I am interested in being an editor or journalist, I am also interested in working with criminology. Both tests suggested psychiatry and writing opportunities, as well as art opportunities. I am interested in both the crime aspect of psychiatry, I would like to know why someone does or behaves the way they do. I am also very interested in writing.


4. Choose three most desirable careers to you.  What types of education and training are needed for your top three job choices?For Editors I would need an English major and some things pretaining to Journalism or writing.
For scientists I must work hard in science, passing all of those classes as well as some background with math. But most likely I must do well in chemistry.
For a sketch artist I would just have to do well in art and know how to represent myself well.



5. Outline a plan of how you will reach your career goal.  What steps can you take while still in high school to ensure that you can achieve your career goals?

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

1. He was a regular guy, running errands for his wife.
2. He is often a hero, helping others, but always intelligent
3.Mrs. Mitty is a very busy person and doesn't treat him very well
4.Because what he thinks he is able to be who ever he wants to be and live the life he wanted, no matter what. I agree completely, you can be whoever you want in your imagination.
5. You've got to follow your dreams, going for the jobs that you would like in your fantasies.
6. "Sheena can you look over these results, I don't understand this?"
"Oh deffinatly." I took the paper from her hands and looked at the findings/
"According to the hair found at the scene, the perpetrator is a 30 year old white male, with a nasty smoking habit, an addiction to alchol and has dark brown hair."
"You were able to get all that infromation from hair?"
"Yeah it's science."
7.I look down at the crime scene photos, looking for the small details others have missed.  The computer is beeping in the corner, the DNA test I had run had a match. I couldn't get my eyes of the pictures though. How could they have missed this? There was a man, standing right behind the room divider his hands pressed to the scene. This was one for the books, maybe a book of my own.
8.I think he did it because he wasn't happy with the life he has now. If he went back to school or found programs that he could take part in, he'd be able to follow one of these ideas he had.
9. Vision as a kid: Soldier, FBI agent, famous athlete
 Visions now: Navy Piolit, Captian, Doctor, villian
