Unit 1 LIFE CHOICES
What career will it be in your future?
What are you going to be when you grow up? This question is meant to make the students think about what type of career they would like to pursue (追求). Their answer guides us in the advice we provide.
As a young teenager, I made the decision that I wanted to be a Doctor of Medicine. I was unable to put my finger on exactly when or how this came about, but by the time I was a senior in high school, I was sure of it.
I spent the next four years of my academic life burying myself in medical studies. In order to get the grades necessary to be admitted to a medical school, I spent large amounts of time in the library. From my sophomore year (大二) on, I was known around the campus as “Doc” Rogers.
At first, it was a bitter pill to swallow (吞咽). Fortunately, while enrolled (使加入) in graduate school, I found a part-time teaching job at a private high school in the south-west corner of Miami, Florida. I enjoyed it so much that upon completing my graduate studies, I headed back north and spent the rest of my 20s teaching and coaching.
I discovered I really liked working with young people in an educational setting. As I mentioned above, I am an academic adviser. I also work as a learning specialist. I enroll the students in classes and then give them the tools they need to be successful in the course. It’s a perfect combination in which I take pride.
Once again, what are you going to be when you grow up? My experience has led me to believe that the answer to this question requires a process of trial and error (反复试验). Every new endeavour (努力) you pursue, success you experience, failure you endure (忍受), place you visit, person you meet, class you take, etc, will assist you in narrowing it down as to what career will be an excellent fit for you.
