all sorts of aspects of the work force. And if you make an account you can save the arcticles and quizzes thus making a blueprint of jobs.

This is mine:

Also in class since we did a writing what being gifted means, a 100-150 paragraph on what you need to do in order to be gifted at something so I did mine on cycleing, here it is:

In order to be a “gifted” road biker you have to start with deciding. Deciding to become a cyclist means first of all getting a bike. Next you must start cycling, that means either ride to work or school. Even after work or twice a week cycling whether that is at a velodrome or on the road even in your garage on a trainer would be good. Then if you practice and try eventually you will be able to get to a point where your good at. Competing and going for longer harder rides show that you are then talented. And being talented means you are gifted. In conclusion that means that if you try hard enough and get good enough eventually you will be talented even if you don’t think so.

And all leading up to this was a iMovie on a fantasy of our future. The criteria was to create a two minute video on what we think our future will be. I used the apps iMovie and Explain Everything along with that I also used google to help find some images. We also had to have it start in Once upon a time and end in And they lived happily ever after. I enjoyed looking at this because it allowed me to reflect on what I had already done and what I want to do. So with out further to do here is my video.

Really this part of Health & Career I found really interesting because I never know what I’m going to be when I’m older. And this really helped steer me to an area of the workforce that I hadn’t even considered and that now that I see it, it will help me. Overall I really enjoyed this and recommend people to go on the website work BC since its really helpful. Anyway thanks for reading and until next bye!
