Needs - VerzacheI’ve always been rather standoffish when it came to discussing my career choice. It wasn’t that it was something I was embarrassed or ashamed of, rather it was (and still is) something I hadn’t fully decided on yet. It’s difficult not having a concrete idea of what I’d want to pursue in the future, I dislike being unprepared. And with only about a year left of high school, its scary that I haven't fully set my mind on something so important yet. I feel rushed. I’m fearful that once I’m thrown out of high school I’ll still be indecisive, and in turn I’ll be forced into a major and settle. Constantly throughout my childhood I would be entranced by different jobs, every week was a new “I wanna be [insert occupation] when I grow up!”. I wanted to be it all! From an astronaut to pastry chef, and from a pastry chef to a detective. Of course children have these kind of luxuries, being able to explore various careers! But as we grow older the clock starts ticking aster faster.. But, I’ve never felt as if this “luxury” in my life ended. The main difference is, I don’t feel like I can be curious anymore, I feel like I have to choose now or I’ll be left with something I couldn’t ever enjoy. My current career choice is becoming a nurse. When I was younger I always had some interest in the medical field, and this year it’s really grown. So far this choice could be considered one of my more “consistent” choices. I guess another part that makes choosing so difficult is the impact I’d have. I personally have never seen myself making a significant change/difference in the community. Rather I’ve always seen myself as someone in the back, there's just more people suited for that role, people who shine brighter than me. But onto a happier perspective. I’ll be interning at Athenaeum Art Center in Barrio Logan! Regarding my feelings towards my internship, I’m nervous yet excited, I love art definitely and it'll definitely be fun to get back into the creative groove after being in a stump for a while.. I need to work on having a better work schedule, procrastination has always been something I easily fall victim to. And while this habit has gotten better I still definitely see places where I could improve.
