I took the focus 2 assessment and it helped me a lot with thinking what my career in life would be. There were about five different assessments that gave various different questions and in the end gives an overview of your answers. the five different assessments were about my values, personality, interests. Each assessments helped me understand how involved I was in each topic. The career assessments was meant to capture far I’ve gotten in terms of working and work related skills. The personality assessments tried to get an understanding of what I liked and what possible jobs I could get into. the interests assessments tried to categorize me into different sections allowing me to understand exactly the things I liked as well as things I didn’t like. Putting it all together it was a really helpful way of understanding where I am right in. It gave me an insight of exactly what I needed to do and things I could do to get to that point. The assessments also described many different terms to me that many people commonly thought was one thing but was in fact another. It gave a clear grid of what a good job for me looked like. Things like transportation, income, free time , many other things that I have’t even thought about. Directly talking about my interest really made me think about the things I enjoyed and things I hated.  Overall it was a really helpful assessment.

 

This time for Fro, I went to Whitney Museum of American Art. I also went there for an art history project. We had to pick any picture we wanted that related to the class. Then we had to describe the picture with full details to someone that couldn’t see the picture. The ticket was free for anyone that under 18 years old so it was easy to get in. There were a lot of different floors but they didn’t have as much artwork as I thought there was gonna be. I wanted to choose an artwork that was easy to sketch but also good at the same time. I finally decided on an abstract piece of artwork that had a lot of different colors and shapes. They had 7 floors to the builds but three of the floors didn’t have any artwork in them. I went all the way to the the 7th floor and work my way downward. It was really interesting seeing the different type of artworks that people have created. There were a mixture photographs and paintings and sculptures. There was also other students there from other high schools that were having a class on the history of the artwork. I listened in for a couple of minutes before moving on. Overall the experience was fun and new for me.
