Personal Narrative: The Beauty Career Field

Since the beginning of my Starlette career, I have had a strong desire to be part of the officer line. Starting on the Fabra Dance Team in fourth grade, I developed a fondness of the dance team environment which lead me to join pep squad my eighth grade year as a preparation for the Starlettes. As an incoming freshman, all I saw was passion and unconditional love for the BHS Starlettes coming from the officers during tryout week which caught my attention. After being a part of the Starlettes for a year, the officers have only continued to impress me with their encouragement and built my desire to carry on their legacy.

I studied cosmetology at Hair Dynamics beauty school, where I later received my certification. I have a great interest in cosmetology and the beauty industry. I am also a part-time freelance makeup artist. I work on photo shoots and weddings. I am very hard-working and enjoy working with different types of people. I believe that these

I am very talented in my line of beauty work and I think I deserve it. It will pay off 10 years from now because I love doing beauty work and have always loved doing it. I want to be a cosmetologist because I get to be creative in my own way and get paid for it. I like

For my career I chose cosmetology. Cosmetology is the professional skill or practice of beautifying the face, hair, and skin. I chose this career because I would be able to work with a variety of people with different personalities. I would get to use the human body as an art canvas and the career offers a lot of variety because of its many branches.

I’ve always wanted to do something to help others. My first idea was to help others with their natural beauty by being a hairstylist. That had always been something I enjoyed in my life as I was growing up. So after high school I pursued my dream and went to college for cosmetology. I enjoyed it for a while, but I still felt

When it comes to my passion most don’t understand it the way I do. For the past three years my passion has been lacrosse. Since I was a freshman at Sandalwood High School my interests for the sport have grown and my devotion and commitment have reached new limits. Most people don’t understand lacrosse, they just know that it is a sport “with sticks and stuff”, and while I don’t take offense to ignorance; sharing my passion with others is never a burden. Lacrosse is one of the biggest parts of my life as of now and I believe it will continue to be for many years to come, but there’s more to the sport than most people know. Lacrosse has a history behind it older than any other sport in America, as well as the fact that as of now,

All my life I wanted to do this but as I am growing up I am seeing beauty. It is everywhere, but I honestly don’t think I could be a full time cosmetologist because I do want to go to college and major in psychology so I’m seeing the need to do this part time to help me through college. Then I might just end up doing this for fun, like community makeovers you know empowering women to feel good inside and out so I’d give away free makeovers to a local mother or something maybe once or twice a month to show the community that “Teamwork makes the dream work”- J

Although most people would continue post-secondary after high school, I plan on going to college, most likely Langara college, first after graduating. At first, I did want to go straight to UBC or SFU after high school, however, I started thinking of what I wanted to do. Then it occurred to me of how this is going to affect my entire life. From what I heard from others, people sometimes change their decisions based on what they want to do as a career. Not only does this take a lot of time on studying something else after changing their primary focus, but also costs a lot of money. Unfortunately, I know that I won’t have enough money to pay off the financial expenses just to study for the career I want for my future. I need to make sure that

Squeaking shoes, running fast, comfy scrubs that make it easy to move fast, shiny stethoscopes that help nurses hear patient's hearts beat. These are some of the things that nurses do everyday at work. Along with helping patients there are many tasks that nurses do every day in a variety of locations that not only take a toll on them physically but mentally as well.

My nursing journey began after my aunt was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2001. Within months the cancer had metastasized throughout her body. I felt helpless as I watched her health begin to decline. Before she became ill, she had pursued a career as a school teacher. At her funeral, I listened to stories from former students about how she impacted their lives. At that time I realized that I also wanted to pursue a career involved with helping individuals. I decided nursing was the best route because it was something that interested me and it would positively impact the lives of others. My family played a major role in the successful completion of my diploma in nursing. Their love and support allowed me to pursue my studies with

On Tuesday 18th, 2017 I interviewed Elizabeth Surprenant the systems Administrator for B. F. Saul Company & Affiliates (Real State Company). Before I decided to interview her, I first targeted the type of occupation that I want to know more information. Economics my targeted major. Due to my interest in economics, I decided to interview Ms. Surprenant, who has a bachelor degree in Accounting and she doubled major in economics. There were 2 degrees of separation between this Ms. Surprenant and me. I contacted her via email and set up a meeting to discuss some details about her occupation.

I have accomplished lots of things in my lifetime. I have accomplished getting a job and getting my license to go to that job. I have accomplished working two jobs one is being a machinist and a referee.

Growing up I always use to like doing my hair, as well as my mothers and sisters hair. I began to do my own hair for school at the age of nine. About six months before I graduated high school, I participated in a fundraiser to support breast cancer /scholarship contest at Aveda Institute, which is a cosmetology school. I saw many creative and talented students at the event, it was amazing! I assumed it was a sign, so as soon as I graduated high school I registered at Aveda. I truly believed that cosmetology was what I wanted to make a career out of, because I enjoy making people feel more confident about their physical appearance. However, attending the institute emphatically demonstrated a sneak preview of what life had in store for me.

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
