Colleges I Will Apply To

Sharee Woods
 Career Interests

The career interests that I have are, cosmetology and liberal studies. Cosmetology would

be my first option, to become a cosmetologist there are requirements you have to meet such as,

being a "social butterfly" is good because you need to communicate with your clients. Being an

introvert isn't and won't be good for your job. Another skill you should have is to be able to move

quickly. It's common to have accidents and spills so you need to be able to move quickly. Then

there is makeup, for makeup you need to be able to blend well and know how to match skin

tones.

Being a cosmetologist, you will have to communicate with the people around you. Being

a shy type of person isn't going to be good for your job, you'll most likely get a bad review and

maybe even fired because you don't fit the requirements for your personality. To be a

cosmetologist you should be an outgoing person and person and to be willing to be the

person to start a conversation. If your client wants to talk to you about advice or drama the best

thing to do is go along with it and help them by giving your opinion. The best thing to do is let

them be open with you and make them as happy as possible.

The most challenging part about this job is an unsatisfied client. Sometimes meeting a

clients expectations isn't always easy. You'll get those people that come in for a new hairstyle that

may be tough and the next thing you know, they aren't happy with what you've done. With

makeup you can easily take off and restart but with hair you can just shave their head and expect

it to grow back and start all over again. You will come across challenges but it's all worth it if

you pay attention during school and do your best.

For my second career interest I chose liberal studies, I love children and I would want to

work with a young age group. Education is an anchor for young children. Critical thinking,

structure, and experience build up fearless motivation for children to accumulate

developmentally appropriate knowledge and skill. The best way to get students learning is

intentional teaching. Children learn by doing and being directed towards goals and success.

Practice and preparation with each student at their own pace of learning will guide them in the

most adequate way.

So much of what young children learn is based off play. Play is highly important to a

child's learning abilities. The majority of activities children are given are hands-on learning

through games and technology. Everything they do is play. Play is made to be repetitive and is

intensively modified to help improve each students development. It is one of the easiest ways to

get the interest of a child, because without the interest their willingness to learn isn't there and

they fall behind developmentally. Play gives children physical coordination and motor skills.

There are so many types of play children take part in. A huge part of younger children's

play is their imagination and their ability to play with other children. Children are hands on,

messy, creative play with plenty of materials if available for self- selection. Symbolic and

meaningful play is common in the younger students because it allows them to explore and grasp

their own understanding. Giving them the opportunity to become creative and social. In this type

of play they learn their own interests. Constructive play is when the children create something

new. This would give them the most opportunity to become creative on their own. The use of

their imagination helps develop their mind and thinking skills. For example, playing in a sand

box or drawing with chalk on the ground, or even building with legos. Functional play is

repetitive. If the child is continuously practicing a skill they master it and it becomes a learned

skill. For example, opening and closing something or pushing and pulling a toy back and forth or

even stacking blocks up and knocking them down.
