So today I discovered some pretty significant thigns about myself, in the form of a meeting with what I call a "career shrink." About a month ago I filled out some tests and forms, and sent them in, and this doctor analyzed my results. What I found out from him was completely fascinating.
He started with saying that I was the kind of person who could go a vast number of ways, careerwise. My interests are very widespread, and according to the test I guess I'm a well-adjusted person, as he said it, I'm not the "weird type" at all. We talked about my love of music and writing, and he talked about how well it reflected in my results. Then he started on the topic of college majors, and I couldn't help but positively beam at the suggestion he gave me. He told me to major in Communications, in the area of Journalism or TV/Film Broadcasting. Wow. I was so excited. I'd love any career that could come out of those majors! Another suggestion he gave was to major in English and Creative Writing, that any of those majors would be perfect for me and my future suitable careers. He went on to explain how these suited me; things I can't even put into the right words to relay. It felt like he knew exactly what went on in my mind, the very person I am.
Honestly, this appointment was so worthwhile. He told me things that totally intrigued me about myself! I won't go into the detail of all the potential careers he laid out for me, but all that he said captured my interest. I would recommend for any kid my age to go through something like this. I'm so psyched for my future now. My mind is a lot clearer now that I know what to make of my talents. Now it's down to narrowing down colleges and picking the right one. That doesn't seem so daunting anymore, now that I have it down to five schools. I'm feeling sooo goooood!
So I know what I'm doing in college now! :- ) And that's an amazing feeling to have. I'll take my freshman and possibly sophomore year to narrow it down to one of the above listed majors. I know by then one will be out in the front of the pack. From there, I can go on to do about a million careers, whatever my little heart desires.
I couldn't be more excited. Bring on the future.
