Scary college degrees from a guy with three teacher certifications and massive inperson and online teaching experience from kindergarten, elementary, middle, high school, adult education the GED, HiSET, career coaching an overeducated guy who has had 100 jobs or more in education.

To accomplish my dreams of being a orthopedic surgeon I will work my hardest throughout high school and try my best to not give up. Although it’s going to take a lot of college and medical schooling, I’m willing to stay determined and not give up. I’ve been wanting to be a surgeon since I was young so I hope one day I can finally accomplish my dreams.

Incredible dream to be a doctor from student “Ash” over at a charter school in Arizona. I spoke to her and advised Ash to keep all her options, be open to change course and disappointment. Nevertheless, she has a bright future in any of the STEM fields. Look for Ash to blog about her determination to follow a medical career.

As a 15-year-old who wants to be a mechanic, I will start by learning as much as I can about cars. I’d take any automotive classes available at my high school and spend time reading repair manuals and watching tutorial videos online. I’d also try to get a part-time job or internship at a local auto repair shop like jiffy lube, so I can get hands-on experience and learn directly from experienced mechanics. This way, I can start understanding the basics of car engines, vehicle systems, and how to diagnose problems.
After high school, I would like enroll in a technical school or community college that offers an automotive technology program. These programs usually last about two years and provide in-depth training on car repair and maintenance. While studying, I’d work towards earning certifications from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), which are highly respected in the industry. By combining my hands-on experience, formal education, and certifications, I’d be well on my way to becoming a skilled mechanic.

Impressive reply from Aiden preparing for his future with a career in demand not taking on student loan debt for a college degree of dubious value but investing in hands-on-training and skills that will deliver a satisfying career with tremendous income potential. No need to stress and take the SAT instead through self-education and online videos Aiden will be amply prepared to enter any automotive repair and maintenance school. I look forward to hearing more from Aiden.
