Generation Futures - Future professional career Jamboard
Hi everyone, my name is Shilah Hang (SHY-LAH), I am a 9th grader that goes to Community School of Excellence. I attend Generation Futures with Spark-Y, which is a wonderful program that can help you with your future. For example, they help us write a resume, set goals for ourselves, and job search. Generation Future is a great start for learning how to get a job. They have great leaders to help guide us to success. I joined Generation Future because I want to learn how to find a job for myself. I wanted to be able to write a resume to help me get a job without being confused about how to write one. I want to start off my career with good help from great teachers.
One lesson I enjoyed and learned from at Generation Futures, is how to job search. It was my first time job searching because it was something I've never tried doing. I was very excited and it was interesting to see all different kinds of jobs there are. What I learned from this experience is that it is hard to start a career with your dream job immediately because you need experience. You can start with a job that is a good start and then work your way up to your goal. One of the Generation Future leaders, named Kata (Spark-Y Education Director), said before she worked at Spark-Y, she was working as an educator on a boat and then she came to Spark-Y and is now helping people like me. This is a great experience and is a great opportunity. It was cool to hear all the different jobs the leaders had before working at their current job. I have met wonderful people. I highly recommended joining a program like this, trust me it will really help you.
My dream job is doing music. I want to do music because it is always something I wanted to do. I want to sing, write, play all kinds of instruments, and produce music. What I learned from Spark-Y is that I could start off on an entry level job and work my way up to what I want to do. I learn to set a goal for myself if I want to do music. It benefits me to motivate myself to try harder and never give up. It benefits me if I can find a job easily and when I need help I can email one of the teachers. Getting this experience is important because finding help like this is hard. Sometimes you might struggle and might not know what to do. It is important that I experienced it because the teachers have shown me ways to get experience so I can start to achieve my goals.
