The profession that I choose

1. Our childhood dreams.

2. Choosing a profession is an important step for a person:

A) all professions are important;

B) know yourself.

3. The right choice is the key to a happy life.

To live your life happily, you need to immerse yourself in what you love, then there will be no time to think whether you are happy or not.

J.B. Shaw Many of us think about choosing a profession as children. We like famous people and we want to be like them. We imagine ourselves as a doctor or a famous journalist, lawyer or popular artist, sometimes we even dream of being a president. We often want to be like mom or dad. With age, our views change: not all the professions we dreamed of suit us. We look at the world more realistically and understand that our future depends on what profession we choose.

Choosing a profession is one of the most crucial moments in our lives. There are many professions in the world, but somewhere there is only one, yours. They believe that someone who goes to work with pleasure in the morning and returns home with joy in the evening is happy. This is why it is so important to choose the right profession. How to find her? How not to make a mistake? There are many necessary professions - prestigious ones and those that are not, but all professions are needed in life.

Let's take the service sector professions. For some they cause a disdainful smile. But, for example, we encounter the work of a salesperson or a cook very often and we don’t even notice how much depends on these people. Of course, the profession of a cook requires skill and art, but few of us consider this profession to be prestigious, because they believe that anyone can learn to cook. But, unfortunately, not many people know how to cook a truly delicious lunch. You need to have talent to become a good cook and prepare extraordinary dishes from ordinary products. A skilled cook is called a culinary specialist. The French gastronome Savarin believed that “you can become a cook, but you have to be born a cook.”

Cooking is a whole science, and among the ancient Greeks it was considered one of the arts. Probably, any person, if he is in love with his work and does it creatively, “with soul,” can consider his profession an art. And it cannot be argued that some professions are more important, while others can be dispensed with. All professions are needed. The main thing is to choose the one you like.

The world of professions is large. It includes a huge number of specialties. And each of us faces a choice. We doubt, consult, make mistakes, listen to the opinions of parents, teachers, acquaintances, friends. The final word, as a rule, remains with the parents. Of course, you need to choose what you like, where you can express yourself. When choosing a profession, attention is also paid to the opportunity to get a good job in a particular specialty with a decent salary.

When we think about who to be, we must not forget that every profession has its own requirements for a person. It happens that you like a profession, but for health reasons it is contraindicated. Different types of work require different character traits from a person. So, for example, someone who is impatient and intemperate, who cannot get along with people, will not become a good teacher. A fussy and forgetful person should not choose the profession of a surgeon. A number of professions require the ability to quickly make decisions and organize people. Unfortunately, at a young age it is not always possible to understand your abilities and make the right choice.

It is not easy for any person, no matter how old he is, to answer “yes” or “no” quickly enough, because the most difficult thing for a person is to make a choice. Our future life depends on this choice. Therefore, the choice of profession must be approached with great responsibility. You just need to take a closer look at yourself and really evaluate your abilities, desires, and interests. Be sure to listen to the opinions of your elders, and then make a decision on which your future life depends.

Throughout our lives we constantly have to choose something. Starting from ordinary daily questions and ending with global problems. The two most important choices that every person makes in his life are the choice of a partner and his future profession.

Probably each of us has asked the question: “Who do I want to become?” This question is one of the most difficult. Indeed, there are so many professions, but you have to choose one! And you need to make the right choice in order to then enjoy what you do. However, sooner or later everyone begins to realize what they would like to do throughout their lives.

I'm in ninth grade, but the question of choosing a profession worries me very much. for a long time. From an early age I dreamed of being an astronaut, a doctor, an actress...

I remember how I dreamed as a child of becoming a veterinarian and treating animals. I brought home almost every kitten I liked and fed stray puppies. A little later I realized that it is not so simple!

The second profession that I have been passionate about for many years is the profession of a teacher. To be more precise, teachers of Russian language and literature. I really liked the lessons of my teacher, Tatyana Nikolaevna: she presented the material in an interesting way and assigned unusual homework. And she always praised everyone who tried. Maybe that’s why I fell in love with the Russian language and literature so much. Afterwards I realized that a teacher is not only an interesting, but also a very difficult profession! There are about thirty people in one class, and each one needs to be treated with a special approach. What if there are several classes? Then the work is even more difficult! And if you consider that you need to prepare for each lesson, fill out various papers... Yes, it’s difficult for our teachers.

My dad works as an engineer, but he is not very happy with his profession. He often tells me that as a child he had a dream - to draw. But his parents forbade him from this activity, saying that it was unlikely that he would find a place for himself with such a profession.

