Career planning and academic planning

my dream

when I was little years old, I thought that the greatest person

is teacher, because they know many things that I can’t understand at that time, therefore I want to become the person like teacher. As I grow older, I I knew, teacher is one kind of occupation, teacher possibly will also make mistakes, teacher will also have the thing that he/she do not understand, therefore my dream changes, I had my future to be a scientist, because I knew that teacher's knowledge comes from scientist, the most important is that I thought scientist know everything and with respection of many people. Among the people I knew, no one is scientist, I had wanted to become a unique person. And I understand clearly that to be a scientist is not easy. If a person wants to be a scientist, He/she needs to read many books, but my school score was not that well. Therefore I changed my dream once again, my anticipation of the future is to be a businessman, on the one hand I thought that I should take responsibility to the built up of my family, I realized that we need money to support a good life, this has also been the mine idea environment instilled to me. As far as I Know. I am not sure that I should to be a merchant or a teacher, in other words I have no idea of my future occupation. So I need to do the things below.

·Self assessment

I quit understood that the self assessment is very important to my occupation choices and life choices, I need to know what I want. every

people has a job that suits him/her, this is mainly relates with one’s own disposition and characteristic. In other words, the work he/she likes will possibly brings a certain sense of joy and creativity for himself/herself. I would like to analysis myself from the aspects below.

1、school experience

when I was in elementary school, my schoolwork is not good. Because I never open my mouth to answer the teacher's questions, therefore one teacher asked my parents to school to have a talk about my problem. but I thought that this should be the disposition reason, not the school record reason, I have tried my best. When I was in the junior middle school, my school record was in the first level among all classmates, so in the teacher’s evaluation actually I am a good student, but blame it on the junior middle school's knowledge, because I thought it is too easy, my memory of the middle school is all about friends and joy, no pressure, no sadness. When I was in the high school, specially in the last two years, I spent all my time on schoolwork, the time which I spent with my friends became shorter, but I do not mean that we have no social activity, to be honest, we gather together in the familiar place sometimes, but with fewer and fewer number later. Finally, we did not get together again, all our energy was fouced on study and preparation of College entrance examination. My high school's academic record is ok, I was expected to have the ability to entrance good university. Fortunately, as my willing, I pass into the College entrance examination, and went to Nanchang university with the major of education. I studied here four years, during this time, my academic record keep a stationary level. What worth mention is that I have joined some student organization which I interested, and profited

mush from them, for example, young volunteer association and Peers psychology counseling.

2、My change in the university

Here is mainly some ideas of myself, because after four years of university study, it must have something that I remember and obtained. I thought that my four years of university life have change mush of my dispositions, as I have said before, when I was in elementary school, I am too shy to speak to other people, even did not have courage to reply the teacher's question. Many people including my parents said that I have psychological problem. In the university, I found that the students around me are all very talkative, and are willing to make friends. therefore I try to join them, and spend my time among friends, no matter the person is I knew or never met. Then I started my first lecture, also started my first student cadre experience, these transformed me during four year. Therefore I can confidently say that I am dare to speak to any teacher, or make an extemporaneous speech before students now. That

is my change.

3、evaluation of my friends

Before writing this page, I had learned about myself in other people’s perspective. It mainly comes from two aspects, one is directly said to me face to face. The second is tell to me through friends indirectly. I feel both two evaluation should be considered, I think both of them are true. because all the evaluation are focused on one kind personality traits - I am a lively, talkative person, and is humorous. The negative evaluation is that I am too sensitive about people, is easy to make misunderstanding. But besides these, there are some people said that I am serious, in other words I can consider things more comprehensive. For these evaluations, I think, they are

all based on certain facts, so from these perspectives, I think I am a kind of this person!

4、 professional testing

As I have mentioned before, I had done many professional tests, some are formal, some are informal, because my major is education, I must learn some knowledge in this field. as I can easily use them, I remember that one of the most impressive career test is Holland professional test, the result told me, I am a kind of research person, in research field my score is 9, and the result said that I am suit for scientific researchers, teachers, engineers, computer programmers, doctors, systems analyst, etc, detail test results is listed below .

Graph 1: The result of Holland profession test(Chinese version)

Test result

Part one: professional personality types

I am not surprised about the test result, because I do not reject these professions, and the jobs above tend to bring a good income.

·Arrangements of my graduate time

My graduate time will only last two and a half years, and only one year to have classes, so the time will go faster than I expect, and make a reasonable arrangement can help me to use the time more effective. Here I'm going to separate it into three parts, first is my learning plan, second is academic program, and the third is development of other interests.

