Plans for the 5-day holiday

My plans for the 5-day weekend are on Tuesday/ Today I am going to the pantomime till about 9 tonight. After pantomime I’m going to go to my friend Haleigh’s house with Alex and Dean to watch New Moon. When it’s over I think I will be spending the house at Haleigh’s house and just chillaxing. Then Wednesday I am going to just hang out with Haleigh for a few until my mom calls me to come home. This is normally around like 12 then I have to go home and clean, I have to clean for tomorrow I hate cleaning my house so I normally get out of it.
I just have to find a way to get out of it and we will be all good. Then I will just go hangout with people until its dinner, and then I will go home and eat then just watch television for a while. I think my friend big Jake or lumpy is coming over to sleep over and stay the rest of the break. Then on Thursday I will just be like sleeping in until like 1.
Then I will have to get up for a few just to eat and stuff and then I will go to sleep again. Have people come over and just chillax for a few probably go up to the park. Then go home eat dinner with my family for thanksgiving. Then most likely hang out with people again and then come home and go to sleep.

On Friday I plan on sleeping till 1 having Haleigh and Alex come over. I’m going to get my mom up at like2 and then I’ll get ready to go. My mom is taking me to get my nose pierced on Friday and I am going to try and get her to let me get my belly button pierced too. I hope she lets me but if she doesn’t I’m going to try for my tongue or my lip. I want two things pierced that day and I think I can convince my mom to let me.

A Judge

A Judge
I think It would be really fun to be a judge, It’s going to take a lot of school though to become a judge it will take To become a judge, you usually have to become a lawyer first, which means attending law school and completing a law degree. Before applying to law school, however, you must first earn a bachelor’s degree. Bachelor’s degrees usually take 4 years to complete. A degree in any subject is valid but those that allow students to develop their research and writing skills, such as English, history, or political science, can be particularly helpful. Law school candidates need excellent grades, and all schools approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) require applicants to take an aptitude test called the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) as well. Competition for admission to many law schools is intense, especially for the most prestigious schools. Law school normally takes 3 years of full-time study to complete and the degree you get is usually called a Juries Doctor (JD). Some colleges offer combined law and business administration programs that take a fourth year of study and result in both the JD and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees. After graduating from law school, you still need to successfully complete the bar examination for the state(s) in which you plan to practice. Preparing for these examinations can take a lot of time and hard work. You have to work as a lawyer for many years and establish a good reputation before you are likely to be appointed or elected a judge.
That’s just in school they get paid a lot. Entry Wage get about $23.67, Median Wage gets about $41.23 and Experienced Wage gets about $70.82 it is a lot of money for a really easy job.

The Job pays three ways one is, Entry Wage and that pays $18.87, Median Wage is $22.56 and the Experienced Wage is $27.46. The numbers will go up in 2016 at the moment the number is at 11,306 but it says that in 2016 that the number will be 11,194. This means that I should have a good chance getting a job in this career if I was looking.

The day in the life of a Child and Youth Worker starts out at about 11:00am they start there day by Doing paperwork; planning day’s lesson; getting materials together—making copies of worksheets, preparing a test, getting books.

Child and Youth Worker..
Child and youth workers work with troubled children and adolescents who face a variety of emotional, behavioral or physical problems. The problems can arise within the family, at school, as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or because of conflicts with the law. Child and youth workers use guidance and treatment programs to help young people deal with their problems.As a child and youth worker, you might be employed in a psychiatric hospital, residential treatment centre, social agency concerned with youth services, school providing education for special needs children, private group home, detention and rehabilitation centre or a community outreach program. Some child and youth workers prefer to specialize and work only with a certain age group or specific types of problems.
You often work in a group to teach life skills, behavior, social and coping skills. In an institutional setting, you eat meals with the kids, supervise chores, and even attend classes with them. You also plan and organize recreational activities, supervise homework and provide guidance and support. Through this structured environment, you can help to fill some of the psychological and physical needs of the young people you work with.
And I think that I would be good at this job because I like to work with children.


ModelI like this choice because I modeled over the summer and then I put it aside for dance and school, I like to model cause you get to where all the really cute outfits and high heels. On the other hand it does take a lot of time out of your life. With all the interviews and then if you get booked you have to go do shoots. I think that it is a really fun thing to do. You really have to be outgoing though and they will tell you that like right off the bat. As long as your outgoing and you can walk on the runway then you will be all good. I don’t like doing runway though because I’m someone who they would call really clumsy. Also female model’s make more money than the male models:)
Special Education Teacher
I want to be a special Ed teacher because I worked with the special Ed kids in elementary school. I liked it because I got to help people that some couldn’t help themselves. It was fun to help them out and I would like to do that for a living because that would be a fun job to go and do everyday. Special education teachers work with children and youths who have a variety of disabilities. A small number of special education teachers work with students with severe cases of mental retardation or autism, primarily teaching them life skills and basic literacy. However, the majority of special education teachers work with children with mild to moderate disabilities, using or modifying the general education curriculum to meet the child’s individual needs. Most special education teachers instruct students at the elementary, middle, and secondary school level, although some work with infants and toddlers.The various types of disabilities that may qualify individuals for special education programs include specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, multiple disabilities, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, visual impairments, autism, combined deafness and blindness, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments. Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups. Early identification of a child with special needs is an important part of a special education teacher’s job, because early intervention is essential in educating children with disabilities.
