I have an idea of my end goal, but these 5 quizzes helped me better understand skills that I potentially have. At the moment I want to major in marketing, and minor in public relations. I want to work for a magazine, or media company by specializing in either digital marketing, or something similar. I would have to say that the first quiz on ‘Work Interests’ was pretty inaccurate. They gave me suggestions such as Biology teacher, or anthropologist, which are two things that I’m far from interested in. I want to work with a team thats supportive in an office space. I also want a job where I can express my creativity, and pitch my ideas. I’ve always been very interested in social media work, and the fashion field. There is a lot you can do with a marketing major, so I’m glad I’m working with something flexible, because I’m rather indecisive.

The quiz was on point with personality features. The results told me I like to socialize, create, have personable traits, and care more about aesthetic over inquiry. I would also like to help out my co-workers to the best of my ability. Lastly, I know for a fact that I want to work in an office space in the future.

It’s hard to be involved at my local Temple in Staten Island because I dorm in the city, and I’m always overwhelmed with school. However, I try to make time once in a while and go to my Temple on some weekends. It gives me a way to learn about my religion, and culture. When I went most recently, I helped the priest by performing certain rituals, and going around to the people who came, and giving them “prasadam”, which is food that has been blessed. You eat this (usually a sweet) after you have prayed. I will definitely be doing this more often. A widely celebrated holiday is coming up this weekend so I’m excited to attend the temple again, and help around with what is needed to make the celebration it’s best.

Today, Christine and I went to the American Museum of Natural history. It was extremely interesting to learn about humans, including the mind, and evolution. Also it was cool to observe different species. This includes species that exist today, and some that are extinct.

One of my favorite parts had to be the Space show which displayed a 360° effect of space. Lights were off, and stars appeared. It felt so real, but it was all visual effects. I really enjoyed this, and also the IMAX movie that they played about national park adventures. The screen was huge, and the scenery in the movie was so beautiful that it made me want to visit the parks they showed.

My least favorite part was the butterfly conservatory. Since it was hot outside, the humid environment that the butterflies needed was not enjoyable at all. Also, I don’t even like butterflies. They kept landing on you and it was gross. It was additionally very crowded.

The museum was very fun and I’m glad we went. My favorite parts outweigh my non-favorites so thats good. I hope to come to this museum again, and explore the national parks I saw in the IMAX movie. In addition, I would like to visit other museums.