My mother chose her profession, also relying on the opinion of her elders. She dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but her parents advised her to become a doctor. And my mother didn’t mind, because she always dreamed of helping people!

Yes, parents play an important role in our destiny, but we must choose. After all, it’s up to us to study and work in our chosen specialty.

To be honest, I still haven’t been able to choose who I want to become. But I have several options: psychology and journalism. What attracts me to these professions? I'll tell you now.

I became interested in psychology at the age of twelve. Then, for the first time in my life, I went to a summer camp, where I met a very interesting woman. This was our psychologist, and she did all kinds of games and tests with us every Tuesday. I absolutely loved analyzing life situations, looking at people and their actions differently. But most importantly, I liked listening to others and helping them. After all, sometimes it is important to look at the situation from a different angle! This is where a psychologist can help. Believing that a psychologist will solve all your problems is wrong. The psychologist will only analyze your story and give advice, but you will solve your problems yourself. Anyone who decides to become a psychologist must be able to listen to others. Nowadays, not everyone can boast of listening skills! But how important it can be.

The profession of a psychologist still attracts me, but various doubts hinder me. A small salary, frequent emotional stress, living with other people's problems - these are not all the possible disadvantages of this profession. Of course, there are more advantages - communication with people, moral satisfaction, personal growth and so on. The profession of a psychologist is one of the most popular today.

Another profession that attracts me is journalism. For as long as I can remember, I have always loved reading and writing. I learned to read quite early and read everything: newspaper articles, children's poems, signs on doors, detective stories, fairy tales. At the age of twelve, I had already read more than half of the books in the school library! Of course, after reading so much literature, I wanted to write something myself! I didn't like short stories because they didn't seem completely finished to me. So I decided to write my own “novel”. Honestly, re-reading my work now, I understand how naive it was. However, the “novel” I wrote at twelve consisted of thirty chapters!

I was always writing something. Personal diaries, descriptions of nature, my thoughts, some events - this drew me in. I wrote dictations better than anyone in the class, and I had no equal in writing essays! I loved participating in various competitions where my stories and poems were submitted. And I was incredibly happy when I succeeded in something.

I dreamed that my future profession would be related to writing texts. And when I learned about journalism, I, of course, became interested in it. Just think - you can travel to a variety of countries, communicate with a variety of people, and interview. And the most important thing is to write. I think that's what attracted me to journalism.

But I am constantly tormented by doubts. What if it's not mine? What if I'm actually not that good at writing essays? What if…

Yes, I guess I'm afraid. I'm afraid to make a wrong choice. It's so difficult! But it's so important...

As I said above, choosing a profession is one of the most important. There are a lot of professions, so making the right choice can be difficult. But you shouldn’t close yourself off, much less choose a profession that you don’t like. You should not choose a profession at the insistence of adults, for company with friends, for the sake of a big salary or because of popularity. The most important thing is that you like what you do. As Confucius said: “Choose a job you like, and you will never have to work a single day in your life.” I completely agree with this statement.

I hope everyone can make the right choice and enjoy their chosen specialty. And in conclusion, I would like to present a couple of lines that came to my mind:

Choosing a profession is a difficult matter.

You only need to choose one!

I remember my mother really wanted

So that you choose yours correctly.

There would be wealth, a lot of communication,

You were successful and happy, but here:

You think very often and for a long time

Who should you become? What could you do?

You know, the time of doubt will soon pass.

And suddenly waking up in the morning, at dawn,

Having thrown away the swarm of thoughts and delusions,

You will understand who you need to become!

The profession can be a joy.

Consider yourself lucky to have her!

But if it becomes a burden,

It will be destined to search again.

