Investigative Type

The investigative type: Like to investigate, solve and analyze problems.  Generally like math and science-based classes prefer to observe/study different subjects.
Possible major types:
  • Bioresource Eengineering
  • Food Science
  • Microbiology
Career Options:
  • Aerospace Engineer
  • Biotechnologist
  • Laboratory Supervisor
Overall, I'd say that these major types and career options are what i expected to match up with what i want.  i think majoring somewhere in the field of science and technology is something that I've always wanted.  don't get me wrong, I've changed possible career options multiple times, but they've all generally stayed in the same field.

My hero

My biggest hero is my dad.  He looked pretty normal, and didn't really share any traits with any super heroes.  He didn't run into a burning building and save a hundred kittens from their fiery demise.  He didn't really go through a hero's journey, but what he did have was a heart of gold.  He showed more care for those around him than I've ever seen anyone show.  He was so passionate in everything he did, and he always tried his best. If I had to chose a figure that we've seen so far in out heroes unit, he is comparable to the hero Life in RLSH.  That was the type of guy my dad was, even with complete strangers.  If someone needed something, he wouldn't hesitate to ask what he could do to help. When I said he never ran into a burning building to save anyone, it's because the opportunity never arose.  If there was such a situation, he would undoubtedly go in without thinking of himself, as long as he could potentially help others.  That's what made him a hero to me.  So while he didn't have physical traits and the physical strength of a super hero (although he was a pretty beafy guy xD ), he did have the mindset of one, and never ceased to show it.  His passion for helping others and being the nicest guy I know is highly inspiring to me, and gives me an extremely high role model to look up to.

Blogging About Blogs

Atronomy This blog posts both picture and new discoveries in the world of astronomy.  Astronomy really is something that fascinates me because it forces me to put our tiny planet in perspective with unfathomably large objects and systems in space.  It's alwasy been a great hobby to read up on, and i would definitely consider possibly pursuing it as a backup career.
Biology 1 Biology is the study of life, and this blog well...basically makes posts about anything under that living category. It has a whole range of diagrams and informational texts that I find very interesting.
Biology 2 Again like the above post, this blog covers a lot about animal biology, but also covers a bit of school-learned molecular biology.  I particularly like this blog because I will hopefully pursue a career as a laboratory technologist, and would potentially be working with a lot of things that are slightly covered in this blog.
