In the readings of David, and Eddie, I am much ,like both of them. I was afraid to get started, or once I made up my mind to get started, I didn’t know where to start from registering for classing or knowing how to manage my time in order to start my educational goals. I at one time wanted to work in the Cosmetology field. However, after a fall, in the winter of 2009,I had to have surgery done on my wrist. I then had to give up the option on being a cosmetologist. that was a turning point for me. For the first time in my life i didnt really have any idea where or what I wanted to do with my life. A time that i have had a learning situation was in high school with the ACT test. The reason, I believe I was not able to succeed, is solely one thing. Myself. I am not one to take standardized tests. I over think them, I think on to the next question and I can't slow down and think about what the problem is asking me. I have been this way my whole life. I am, however, looking for a new way to get out of this hobia and be able to learn and remember and comprehend what information is given to me. …show more content…
I panic when I know that its going to be a test that could affect things for me for the rest of my life, the jobs I get, the places for school I apply to. It could even be the small things like knowing that a test could be a pass or fail. Knowing that in the back of my head make me concerned as i know there is that much more pressure on me to do well. Sometimes being in your own mind, is more of a burden then a
Applying to college can be a daunting experience, particularly for one whose academic career was interrupted during high school. However, it was this interruption, and what followed, that has allowed me to set goals for myself, both academically and professionally. Having been in psychiatric hospitals and dealing with mental health conditions, I have witnessed firsthand how those with mental illnesses and emotional difficulties are among the most underserved in our society. My goal in life is to make a difference to someone that is struggling, much like I have. I plan to reach this goal by earning a degree in psychology, and pursuing a professional career as a mental health counselor.
“You haven't done so well with passing classes and that’s an issue, you have a decision to make, you can either stay at lakewood and not graduate on time, or you can move to an alternative school to make up the credits you need.” The words that no high school student want to hear. As a high school student, school was not my best interest. Yes, i can say that i was interested and determined to get done with my high school year and go to college and continue to persuade my dream in either becoming a cosmetologist or become in the culinary fields, but that didn’t go as planned. As the days go by everything becomes a challenge, School work gets harder along with the classes, also understanding everything that you learn even gets harder. Most people
There are a lot of steps in getting education and training for a career in Cosmetology. The minimum education level required for this career is postsecondary training. There is no such thing as maximum training in cosmetology because a person can keep training after receiving the credentials necessary to start a career in cosmetology. ‘Cosmetology programs generally grant certificates, diplomas or associate's degrees, rather than bachelor's degrees’ (Bachelor’s). All the education necessary is a high school diploma, cosmetology diploma, and a certificate or associate's degree program. The education needed for cosmetology can range anywhere from 9 months to 2 years. The minimal amount for this education in cosmetology is from $5,000 to $10,000. Attending a top beauty school however can range anywhere
Before I graduated from high school, I devised a five year plan for myself. First, I would attend SUNY Albany to obtain a degree in business. Then, I would attend a cosmetology school, acquire the 1,000 hours needed to take my state board exams, take those exams to finally secure my cosmetology license. All of this would eventually lead to opening my own salon in the future. About a month before my graduation, an ambulance bolted my mom to the hospital.
Cosmetology is the general work on others hair and skin. The area of cosmetology I am going for is hair. I find working on other people’s hair fun and interesting. Makeup and nails are other areas of interest for me. I am going to be studying cosmetology to become licensed as an entrepreneur for hair, makeup, and helping to make the lives of others better. It is important to understand the education or training requirements, skills or training, salary and benefits offered, and the duties for a particular career when making this decision.
In order to become a cosmetologist, I will have to take certain steps. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, I must graduate from a state-licensed barber or cosmetology school.

There are some states that will allow enrollment at the age of 16.After I have graduated from a state-approved training I will be required to take a test.The test will be a written test and/or in some cases it may be a test of styling skills or an oral exam. As a Cosmetologist, I must have the creativity for the styling and ideal part. Customer service skills are must have skills to have for
A survey certified that average women spend about $13,000 on makeup in her life time. Not only that, but also spend 300 hours applying it. Beauty tends to increase the self esteem of women, they think more positive of themselves. Along with that like anything else cosmetology has revolutionized throughout the years. Cosmetology has played an important role in lives of women, it does not only represent beauty, but also self confidence.