E. L. Karvatskaya

Undoubtedly, the choice of profession can be influenced by the type of temperament, pedigree, and life principles. How else? Everything together gives the total sum of terms. Here is a real example of my family. My grandmother worked at school as a Belarusian language teacher all her life. Mom, her sister, and paternal aunt also teach in schools. We have a dynasty! One profession united my family.What awaits me in the near future? Yes, both I and my peers are faced with an important choice. The main thing is to be able to realize yourself in your profession. How to choose it correctly so that there are no disappointments later? Choosing a profession is a non-standard task, because everyone decides it for themselves. I know one thing: doing what you love is happiness. And how I want to be happy! Therefore, you should not rush, but think about, weigh and calculate everything. Of course, the unknown and unpredictability are a little scary. How to get around them? And become happy... After all, V. Nemirovich-Danchenko said: “Exceptional happiness for a person is to be with his constant favorite thing.” We must remember: experience accumulates over the years, and the most important thing that we really should have is interest.It's nice to realize that our experience is not only downs, but also ups. Whatever we do, whatever conclusion we come to, we must benefit from it. Knowledge is our wealth, what makes us us, and it is they who influence the choice of profession in the first place.As for my life path, it has not yet been finally determined. Many times I saw him differently, but already at the beginning of this school year I began to see him more clearly. Every day my strong desire to learn about the world, to discover interesting facts about the countries and people who live there, grows. Studying a foreign language and its nuances is a long but sure way to understand the culture of a people, their worldview and traditions. How different we are from those who live in other parts of our vast planet! For example, if you literally translate the phrase “I have butterflies in my stomach,” the English will think that you are excited about something, and when you are in a Japanese restaurant, don’t be surprised if someone starts sipping soup: this is an indicator of politeness.I have no doubt that there is much that I still don’t know about the world, and this is an important reason why I want to study it. Perhaps I have already decided on a specialty - Linguistic support of intercultural communications. Translation theory, world literature, the language of mass media... Everything that I want to study and everything that I can study in this specialty!And this is precisely why I do not regret that I started studying English on my own. And how many tests I passed thanks to this! I attended the English language olympiads. It brought an unforgettable experience! And, of course, experience. She took part in a competition held by the British Embassy in Minsk. This really excites me! Yes, sometimes it’s not easy, but life is interesting because it’s full of difficulties! From time to time I involuntarily ask myself the question: “Is this mine?” and I immediately answer: “Yours!” You just have to work harder." Being in the process of learning is an integral part of my life that strengthens my spirit, inspires and motivates me. As soon as I get distracted, I immediately succumb to the blues due to inaction. It's boring to live yawning!I love setting goals for myself, and even more I love achieving them! These can be both minor and important goals that take weeks, or even months. Do you know what's the funniest thing? They are all doable! Therefore, it is stupid to argue that because of some factors you should give up your goals. Vice versa! Due to some factors, you must find another way to achieve them. It may be more difficult, but then you will definitely realize that it was worth it.And what conclusions arise? If you have not yet decided what to become, then you should not worry about it even if all your friends have already made this important choice. This means your time has not come yet. Remember that each bud blooms on its own, in its own time. Therefore, you cannot bend the petals, you cannot make a sudden, and in most cases, the wrong choice. The solution will come with time, and if it has already come, then hold it tightly and don’t let go.

As a child, I was asked many times what I wanted to be when I grew up. When I was in kindergarten, I answered that I wanted to be a princess, in the first grade - a hairdresser, and in the fourth - an architectural designer. My preferences changed at breakneck speed, and only in high school was I able to consciously approach this issue. I can say that this is very difficult to do, because choosing a future profession is perhaps one of the most important steps in life, on which not only further material well-being, but also peace of mind and comfort depend. Sometimes this requires all your diligence and attentiveness.

Having opened an impressive list of various professions, you can get a little confused. Lawyer, geophysicist, marketer... how to choose from several dozen specialties the one that suits you perfectly? This is incredibly difficult!

The famous Chinese thinker Confucius once said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” That’s how it is: a profession should captivate, capture, interest, and impress. While doing what you love, you may not notice how time flies. You can go further every day, revealing more and more new facets of your capabilities. You can achieve success and become a truly happy person. This is what became a priority for me when choosing a specialty.

Career guidance tests at school helped me determine my preferences and figure out what I want to connect my life with. Now all conditions have been created for applicants: open days, various trainings, courses are held that motivate their students to enter universities. I think the most important thing is the desire to move on, because without incentive and sincere interest, even ten most experienced tutors will not be able to help a lazy student accumulate knowledge and score high scores in exams.

Of course, you shouldn’t forget that you need to sensibly assess the demand for your future profession. After all, if specialists with such a diploma are valued in the labor market, they are guaranteed a high salary, career growth, and a lot of other remarkable advantages.

