Reflection (17/11/20)

The Holland code test gave the result that I was most social and enterprising. I think that this resonates with me because I have always been more of a social person and see myself working in a job with other people. Something surprising for me was the enterprising aspect because I have never been interested in the business side of things and I’ve never considered myself a money person, I’ve considered myself more of a realistic person. Some career paths that were suggested was being a teacher, working in HR for a company or being a judge/lawyer. Although I could see myself working in some of these fields but it would need to have some social aspect to it where I could engage with others whilst also having the luxury of feeling like I have a work/life balance.

What do you wish your teachers and peers knew more about you?

Something that I wish people knew about me is that I’m quite sentimental. Over the years I have moved schools a lot and when you move a lot it was sort of as if I was starting a new life every one-to-two years. As a result of that I have come to cherish the ones around me a lot more than I used to. I think that not many people know this about me because it’s very hard to be outright sentimental but I do tend to appreciate the moments I get with my family and friends more as I get older. I’m also quite sentimental because I have friends who I’ve known since I was 11 or 12 yet I haven’t seen them for four years yet we still talk everyday and I think that this contributes a lot to know that you always have people even if you don’t see them everyday. When I’m older I want to be able to look back at my school years and be happy about the people I surrounded myself with.
