* My first job shadow was with the one and only Robby Webster, at Tim's body shop. Was a great experience in my opinion, taught me a lot about myself, as well as getting more educated in the process. I learned a lot about Painting a car to repairing the body of a car. I would consider in near future opening up my own body shop.
Job Shadow 2:
My second job shadow was a little different went down to Bumper to Bumper to job shadow Chris Blubaugh, really just stalked shelves helped out with any necessary needs of the customers, as well as sweeping floors, was fun all in all due to being surrounded by good people,but still not as enjoyable as as having hands on work under or on top of a car so I would not consider opening up my own parts store.
Career Report
Ever since I was young, I have always loved welding. I would love to pursue this career because It would allow me to retire at the age of forty five if I choose to! This career would make me lots of money, and give me an excuse to drive a lifted chevy everyday. My requirements for this career are to be at work on time being honest with my boss, having my own rig, as well as being dedicated to my work/ taking my time that’s the only way I will be able to pursue this career. If I were to take any college for this career I’d go for only 2 years until I’m certified, and I would go to a vo-tech which would cost around $10,000 for the 2 years that I would be taking classes at a vo-tech, but I’m not planning as of right now to attend a college due to the fact I really don’t have to necessarily go to college for welding all I have to do is pass the company’s welding test , then I’ve got the job making the same amount a year as a regular certified welder would make right out of college. My annual salary a year would be about $60,000 a year in Kansas, but being a traveling pipeline welder ,which is what I plan on pursuing, will vary anywhere between $50,000-$185,000 a year.
Reflective Essay
In this reflective essay I’m going to express how I have made a choice, and how it had an impact on me plus everyone around me. All through high school I have never really figured out what my strengths, and weaknesses were. I used to be very judgmental as well, that is until my senior summer when I had an epiphany toward how I view the world, and everyone else in it. I always looked at the world in an disorderly fashion always judging someone by their walk, or their talk I always thought I was better than everyone else, thought I ruled the world, which is pathetic, but after I put a lot of thought into my aspects and how I looked at things very carefully, I realized that I was on the wrong track leading/ going to continually lead me to know where so I had to change my thinking process which wasn’t easy still kind of working on it. For example, say a colored person walked by me in Walmart, I would have made a rude comment to one of my buddies and laugh about it or I would have judged a person that person that was different complexion. Now I really don’t feel the need to do so because like I said previously I had an epiphany which opened up my eyes and made me think wow they might be a tad darker than me but they still have a heartbeat their only human just as I am so way should their skin color determine who they are for all I know that person could be the next president of the United States which means he’s better off then I am, not an ignorant little child like I am so with that being said me not being racist, or thinking that the world owes me something I have met some very interesting people along the way that were not the same race as me even that have opened up a whole new door for me allowing me to gain more knowledge increasing my signifiants on my strengths and weaknesses allowing me to figure out who and where I belong in this world point being I have to accept everyone whether or not I am even fond of that person which brings me to my biggest point of this whole reflective essay which is we must all learn to love each other regardless! Or we must die!
