Reflection on My Career Research report in CLE 10

Curricular Competency Reflection

My chosen careers were:

  1. Air Traffic Controller
  2. Commercial Pilot

The reason I chose these careers is because I have been interested in this field of work for around 3-4 years now, and these are 2 careers I am very interested in, and I do a lot of work for them at home and outside of school, so they made the most sense to pick for this project.

The takeaways for me after doing all of the research on the careers was that it was hard to find some salaries, as they weren’t publicly available, and also trying to find the length of the programs, as for the flight schools (commercial pilot), there isn’t really a set number of years that it takes, it varies between people.

The education programs that I am most interested in right now are: Any flight school or anything related to the aviation field.

I am very ready to start this journey, I am in the process of getting my flying licenses, and I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to this field. When it comes to how ready I am for this career path, I am very ready, as I have done a lot of prior research over the past 4 years. I can prepare myself by doing more research, and always gaining more knowledge.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in: anything digital, or anything that can be done in an online fashion.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take a quick walk or just a quick break from the work to re focus.

Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are: being respectful and understanding, always trying to advocate for peoples needs, etc.

Science 10 – Energy Bid Project

My Project

Core Competency Reflection

An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is when we were doing the research for the project, and I really got into learning about hydropower and how it works.

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include doing a lot of research when I have the time to, only googling specific ideas/one idea at once, not multiple ideas all at one time.

Communication

Evidence that I can acquire information about complex and specialized topics from various sources, synthesize it, and present it with thoughtful analysis can be found in…

The reason I am working towards this goal is because I can’t really show how I collected the evidence as much as I can show the evidence.

CPR Reflection

My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

a. What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before? 

That CPR is so tiring, I thought it was way easier.

b. What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit?

One key takeaway that I had from this unit is I know how to do CPR and use an AED in a safe and proper manner.

c. How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously? 

Because if you eat unhealthy every day (eating stuff like candy and chips and pop and bad stuff like that), then it could lead to heart failure, which requires using an AED or doing CPR on a person.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in when I was using the AED.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I will take a walk for a couple mins before returning to class. I do this because it takes me away from the really stressful situations, and sort of helps me reset my mind.

One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was when I was thinking about just how easily someone’s heart can stop/fail, and that I could be put in this position at any given time of day.
