My reflection

 For the past 6 weeks I have been working on my career choice trying to identify which is better in my opinion and so we started off with our  three top careers that we really wanted to do and then we moved on to choosing which would be the best for our capabilities and I of course chose to learn about law to become a lawyer. Then for 1 week we had to prepare and record an interview spiel to state facts about ourselves  and our own capabilities.

Since covid lockdown started I have never felt so free from overloading on school work in forever, I can finally do my school work at my own pace and get it  done quicker.

I think the most challenging thing about doing all of these activities was trying to choose which career suited me best and digging deep to find out more about myself because I have never been asked so many questions about myself and what I can handle. The easiest part about this whole career business is that I can now prepare for what kind of job I want in the future.

Interview Spiel

 Kia ora my name is Havahna I am a year 10 student at the college known as Bay Of Islands, I am also 14 year of age which makes me the second youngest sibling out of 7. I have  plenty of hobbies and interests including dance, cooking, arts and crafts, painting and swimming. I may not have a lot of work experience but I have a few at least and those are babysitting, farming and filing papers. I think that a skill that I took away from each of these experiences was how to carry a sheep without hurting yourself or the animals, practical child care techniques, how to sort papers into  the correct files and how to put up a fence. Skills that I specially uphold are knowing how to cook proper meals, knowing how to clean thoroughly, I also know how to fix a few broken things and I am pretty good at looking after myself. Some values that I cherish everyday are doing things without being told, respecting the elders even just by giving them a smile and my family, friends, cousins, parents just everyone. Some of my past achievements may not be the best. I think that they bring out the best of my capabilities like the digital award was awarded to me twice, the attendance award for 97%, a consistent effort award and a responsible award was also awarded to me twice. Some goals that I hope to achieve are to learn new skills, meet new people, experience different jobs and interact with anyone. Some strengths that I know that I have is reading, which is one of my biggest strengths, I always show up. I never not show up because being late is better than never and I always try to get the work done on time. I think some of my biggest weaknesses to work on will have to be my grammar, communication skills, presentation skills and taking up bigger challenges.
