Part IV: Your Career Plan

In a complete paragraph, explain:
1) What career you are most interested in and why
2) Which career path you will pursue to enter this career
3) What you can/need to do while still in high school to prepare for this career and career path?
I am most interested in Digital Design and Media Art. I want to become a graphic designer. I can
prepare for this career in high school by taking art classes. I have taken every art class available. I can also
take computer art classes. I have taken graphic design, motion graphics and plan to take photography.

Parv V: Backup Plan

In a complete paragraph, explain what you can do if your plan does not work out. Consider the worst-case
scenarios: what if your parents lose their jobs and cannot help you pay for school? What if college turns out to
be more difficult than you thought and you fail? What if your family member(s) get sick and you have to help
take care of them, rather than pursuing your goals?
In the worst case scenario I will go straight into the military with no further education. I can get
education while I serve. By serving I will also get paid. I could support my family if need be. I am prepared for
any situation that could come my way.