1、learning plan

As I have noted above, during the graduate life, most of the time will be arranged on my thesis and social practice, the time getting together to have classes is very few. so I think we need to make a

big change in my way of study, and that is to contact things initiatively, to learn and to do things which are my interests. Because works with no pressure is difficult to persevere for me, and I think the only thing that can let me persist is my interest to it. But many people said that, the interests can be developed, I think what I need to do now is to develop my professional interests. Of course, Detail plan in the first year is to have class earnestly, reading more books. My present condition is a book a week, I wish I can keep the habit to the end of semester, even to my worklife.

2、Academic program

As a graduate student, to have his/her own academic program is very important, otherwise it might bring many problems in the future of academic life. he/she would feel indecisive during the two years, and very confused. First, we need to determine an academic research target, should I engaged to my academic paper or to solve practical problems, the difference between these are very big. For me, it is certain that my academic program is to issue professional papers in famous professional magazine, like 、、, ect. At my year of grade one, that is now, I would try to write some professional thesis about Adult education. And consult to my teachers, make modification. At the second year of the graduate life, l will devote most of my time to my graduate thesis, and try to publish some part of it. In addition, I will also participate in the teachers' researches.

3、the development of other interests

Although no one request me to develop a interest, I will insist

it for myself, just because I like it. my interest is very wide, such as drawing, I have persist it for many years. At the graduate time, I need to learn play guitar, when I am a university student, I tried to learn it, but for the time is not allowed, the plan of learning

guitar was delayed down. now that I had the chance, I believe I will persist the plan, and learn it from beginning to the end. And now I have already started to learn guitar. Besides these, when I have time, I’d like play basketball, table tennis and other sports activities.

·career plan

Actually it is difficult to write an career plan for me, because I have never thought about this question before, or in other words, I do not know which job I most interested, I blame it to the environment I grow up, my parents arranged all my things for me, so I do not need to think about what will happen time, or which way I should choice. Till now, I must think it with serious attitude. And I want to describe it in three parts: the distance to my dream from reality; will I be a good teacher; some thought of changing my profession.

1、the distance to my dream from reality

As What I have said before, when I was small, my dream is to become a scientist, I think now that it is not a impossible ting to me, because I had know some scientists, they are not saint, they are ordinary people. Now, I have confidence to myself, but this scientist is not the scientist dreamed in my childhood. When I was a child, I thought the scientists are all in the laboratory and doing experiments, or to make inventions like Edison. And now I understand the definition of the scientists, including humanities social investigation scholars, perhaps I may be such kind of person.

2、will I be a good teacher？

The reality told me, may be in the future, I will likely to be an university teacher, although I want to have a better choice in the underneath of my heart. but I also don't reject such a career. So now I had to ask myself such a question, would I be a qualified teacher. First I had to admitted that I like to stay with teachers and students, because I like to have talk with them about some original ideal and discipline. I do not know is this a normal thing for a university teacher. But I quit know that I am a lazy man. I don't

like writing papers, don't like reading magazines, would it become an obstacle for me to be a good university teacher? I can’t make sure about it. I have fewer original ideals now, so I do not know if I am suitable to go such a way, things maybe is more difficult than I thought before.

3、some thought of changing my profession

The knowledge I accepted told me, it is not an inglorious things to change jobs, and I now deeply believe that changing job will make more benefit rather than disadvantages. so, you're right, I'll think about switching jobs, and choose things that I like to do. It is not to say that I'm a unreliable man. maybe this will bring me some trouble during my worklife, but it is my personality, I do not care, and I will not change it. If I can choose my profession, I would like to be a businessman, because in my eyes, businessmen have more freedoms, including time, rich and wisdom, That is what I want to be.

·what I need to do next

Every ideal need to be practiced, every dream need to have first step. I have many things to do this semester. If you ask me what

“tell us something about these two years, what you want to do, what you need to do”. I answer the questions below. It is mainly about three things.

1、learning English

"English is very important", teachers told us this view probably from junior middle school, until now, teachers said the same thing, times are changing, with the development of society, but "English is very important" is the fact that won't change. I am very regret in this aspect, my teacher always told me that my English is not good,

if I want to get higher score ,I need to spend more time on it. In the class, most students are better than me in English. And I feel it is very hard to read English articles. So I decided to learn English with my best effort, while I am still in school. I have advantage compared to those who are working. My friends told me, while I am out of school, I may feel that in the society, to know a foreign language is such an important thing. because the information is exchanging more and more quickly now, and most international information are written in English. There are many ways to learn English, the most important is to study hard after class, Attitude decide result, for example, I can get up at 7am, and read English loudly around lake. I know that these are very important, it can cultivate my feel of English. But beside this, I will also need to have a reasonable plan.

2、 Reading books

Book is the ladder of mankind’s advance, with the technology developed, the velocity of people's living is speeding up. More and more people choose to view news and get information from Internet or watching TV. Although sometimes it is convenient, but I think reading paper books is a good habit which should be insisted. The books should not be limited in one professional field, I think everything that you are interested can have reading. When reading professional books, you should take notes careful and thinking more, spending more energy. They are many things that I am interested, including physics, biology and literature. In addition to this, a strict reading plan is very necessary, for example, now I request myself to finish reading at least one book in a week at least, I think it will do a bit help to me.

