Topic > Personal Statement: My Future Education Plan - 1044

After doing all my homework and using all the helpful resources you provided, I have completely created my future education plan. Before taking this course I wasn't so sure about my future plans and still had questions about what I wanted to do in the future. My plans for the future have been influenced by many things I have learned during my time in the classroom. My future plans are to attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and double major in computer science and graphic design or engineering. There are many ways to achieve my future plan: I need to use the tools and resources that were provided to me in the lesson. As I was completing my first assignment, there was a link that took me to a section on collegeboard.com. The link contained questions that helped me discover what I want to do in the future. There were ten questions about your talents, things that challenge you, and who you admire. My second week assignment was to take the interest profiler and after taking the test it showed me that I am interested in computer related careers. The careers that emerged after the interest profiler were interesting because they showed careers of varying degrees such as personal training and marketing. After finishing the assignment, I used the results the interests and careers profiler provided as a tip to help me with my college search for my degree. As I searched for the right college for me, I was completing my second week assignment that led me to research and explore what career I wanted to pursue and what the ten hottest jobs are right now. Of all the assignments I did, this was the most interesting because it showed me work that I had never heard of but was really interesting to me. Like with a computer science degree you can... half paper... the bank, which helps pay for school but has to pay back with interest. Additionally, if your loans go unpaid, you will get in trouble with the government and the private retailer, who may sue you for defaulting. When I was completing this assignment I was waiting for my fafsa application to come back with information about the money I was awarded. Right after I turned in my week 6 assignment, I went to UNCG to do a college visit and register for some classes and when I got home I received the amount of money I was awarded from the Fafsa. As I was completing my week seven assignment, I read about critical thinking that talks about how you are who you think you are. The most interesting assignment I did for this course was for the seventh week because I had the chance to do the Lassi test which explains, in my definition, what your weaknesses and strengths are
