Finding your path can be a journey, and it's okay not to have all the answers right away. Consider your interests, strengths, and what excites you. Sometimes, unexpected opportunities arise that lead to fulfilling careers. Embrace the process of self-discovery and explore different options. Remember, there's no rush to have everything figured out – your unique journey will unfold in its own time.

Be the best you, I know it’s cheesy but it’s true. You don’t need to compare yourself to others, you just need to be someone you’re happy being. There’s only one you after all.

Determining what you should be in terms of career or life is personal and takes process. I want to start off by saying it's okay if finding your path takes time. Be patient with yourself, stay open to possibilities, and you'll definitely have a fulfilling direction.
Here are some steps you can do to give you a head start:
1. Self-exploration: Consider your interests, hobbies, and joyful pursuits. Think about your strengths and your inherent abilities.
2. Be Curious: List any topics or professions that actually interest you under interests. Research topics in which you are interested and want to learn more.
3. Set objectives: Specify both short- and long-term objectives for your professional and personal lives. These objectives will direct your choices and keep you on track.
Good luck with your journey!

Hello there,
The most empowering suggestion I can share with you is to discover your passion. During your school journey, identify what subject truly captivates your interest. Remember, it's perfectly okay if your interests evolve over time. To share a personal anecdote, I've always been fascinated by science. However, my specific interests within this broad field have shifted. I once dreamt of exploring the ocean's depths as a marine biologist, then considered aiding people's recovery as a physical therapist, and now, I am drawn towards the intricate world of ultrasound sonography. There's no need to feel overwhelmed. Once you find that core subject that truly sparks your curiosity, you can explore various specializations within it. I wish you all the best in your quest for knowledge!

Hi Anissa!
I really think business is a great field to go into since it keeps your options wide open. That way you are not committing to one specific field and find out later that you hate it. Some fields in business include:
1. Operations
2. Finance
3. Sales
4. Marketing
5. Human Resources
I decided to go into Business Operations since operations touches almost every facet of the organization. I enjoy the different challenges and operations also gives me the flexibility to try new things. Another great aspect about operations is they usually support the other divisions of an organization. Since, there are many divisions of an company if you do not enjoy one area its not a big deal since you can support other areas of the business.
Many larger companies will start you in a rotational analyst program. By doing this you will get to see usually 2-4 different sections of the business. Companies offer this to not only help you hone in on your career path but many companies have realized that if there employees actually enjoy their job they will get better overall performance.

Think about something that puts you in awe and choose to pursue it. I'd say this could be anything besides music, because music is not a responsible world to be in. I say this cause I have your best interest in mind. Remember- you can be anything you want to be up until the age 25, but it should be something you'll forever be happy about. Know that you can touch the hearts of the masses, or simply effect one person at a time. Also know you're limitless if you narrow it down and focus now, and because you're so young, you don't have to be subject to distractions.
