Goals
Short Term
  • assist with organic vegetable sales for the IVC Garden's farmer's market tent
  • become knowledgeable enough to answer questions from passers-by 
Long Term
  • find and procure a career that financially supports my lifestyle and morally supports a community 
  • I would like to make just a bit more than I need
  • work at least for a short time in an agriculture setting where I'm being paid 
Habits
Short Term
  • currently, I show up on time and ready to get to work
  • I tend to take fewer breaks than other workers, and I ask clarifying questions when I feel I need more information to do my job properly
  • I need to fix my sleep schedule so I have more energy at work and don't crash immediately after; if I'm not awake and alert, I'm not doing my best
Long Term
  • I hope to learn the quickest route to work and the fastest method of getting there, reducing the chances of my not being on time 
  • I want to learn to drive so I have that option available to me if it's the only plausible way for me to get to where I need to be for my job
Allies
Short Term
  • In every job, I will most likely have coworkers who aspire to climb higher on the ladder, as I do. Having hard-working, aspiring colleagues in my corner will most likely assist me in progressing past the most menial of positions
  • This class also serves as an assistant to teaching me things about the workplace I don't know about because normal high school doesn't teach that
Long Term
  • I can always ask my parents, the founders and owners of their own company, what they look for in reliable employees and what sets them apart from other ones
  • I also know their employees and I can ask them about building a resume that actually got them hired for a steady job
  • I will have the internet to reference if I ever feel that much like a fish out of water

  3. Finding a career isn't just about what you need to get money, but it's mainly about what you like. You definetly don't want to go into a career solely because it pays lots of money because you would probably be suffering for a while. When looking for a career, you should look for one that can both keep you content, and pay you well.