The greatest accomplishment in my life thus far has been graduating high school. Academics has always been very significant to me. Neither my Mother or my Father graduated from high school and they have always encouraged me to receive my diploma. with the diploma came pride, being the first person in my family to get a higher education and knowing I'm one step closer to my career.
Cosmetology is the study and application of beauty treatment. Branches of specialty includes hairstyling, skin care, cosmetics, manicures/pedicures. And a Fine Artists are artists that include painters, sculptors, and illustrators. In fine arts I would be doing painting/ body painting. For schooling I would love to go to University of Arizona or Eastern Arizona Collage. I have wanted to go to U of Arizona since I was 10. Eastern Arizona Collage offers the cosmetology class I need and University of Arizona has the Fine arts class I need. A lot of people have an interest in arts or something of the field. But the whole arts, makeup, and hair has been my escape from reality when ever I'm having a hard time at school or even in life. I've been doing (cutting and coloring) my own hair and doing my own makeup for 4 years. I have done other peoples hair and makeup before and gotten nothing but positive feed back. School will cost money so, I am going to be applying for scholarships.
High schools around the United States should provide students who are willing to pursue their cosmetology careers an opportunity to earn their licenses. Starting from their junior year until they graduated high school.
Test anxiety is a very common trait that occurs in many people. You have spent weeks studying for the examination, covered every single topic and read every single material having to deal with the upcoming exam. You walk into the classroom, sit down, and retrieve all your materials that you need. The instructor hands out your exam and gives everyone the confirmation to begin. You open up the exam and start reading the first question, hoping to be familiar with the subject. As you read question after question, you realize that you can't recall the answers to anything that you have just read. According to Salend (2011), this is the time that "you start to panic, your chest gets tight, you get sweaty, you start feeling overwhelmed" (p. 58). Many students suffer from this type of anxiety when it comes to taking examinations that can hinder their performance and well being. Proper studying and adequate preparation can help students overcome test anxiety and help improve their performance. Employing
Why are magazines that specialize in fashion particularly useful for cosmetologists?beauty magazines are another great way of information about what people will be looking for in next season trend. Providing good customer service is knowing what’s trending and being able to tell clients about what looks and treatments that are popular.
In the world of cosmetology the trends and styles are always changing, this is one of the main key factors to how public relations help you to be a successful cosmetologist within your own business and can prove to be important to having a relationship with the local cosmetology schools within your surrounding areas. It is also great to have diversity in a salon. I find that while in cosmetology school, I met so many different talented individuals. We all had our own unique style and ways of making a certain style our very own. We’d call it “Putting an old spin on a classic.” Now that I have my own spa, it is vital that I reach out to the local cosmetology schools. I will do my best to make the community notice that I love and care about current
I was given the name Stephanie Denise Hanthorn in February of the year 1992. I was born and raised on the Oregon coast and have always loved living by the beach. I’m a mom to a four legged furry creature named Roo Elvis who I adopted from the Oregon Humane Society about three years ago. I spend a lot of my time either hanging out with my dog, family or binge watching tv shows. I love to travel, take pictures, and try new foods. I’m a huge Seahawks football fan, but for the most part I love all things sports. In the past couple months I have started avidly watching youtube videos. I spend all of time watching videos on beauty —(hair, makeup, nail designs), how to’s and families that video blog their lives. Which I’ve recently thought I would be interested in doing is to video blog my own life. I think it would be cool to show people that you can accomplish anything you put your mind too and no matter when you want you can always start something new.
During my first year of high school, I faced an enormous challenge, which was test anxiety.I have always felt nervous about exams of any kind beforehand. However, in high school, it increased dramatically because of how much a test can influence your grade. This became very frustrating because the day before a test, I will freak out and think that I have forgotten everything about the upcoming exam. I will choke and feel paralyzed, such as not being to think anything. I absolutely had to find a solution to this problem due to the stakes on the line.
