Career Cruising:
The website seems to be acting uncooperative right now, unfortunately. I tried to look for other career quizzes, but none seemed very helpful nor very accurate. So I looked at the results I got on the quiz done in April. I had taken the quiz last Friday and I do remember most of the results. They weren't much different than the results from April.
The results both times were mainly careers in science. My top three last Friday were Nuclear Engineer, Meteorologist, and Materials/Metallurgical Engineer. The rest, both times,were all careers in physics, chemistry, and astronomy. Finally, at around number 10 on the list was music teacher and musician. I think the results were very accurate because the two things I love to do most are science and music.

My Vision Board
The Heroes
Neil deGrasse Tyson: I chose Neil deGrasse Tyson as one of my heroes because he promotes scientific literacy. He believes in keeping people informed about science and physics and the universe, believing that ignorance is our greatest enemy as a society. I respect him because instead of just sitting in a lab doing experiments and writing equations, he’s promoting the sciences and becoming a public figure.
John Green: One of the reasons I chose John Green for my vision board is that he makes being nerdy cool! He is an author, but he is also into studying history and religion. I love to watch his videos on YouTube and he gives great advice. He and his brother also run charities to “Decrease WorldSuck.” John is an incredible writer and is amazing as communicating his ideas. I may not want to be an author when I’m older, but I do like to write, especially fiction, and I admire his skill.
Henry Reich: Henry Reich is the creator of the YouTube channel, MinutePhysics. I chose to put him on my vision board as one of my heroes because he was just a guy who liked physics and wanted other people to like it too, and because of this he gained a lot of popularity! He gets paid to talk about what he loves and express science concepts in a creative way. For a long time, he worked at the Perimeter Institute, which would be an absolute dream!
Stephen Hawking: I’ve always admired Stephen Hawking’s ideas about the universe and our purpose for being here. He is a highly respected scientist and continues to communicate his thoughts despite his handicap. I am fascinated by what he has said about time travel and would love to hear more of what he has to say on the topic.
Chris Hadfield: I put Chris Hadfield on my vision board because of his love for space and how he has done wonderfully representing Canada! Now, I don’t plan on going into space when I’m older, but I might end up in astronomy and working with similar technology. I just think he’s really, really (for lack of a better word) cool!
Josh Ramsay: I know that Josh Ramsay has had a bit of a rough past, but that hasn’t stopped him. I love that regardless of some bad choices he’s made, he keeps moving forward and keeps going further with his music career. He can play nine (soon to be ten) instruments and I just wish I could do that. Maybe I will someday. I love how he’s good hearted and really sweet to everyone he meets and makes a point to give his appreciation to fans and everything. I know plenty of people would think he’s just a typical celebrity but I know he’s more than that and that’s why he’s one of my heroes.
The Rest
For the rest of my vision board, I just wanted to express that when I do grow up, I hope I’m still interested in both science and music. I want to be safe and happy. I’d like to have people look up to me and want to work with me. I hope to either live by a beach or have a nice house in a bigger city. I want to have enough money for the basics, plus some more for fun. I’m not the type to wish I had a trillion dollars because then nothing is special. Finally, even when I’m older, I want to have pets.
