Arts, A/V Technology, & Film

For the career cluster Arts, A/V Technology, and Film. I did the two careers Talent Directors and Fashion Designer. A Talent Director does auditons and interviews of performers to select the most appropriate talent for parts in whatever production is looking for the talent. They do many more things including attend or view productions, help prepare actors for auditions, & Serve as liaisons. They make about $71,000 a year. I also did a Fashin designer their description includes designing clothing and accesories, creating original designs and adapting fashion trends. Some other things they do are adapt to other designers ideas for mass market, purchase new or used clothing and accesory items as needed, select material and production techniques to be used for products and lastly conduct with sales and management executives. They make around $62,00 a year.

True Colors : My results

Yesterday, we had a guest speaker who came and gave us a test which would give us our personality in colors, my results came out and my first and main one was orange, being an orange means that you are outgoing, impulsive, courageous, spontaneous and many more. Being an orange also means that you are a natural trouble shooter, a performer and a competitor. You also like to be hands on. You are very flexible, do well with changes and variety. You need lots of space and freedom. Orange is mostly an all around fun and exciting person. My second personality color was blue, this means you are very enthusiastic, flexible, imaginative, idealistic and many more. You like to be around people helping and inspiring them. As a blue, you like to be happy and loving you also are affectionate, supportive and a good listener. Blue is mostly, an all around nice and caring person. You want to help people. These two aren't closely related but they make up my personality and my personality is fun and wild but also caring and kind. I like to have fun but also have a side where I am calm and kind. These two colors mix together to for the most part make up my personality which is a combination of these.

True Colors

The 4 personality colors are blue, gold, green, and orange. They each represent a different personality, blue being calm, gold being a good person who is responsible and organized, green being smart and fun, and orange being wild and spontaneous. I think my teacher who is a blue, who is calm and kind would be Mrs. Pittenger, I think she is a green because she is always laid back, calm, and she is always kind and caring of her students. I picked Mrs. Wilson for a gold because she is a all around good person, she is always helping of her students to make sure they completely understand, she is also very responsible, and organized. For green, I picked Mr.Happ I picked him because he is a person who uses a lot of logic but also has a side that is fun. Lastly, I picked Mrs.Ogle as my orange because she is wild, spontaneous and fun, she is always giving out candy and letting us do fun things in homeroom, she is very laid back. As my friend for blue, I picked Sidney, I put this because she is very calm and caring for everyone around her, she likes to make everyone happy. For my gold, I think Lydia because she is always precise, she likes to be on time, but she has a fun wild side. For my green, I am putting Everett because he is very smart and uses logic all the time. for my orange, I think Shelby because she is wild and fun. She always makes people laugh and is always spontaneous and crazy!

Learning Styles

Recently, we have been looking at a website called careercrusing.com and we took a quiz on then which would give us a little information on what kind of learning style we were, the three styles that were possible to be were visual, auditory, and tactile learner. I was a auditory listener, which means that I learn best from hearing the information and talking about it. It means that a discussion in class could me remeber the material better. It impacts my learning because I am a good listener and when I hear the material I understand better. I might better myself if I take advantage of my style and listen closely in class, talk about the material and reading it aloud. I think this style fits me well becasue I feel when I hear things and talk about them I remember them better.

Human Service Career

Lately, we have been searching and learning information on career clusters in our class. Our latest cluster was human services, I searched up the two careers, a Health Educator and a Mental Health Counselors. A Health Educator is important, they provide and manage health education programs and identify community needs by using data that was collected they also assist individuals. A Mental Health Counselor does similar things including, works with individuals and groups to promote mental and emotional health they emphasize prevention they also help with addictions and substance abuse. These two careers, are very similar. These careers matter to me because I like how they both let you work with people oftenly and you get to help them make better choices for themselves and their community. I feel like both these careers make a large impact and help people make the better decisions.

STEM

I think the reason that STEM was chosen has become apparent now that we did the career cluster, it showed me that almost every career can some way be connected to STEM even if the relevancy is very low it almost always has a relevancy small or large. I think it was a good idea to do that because none of the other clusters are able to match up to so many careers like STEM does.
