✨TYKTWD✨

Hi its Maggie!

What’s TYKTWD?

You’ve probably read the title of this post and thought what’s TYKTWD? TYKTWD stands for Take your kid to work day. Last Wednesday we were assigned to go with a parent or another adult to their work. I went with my dad to his work he does boat insurance so it would be exciting to see how a day at work was for him , I also brought one of my other friends from school. 

How the day went

Around 9 am I left the house with my Dad and we went to pick up my school friend, and then we started our decent to the office. It probably took about 20 -30 minutes to get there. As we arrived I took some photos and a video of the building. Then we got to go and take a look in the office and it was really exciting to see where he works, I met all of the co workers who were super funny and kind. After I introduced myself and my friend, we made our space in the board room and I started doing our interviews for school.

The main bit of doing interviews was getting the co workers perspective of this job, like what’s super fun that you do here? I really enjoyed doing the interviews especially with having the help of the mini microphones. Later in the day we got to walk my dog Daisy down to the pet bakery to get treats! We also got to paint this super boring pot and turn it into something beautiful. When we had to leave around 5 I had said thanks to all the amazing workers and we had to return home.

 

 

Here’s a pic of my dog Daisy at work.

Thank you Email

We had to create a thank to the parent or adult that you went with.

Hi Dad,

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me all about what you do for work, I found lots of it to be quite interesting. My video looks so amazing with the help from you and your coworkers so make sure to thank them from me. I’m really excited to show my video with the rest of the world so that they too can learn about what boat insurance is all about.

Kind regards,

Maggie

Driving question

The driving question to this project was

How does experiencing a workday shape our view of career choices? My answer to that question would be trying to new things will help you figure out what you would like to do in the near future, I think that its great to try anything you would want to so you can find what you love and could try focusing on that. It’s even ok if you think you love doing something but it doesn’t actually happy, it’s alright if you want to try something else. I think that would be my answer to the driving question.

Video

For the other bit of this project we had to create a 3-4 minute video about the day with different camera shots and post it to YouTube.

Here’s a copy of my video! If you get a chance make sure to take a look!

 

Conclusion

In conclusion I found Boat insurance to be a cool job, but I don’t think I would like to have a career in that direction. I’m really happy that I got to have to experience it and find out something new about myself.

Thanks for reading!