Often the biggest barrier to making the right decision is the opinions of others. When a person hears statements from the outside like: “Why do you need to be a translator? You speak terrible English!”, or: “What kind of a cook are you, you’ll poison all the people!”, the most unpleasant thoughts come to his head, and a strong resentment creeps into his soul towards himself, so stupid and mediocre. Stop! But for whom does he choose what he will connect his future life with? For the sake of your classmates, parents, for the sake of friends? No. He chooses the right path only for himself. You can sign up for English courses and improve your pronunciation, buy a thick cookbook and learn how to cook culinary masterpieces! If the desire to do something is real, then all negative circumstances simply disappear. Deaf Beethoven composed magnificent sonatas, blind Asadov wrote incredible poetry! The list can be continued for a very long time, but these people are an example of how you can do the impossible for the sake of what you love.

I chose journalism as my future profession. This is exactly the bright and multifaceted direction in which you can show all your abilities, constantly expand your horizons, meet new interesting people, learn about the loudest and most discussed events, live a life full of impressions and enjoy what is happening around you. High passing scores and a fairly large competition for me are only an indicator that I have chosen a truly prestigious and popular specialty. I hope that I will be able to plunge headlong into this incredibly interesting world of mass communications, without which our life does not seem complete.

Be the one you needed when you were younger...

My name is Dasha and I am not an alcoholic, I am finishing 11th grade. During my time at school, I never learned how to write essays, but this is not a reason to refuse to participate. I don't know where to start, so I'll start from the beginning.

“From the follicle located in the ovary, a mature egg emerges into the abdominal cavity...” Stop! It’s too long ago, so my story will drag on for 17 years.

As a child, when all the boys wanted to become astronauts, and the girls wanted to become their wives, I didn’t want anything. I studied mediocrely at school, I was only interested in one subject - man and the world. There are two reasons for this: first, I could get an assessment of my knowledge, not accuracy or behavior, and second, I studied what surrounds me. What difference does it make what the product of fifteen times thirteen is equal to, or what tools the first people used? No one explained the meaning of this knowledge, and the textbook was built on the principle of “memorize and retell.” But you can feel the warmth of the sun or watch the stars from the window in real reality.

In the sixth grade, this subject no longer existed - biology appeared. This was the most difficult lesson. They tell you something like “plants photosynthesize, photosynthesis is the formation of oxygen from carbon dioxide.” You won’t know how this happens, because “you will study this in detail in high school, but now there is no time.” Of course, at that time there was the Internet, but I was not allowed to use a computer. There was another new subject - computer science. Then they finally started to explain something. Almost. We have 45 minutes, a computer and two pages of assignments. If you succeed, you get a 9; if you didn’t, you get a 4. After a year of hard work, I get the maximum mark. I write any work 30 out of 30 in 15 minutes, I know not only “how”, but also “why” the computer works. A year later I am sent to the Olympics. Everything is going great, I can become a programmer. But I do not want.

Under the influence of my parents, I still go to the physics and mathematics class. New teachers, new friends. Life doesn't suck that much. The first six months. Then it becomes sickening. I understand that I was completely wrong about the direction and am using all my strength to convince my parents to transfer me to another school. At this time, I completely abandon my studies, only occasionally reading textbooks. And at this time I come across an explanation of everything. Really, everything. If you also collect additional literature. It turns out that oxygen is just a byproduct. Cells also divide in different ways. Each phase of division is described, unfortunately not in all details. But there is another reason for this - scientists have not fully studied this. Perhaps you will be the one to make a scientific breakthrough. Everything falls into place and... I understand that I want to connect my profession with this science. I just understand and don’t do anything - the absence of a magic kick is obvious.

Here we come to the moment “now”. In November I started preparing. In December, not without effort, I received the highest score on the test. In January, I confirmed my knowledge at the new school and began to panic, because I had to take two more subjects, but the horse was not lying there. Taking a piece of paper and a pen, I made a plan. Big plan. I think that I will be able to improve the theory until the end of the third quarter, and throughout the fourth I will repeat the material and solve more tests. I think that I will score 220 points required for admission to a pedagogical university. For me this is not a small number due to the average score and the small amount of time.

As you can see from this story, I am not perfect. I am far from ideal, the complete opposite. I just WANT TO BECOME A TEACHER. “Low wages”, “you are a servant” - I do not agree with these arguments. I think it’s up to everyone to see how they perceive it. I want people like me to have a place where they will feel good, where they will be welcome. I know that there are many such people; among my friends, more than half thought about suicide because of their studies. And not because of low grades, lack of attention or any difficulties. From DESPAIR, when you don’t know who you are, why you came into this world, what you really can do. I want the flame of knowledge not to go out for a minute, so that after receiving an education the children continue to be interested in something, so that they love what they do. The desire to work as someone cannot be “bad” or “good”. There is no shame in sweeping the streets or working as a cashier. My friend gave up her childhood dream of working as a veterinarian and entered the history department simply because studying at an agricultural university is not prestigious. I want every child who comes to school to want to study not for the sake of grades or a “new computer.” So that every little person learns something important FOR THEMSELVES, and not for quick exams. Of course, it’s easier to solve tests or “just sit” rather than prepare new, special material for each lesson, but what is the point of learning then?

