...Ideal Life I’m sure many people have a concept of their ideal life. It would include fame, fortune, travel and servants. This is not an ideal life this is an ideal fantasy. I have those too. Of course, they would include all of those things and some hunky men too. That’s fantasy though. My ideal life would contain things I think most people would say are reasonable. I’d like for the people I love to be healthy and happy, myself included. I want those same people to have what they need, be it support, food or medical care. I want them to get the same treatment if their name is Smith or Bush. I want a job that won’t send me into a nervous break down and the chance to follow my interests. I don’t think that is too much to ask. I’ve managed to find my partner in life. He’s not perfect, but I believe he is perfect for me. We fight, as couples do. We love and we laugh. When things get hard, we hold on to each other for dear life. We have had some struggles that could prove to be catastrophic to a marriage. Problems, that you can easily see, how they would tear you apart. I am so blessed, that instead of ending our lives together, we grew closer. It’s a miracle. Of that, I have no doubt. We stood together when we spent day after day in doctor’s offices, failure after failure. We held hands while medications took me on emotional roller coaster rides. He stood and took my craziness when I couldn’t control it. He loved me while I was falling apart physically...

...have an extraordinary job in his early childhood, be it an astronaut or a scientist. Later on, getting older, you also start to consider the money you earn in a job and suddenly, not only you want to become a doctor, a lawyer or a superstar. Does your ideal job go hand in hand with a high salary then, or do you want to enjoy what you are doing? I started to think about my ideal job, when I was working as a waitress in a hotel in the summertime. I'll never forget the time when I had to work ten hours a day without a minute sitting but running with plates from one table to another, beside, serving some customers. Thus I could imagine how hard work can be for just little money. There is nothing worse than physical work that exhausts you, so my idea of an ideal job is neither an extremely active work, nor a sedentary job, but something in between. Furthermore, work should be fun. You may not agree with me, but I think that as long as you enjoy your activities earning little money, you can call the work your dream job. However, the pleasure I am thinking of does not exclude stress or barriers, because work otherwise would be aimless and without any outcome. The ideal job I have in my mind is being a flight attendant. It is true that it is tiring to face passengers, even those who behave badly with a smiling face all the time but I would get the chance to travel around the world, and that is, in my eyes the best job. If you ask me, a dream job is not only related to...

I find exercises like this to be forthcoming and it make you think about the strengths that you have that go unrecognized. It also made me think about where my passion lies and what do I want to do in the future beyond my schooling. I am passionate about people and have been in the service industry for over 10 years now so it was only feasible that I search the occupation of a Customer Service Supervisor which is my current title. The two occupations from the result from O*NET that stood out to me were: Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerk and Loan Officer. I currently have an Associate Degree in Accounting which is my passion so that's why I found it interesting that these two fields would fall under Customer Service. I believe that I would be phenomenal at each of these positions not only because of my educational background, but because of the qualities that I possess. Both of these positions require accuracy, self-motivation, leadership, and consistency. From the results that I got from the Holland's Personality trait exercise I have them all. I have a passion for numbers and I also have the educational credentials to go alongside with that. My passion for servicing people and helping in...

... There are many qualities that make an ideal teacher. Competency in the field being taught is an example of the qualities expected of a good teacher. In my opinion, an ideal teacher needs to also possess additional qualities such as patience, charisma, and the ability to keep students engaged. Some teachers are too shy and keep to themselves. They could be very competent but they lack the ability to engage students in the classroom. Student motivation depends on the teachers because they can make the classroom boring or exciting. Ideal teachers should increase student’s interest in what they are learning. They should help them feel curious about the topic being learned. For example, many students are scared of mathematic classes. A good teacher can help students overcome their fears and even excel in the class. This topic appeals to me because I am a martial arts instructor. Through my job, I get to teach people of all ages. I have to teach them self-discipline, self-control, and self-defense. I use the qualities mentioned above to make a difference in people live. I find happiness in seeing my students grow in knowledge and advance in ranks. In conclusion, being an ideal teacher requires more than knowledge in the field. It also requires human qualities that will make the students want to learn about the topic. Teachers are important because they help transfer knowledge that helps us grow as human beings. They have an important job and they must dedicate themselves to mastering...
