In one paragraph, write about the careers you have noticed in the world around you. Think about the following questions:
• When you take a bike ride, go shopping, or go to school, do you observe any jobs that
appeal to you?
• When you think about the jobs of friends, caregivers, or siblings, do any of those appeal
to you? Becoming more aware of careers in your everyday life will help you decide what
interests you and what does not.
