Responses to Questions 1 - 6 from Lettie Marshall Dent Elementary, Maryland

Question 1: Favorite Subjects / Careers

My favorite subject at school is science. I am good at gymnastics, school work and soccer. Some careers need math and science, such as, doctors, nurses, chemists, engineer and astronomers. For people who are good in languages and literature, I would recommend careers as a writer, translator, teacher, poet, songwriter, or a librarian.

My favorite subject in school is Math. I am good at soccer. A career that would need a lot of science is a scientist. A scientist would need to know alot of science, because they need to know about space. A career that woud need alot of math is a math teacher. A math teacher would need to know alot of math so they can teach the kids math. Another job that would need alot of math is a waiter or waitress. A waiter or waitress would need to know alot of math so they can work the cash register. A job for a person that is good with literature and languages is a book writer. A book writer needs to be good at literature and language so they cna write a book that makes sense.

In school my favorite subject is reading. I like reading because you learn about new things and you can write down what you think. I think I am pretty good in science,but I have trouble with long division in math. I dont really do good in sports, but for languages I know a little spanish. I think jobs like astronauts and doctors require a lot of science and math. I would recommend an author for a person who excells at a writing positon and language arts. I would like to be a writer myself.

My favorite subject is Science. I am good at science and sports. An accountant would be good for a person that likes math. A scientist would be good for people that likes science. An acountant needs to know math bacause they deal with alot of numbers and addition and stuff like that.A scientist needs science because scientist's learn and use alot about science. A good career for a person that knows alot of language arts would be a teacher because, that person could share all the language arts that they know. That is what I think about math science and, language arts.

Question 2: Talent / Hardwork and Practice in Careers

Yes, hard work and practice must be applied to other occupation. For example, you must work very hard to become a mechanic and you have to practice to be in the nav. Practicing and hard work don't just apply to sports. An astronaut has to practice long and hard to succeed and travel to other planets. They have to know all the controls in the rocket, be good in math so they can determine when and where to go and how hot or cold it should be. A doctor has to practice and be sure they give the right medicine. Sometimes they're responsible for others loves. You must work very hard to be good at any occupation.

I really like sports. Yes, hard work and practice coul be applied to every career there is including an astronaut or a doctor too. i am writing his because you arent' going to be good at something without hard work and practice.

Question 3: Some people are Realistic (the doers), Conventional (the organizers), Investigative (the thinkers), Social (the helpers), Enterprising (the persuaders), Artistic (the creators).

I think that investigative (the thinkers) and social (the helpers) fits my class' personality.A famous person that could be classified under realistic is someone like a singer because they don't just sit around saying they're going to sing a song,but they actually get up and sing. I think a conventional person is a director because they have to organize the scripts, costumes, and things like that. I think an investigative job is someone that is very smart because they would need to think about things a lot to be able to figure out different things. I think social person because she helps a lot of people. I think that an enterprising job is a newspaper writer because they have to persuade people to put their articles in the news.
Allison

I am an Artistic Creator and a Social Helper. I think the ones lited here are the only ones that fit my personality. When I say creative, I mean I can think of some good ideas. When I say a helper, I mean that if someone asks for help, I can help them right away.m

Question 4: Long travel / Bad Weather and Impact on Community

Traveling a long way to school in bad weather can have a bad effect on the community because the children are tired by the time they get there and they can't learn very well. If the weather is bad they will not go. This effects the community because if the kids and people don't learn they will have no skills to make the community better. Schools can be set up in the community so they don't have to travel a long way.

Question 5: Parents / Family Influence on Careers

The favorite career in my family is a paraprofessional or a teacher. There are two of them in my family, my Grandma and my mom. No, I don't know of another family that has more than one teacher. Some parents might influence their children to work in a family job or career. I am not sure how they would influence their child. Yes, a parent can influence their child into not pursuing a job. Also they can influence their child by telling them the good things and the bad things about that job.
Victoria

The favorite job in my family is the police officer. I think I have at least 6 in my family. I do not know anybody that has the same job in their family. I think the parents can influnce their kids to do that job. I think they can do that by encouragement and telling them the history of that job. I think that because if the job was a dangerous job the parent would not want their kid to do that job. That is why I think the parents can change their minds.

Question 6: Find among your friends a 'lone wolf' and a 'member of the pack'.

The type "lone wolf" in my opinion would work best for all of them. See, I myself am a "lone wolf" I don't like to be a "member of the pack".
