Where I MIGHT be in five years(woah long time)
Today I am not currently enrolled in school, and the only thing that I have to my name is a high school diploma. Although I graduated from high school almost three years ago I am going to enter my first year of college this fall. I plan to major in human services, and to take all my general ed's for my first year. It's really hard to say where I see myself in five years, I'll be twenty four years old, and I feel older just typing that out. Hopefully I'll be close to being done with college. I hope to at least be transferred from Washtenaw and ideally be enrolled at University of Michigan. I cant say where I see my self relationship wise since mine have been so unpredictable in my short life span, but I really don't see my self settling down that early. I may choose to take a quick step into the medical field and become a phlebotomist, or a medical assistant. That way at least I could support my self with no problems while I decide where I end up. To achieve my goal I just have to stay on the right track, I think i've been doing the right thing as of late and getting alot of good experiences this summer. I've been working every day and really honing the attitude it takes to be responsible and take care of business before having fun. This will hopefully aid me down the road, because I will be going to school and working full time. To be honest, I think the Youth Works program reitterated alot of thing for me, Its definetly targeted towards a younger age group and I feel that my maturity level kind of agitated me while I was in the program. I did get valuable experience from shadowing different health care jobs, such as a medical assitant which im interested in pursueing and the tours we took were very interesting and informational, but the soft skills, financial seminars, and entrepeneurship activities were more common sense than anything and had a very young feel to them, I think next year they should be wary of the age group restriction or if they choose to have a "leadership" position like they had this year, they should tell the appropriate amount of older youth to enter. Instead of leaving some of them hanging, and in a program that is a little to immature for them.