Conclusion? I just want to say that I am consciously going into teaching. I want to make people happy and the world a little better.

Thank you for your attention.

COMPETITION TASK “ESSAY”

THE PROFESSION I CHOSE

In the life of every person, a teacher plays a very important role, and, upon leaving the school threshold, many remember with gratitude their first teacher, the best teacher, their favorite teacher.

German poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe wrote: " Those from whom we learn are rightly called our teachers, but not everyone who teaches us deserves this name.”

Where do pedagogical stars come from, who do not strive for fame, but everyone talks about them, who are happy to share their experience with their work colleagues and do not expect rewards for their work!They just do their job because that's what they have to do. Because my conscience won’t allow it otherwise!

Teaching is a profession that not everyone can master.

Having come to a children's team, a young teacher must remember that only personality educates personality, only character shapes character. A teacher must be a person.

Why did I become a teacher? This is a very good question, so I will be happy to answer it. My grandmother is a teacher, graduated from the Barnaul State Pedagogical Institute, and worked in school all her life. From childhood, she taught me to read, write beautifully and correctly, draw, express my thoughts correctly, and prepared me for school. I loved it when she read fairy tales to me. She read them so well that she wanted to listen to them all the time. Looking at her, I also wanted to become a teacher, to continue the dynasty. I still have a lot to learn from her, for example, wisdom, the ability to correctly express my thoughts.

Every person has a first teacher. Whatever a person becomes: a doctor, an astronaut, a welder or a cook, his first teacher taught him to write, count, and reason. The teacher gives a part of himself to the children.

This is the kind of piece my first teacher Valentina Semyonovna Kruglyakova, my first school “mother,” put into me. I still remember her lessons, and I think I will remember them all my life.

All this influenced my decision to enter the Altai State Pedagogical Academy (at that time Barnaul State Pedagogical University). After submitting the documents, I wasn’t particularly worried about whether I would get in or not, because I was confident in my abilities. And when I found out that I was accepted, I was incredibly happy! My grandmother and my first teacher shared this happiness with me.

I believe that love for children is a hallmarkteachers, who are the force that inspires everything that happens and turns the school into a good family. If the teacher is imbued with true love (selfless, selfless, faithful, patient, forgiving, serious, affectionate), his influence will be strong and fruitful. The result of such love will be affection, trust, free, without coercion, obedience of students.

Love for children and “live” visual examples helped me decide on a profession.

My first steps into the profession were taken at school in Barnaul and immediately “in third grade.” The class is not easy - correctional type VII. I was scared to start working. The children's team has already been formed, with its own foundations, rules, and traditions. It was difficult at first, but fortunately, we managed to establish contact with the students. It even felt like we had been together since first grade. We have become one.

But we had to part, since I moved to live in another city - Zarinsk. Immediately, without hesitation, I began to look for “my place” in the schools of this city. My intuition told me to come to school No. 3. And she didn't let me down. At the first interview I was accepted into a friendly team.

But here, too, new difficulties awaited me. First grade. I was very worried about this, since I had never had experience working with first-graders, because my teaching practice took place in the second and third grades. My colleagues helped me and continue to help me cope with the difficulties that arose.

Now I’m “studying” in first grade again. I’m just “learning” because I have to do a lot of things for the first time. You can even say this: I teach children, and children teach me. At such moments, I always remember my first teacher, my grandmother, and once again I am convinced that both they and I chose the teaching profession for a reason.

I'm an elementary school teacher,and I believe that the teaching profession is unique and special.I have very difficult tasks ahead of me. That is why it is a great responsibility. It takes a lot of effort to teach how to read, count, write, draw, make friends, and live according to school and universal rules. And I like it.Thanks to my profession, I do not stand still, I develop, educate myself, and improve myself.

I would like to end my essay with a poem by O. Varikova, which is close to my spirit:

How much does it mean in life?
The very first teacher
He will change the world
He will show you the right path!

Will give you a smile,
And the burden goes away
Let him not grow old
It’s time for you – the Teacher!

You live by lessons
And you are happy with this,
And you give your heart...
Who knows! Children!
