Reflection:
In this assignment I was prompted to do research on a career that I would be interested in pursuing after college, by reading a book dedicated to the profession, and by interviewing a professional in the field.
I have struggled with the career question since freshman year. I consider myself a humanitarian first, then an artist. But what mediums should I use? The exercise helped me to understand more of myself and my aspirations through speaking with someone who I found to be a kindred spirit. I also learned more about a definitive career path (or “medium”), which is social entrepreneurship. The book Forces for Good was a great read, and gave me a lot of insight into the field.
If I could improve this essay, I would, by fixing grammatical errors, and enhancing the style and organization of delivery.
