"What stands in between you and your dream job? Why do you deserve to work in a dream job environment? what do you bring to the table? Be specific." This is a great question as well in that it encourages us to think to the next stages after completing this degree. I know I came into this program with the idea of equipping myself to move out of the classroom and into a role of leadership with curriculum/people development. Now let me explain THAT! The Wordle picture above is a collage of self-descriptors of who I am, evolving into sprinkled with words from two appropriate quotes I love: "Above all, remember your humanity." -Sir Joesph Rotblat and "Above all things get wisdom and understanding."- The Bible
My dream job is to be an umbrella company/think tank so to speak that helps to support, inspire and model and assist others in creating/becoming their Best Selves and live life full out- however that looks to them. An organization that encourages kids to dream and teaches them how to become empowered to make their dreams a reality. It is more of a mission and passion that it would be called a job. I already have the framework for this and a few ideas and supporters showing up. It makes me very excited to know and be able to use my gifts of vision, idea development and helping to assist others discover their passions and reach their dreams for themselves, not the ones that others may have told them were the right ones, safe ones. My motto is helping others be their best selves in life! I would have a facility where (I cannot tell my entire idea until it is copywrited- lol!) all of these great things would happen and in the midst, people would be required and compelled to pay it forward.
I deserve this job/career because I am passionate about it, have the skills, drive, know how and dedication to make it happen and it's my idea! I deserve it because I asked for it and it will benefit more than myself. I bring to it a host of skills and experiences from educational, life experiences, community service and passion along with the ability and willingness to make the connections and do the research to ensure it's success.
My ideal career is one that will help develop more 'kid-prenuers' than 'workers' as research shows kids are most likely to stop dreaming between the ages of 9 and 10 because the people in their environment start telling them to grow up, get real, and life is hard. Life is what you make it. Why not make it something you are passionate about?