3、study Professional frontier

I once thought my major -- Adult education has a dim prospect, after half a year study here, I became very optimistic about the Adult education. As we all know, people have more leisure time now, they will be willing to spend time and money on education, including entertainment. These phenomenon reveal the future of my professional.

I believe Adult education will have more people’s attention. This is also the motive power of my study. I am willing to attend the Adult education annual meeting, to do survey on this field, to write papers on the development of Adult education, and I need to browsing professional journal. It takes time for me to adapted to the so-

called academic career. Of course, I need to believe that it is the thing I must to do.

·improve myself

To practice my own academic plans and career plan, I must change something from now on, if I continue to keep the living customs and life rhythm, I would never reach my goal. And my plan must be ruin out of, all my word before is just a paper. The things I must do to improved myself have no time limit, but in my future life, it will play a very important role, there is a saying "habit decide everything", so I feel that I must form a good study habit, and from a good foundation in my future career.

1、lazy

All people know me said that I am very lazy, although I am very active, my problem is that I am not willing to do things. For example, I'm too lazy to eat breakfast, don't like to go to class, or do not like to waste time to have a walk, as for the teacher’s task, if I have my own choice, I will certainly not write, in other words, I will try my best to escape it. I know a person who has achievements cherish his/her time very mush, he/she may think time is life, so I

need to make some improvements in this aspect. For example, if I get up an hour earlier every morning, then I would have 30 hours more than other people in a month, you know, I can do many things in 30 hours, that is enough to finish reading a book. I have already find a solution to deal with my lazy problem. That is have my time full arranged, giving myself many tasks, and ask my classmate to supervise me, so that I can learn to do more things in limited time gradually. For example, I now have to learn Japanese, learning to play the guitar, drawing and so on, these things need to be insisted everyday.

2、get along with people

How to get along with people is an very important skill, in the future work life, interpersonal skills accounted for a large proportion. Now my situation is I may let a person make misunderstanding about my word, and it happed quit often. the main reason is because I like to make jock with friends, but sometimes I couldn't control my feeling, and will have some inappropriate jokes, let a person misunderstand that what I said is true. In addition, about my interpersonal performance, I always appears not so serious, give person a kind of feel that I can't be trusted, I think this is caused by the impression I left to other people everyday. The improvement I need to do in this aspect is that I must do things before a carefully consideration, and control my mouth. The most important thing is that when doing things, I need to stand at the other people’s point, learn to suppose things that may happen as a result. Beside this, I need to accumulate experience from mistakes continually.

3、 a modest attitude

A few months before, I have a thought that I had made some achievements, and I am a example of other students. because my university score can reach eight (ten is the highest score), so the study result let me feel that I am an excellent student. But when I begin my postgraduate stage, I found that the students around me can easily tell the details of the second world war, can analysis Marx's religion point, tell the publish time of an article based on his/her knowledge, I think this are difficult things, at least I can't do it, because I will forget the writer of the book when I finished reading it, I have a bad memory. From now on I must change my attitude towards classmate and teacher. I must accept knowledge always with a modest heart, and accept the ideals from classmates and teachers. Somebody said that "only an empty cup can hold water", I need to give up my arrogance heart, which is very important to my attitude and future life.

My academic development pyramid

First year: reading books that I am interested, have classes, do social activity, try to write some article in my field.

As the pyramid described before, I need to determine an academic research target. At my year of grade one, that is now, I would try to write some professional thesis about Adult education. And consult to my teachers, make modification. At the second year of the graduate life, l will devote most of my time to my graduate thesis, and try to publish some part of it. In addition, I will also participate in the teachers' researches.

Although the pyramid so perfect, and seem reasonable, The reality told me, in the future, I will most likely to be an university teacher, I don't reject such a career. First I had to admitted that I like to stay with teachers and students, because I like to have talk with them about some original ideal and discipline. I do not know is this a normal thing for a university teacher. But I quit know that I am a lazy man. I don't like writing papers, don't like reading

magazines, would it become an obstacle for me to be a good university teacher? I can’t make sure about it.

The end words

Although I have already write my academic plan and career plan now, I do not think I will make no change about it. For example, if my parents insist, I may give up my school life, and work to earn money. Plan is a line I graph for myself, plan is a way I want to go, but you know, things happen without your expectation. We have to make preparation for the new life.

Now, I look back for my university year, I found that the time is very fast, just like a day, you can not get mush memory unless you have do something that may benefit your future. We need to cherish our time, if we enter the society after graduate, all our energy will be spend on the job, little time will be left on reading book, the experience in university is very important, make a good plan will help us to mange it rationally. This will also have a big influence to the way of mange our future life.
