My Career Choices

                    My top career choices are highly into math and science. My current top five careers are a Computer Analyst for a company (NSA), Petroleum Engineer, Structural Engineer, Electrical Engineer, or Geophysicist. I would want to become a  Computer Analyst because I enjoy everything about computers, from the code behind it, to analyzing information. I would also like to work for the NSA as an analyst, following in my uncle's footsteps. I have always had a fascination with rocks. When I was around third grade, I loved fossils and wanted to become a paleontologist. As I grew up, I refined my likes into a Petroleum Engineer. My friend's parents are both Geologists, and one of them is a Petroleum Engineer, and it seems to fall under everything that I enjoy. Another choice of mine, would be a Structural Engineer. My mother is a Structural Engineer, and it also involves many of the things that I enjoy, such as building and math. My fourth career choice is an Electrical Engineer. I would obviously delve into the Computer part of it, as I enjoy working with computers. My final career choice would be a Geophysicist. A Geophysicist studies the Earth, and ways to help improve it. I have always been fascinated with such things, and feel that is might be a career I may enjoy.

What Stresses Me

                     I am not an intensely stressed out person. I do, however, come from a family of very stressed out people. On my "Stress Test", I scored a 4/24, showing that I am not a very stressed person. There are a few things that do stress me. One of those things would be my yearly doctor visit, this is one of the few things that gets under my skin. I stress out at least a month in advance, fearing that I may be diagnosed with something terrible. It is almost an irrational fear, but I still fear it anyway. To help me get over this, I usually occupy myself with something to take my mind off of the doctor visit. Another one of those things that stress me is the act of constantly failing. I despise failing, let alone doing it repeatedly. This may cause me to become stressed. The only cure for failure, is to learn from your failure, and improve. Yet another things that gets to me is my bad habit of procrastination. Sometimes, I put an assignment off until I become stressed and hurry though it. This is becoming less of a problem as I am coming to the realization of how important grades are in high-school.
