Career planning is not an activity that should be done once in high school or college and then left behind as we move forward in our jobs and careers. Career planning is not a hard activity, not something to be dreaded or put off, but rather an activity that should be liberating and fulfilling, providing goals to achieve in your current career or plans for beginning a transition to a new career. Try to block out all distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your career what you really want out of your career, out of your life. One of your first activities whenever you take on career planning is spending time mapping out your job and career path since the last time you did any sort of career planning. If your job and career still fall mostly in the like column, then you know you are still on the right path; however, if your job activities fall mostly in the dislike column, now is the time to begin examining new jobs and new careers.

my misson statement
My passion for child care began when I was eleven. My sister was just born and I enjoyed taking are of her. It was then when I knew that I wanted to work with children.
After high school I will gain employment in a child daycare facility. I also plan to attend College Of DuPage and get a 2-year degree, majoring in childcare. Afterward, I will transfer to a 4-year college to receive my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education.
My goal is to get a job as a teacher’s aid and live in an apartment on my own or with my friends. I am very dependable in everything I do. I have a lot of patience and I am a good listener. I have a high ability to multi-task. I have some experience in the childcare setting. I am honest and trustworthy. I am excited to begin my journey toward my career.
