3 Choices
Part 5 (Cont.) after my research on colleges and careers, I’ve come up with the fact that I still
want to take on a pharmaceutical career. Reason being is because I personally think it suits me
best considering that I’ve shown a lot of potential in covering up my past issues concerning
slacking off and lack of studious and responsible motives. Pharmacy motivates me because it
has been one of America’s highest paying jobs so far, and it pays extremely well. Pharmacy
even pays past (on average) $50 an hour, even higher than that. To me, it’s motivated me ever
since my 8th grade year, and I still continue to want to be able to go after and pursue the
pharmacy career. Even though it does take a lot of work, the amount of years aren’t too long to
complete. What I would recommend for someone wanting to pursue a specific career is that
one should first have a small list of careers that come to mind. Then, they should check
(personality wise) which career suits them best because it’s tough to have a successful career,
and turn away from it all right in the middle of it, so one should want a job that they would
definitely keep. Next they should research how each career path and the career itself works.
Just to be prepared for what’s to come. Once you have picked out what you wanted, you have
to actually be motivated enough. It isn’t just one morning you wake up and decide to be doctor
or a lawyer, picking and going for a career takes time and a lot of patience. But if you’re
determined and mentally ready for it, the rest is basically to go and be told what to do.

Part 6- Research Article
“This year’s GCSE’s and A-levels, the public examinations British students take at ages 16 and
18, and which determine whether they are admitted to university, have been thrown into an
uproar after a newspaper filmed examiners telling teachers which subjects were likely to come
up and even which questions to expect.
The Daily Telegraph sent undercover reporters to 13 seminars organized by the four companies
that administer the exams. The companies, which charge teachers up to £230, or $360, to
attend these seminars, were supposed to be offering “guidance,” but instead one history
examiner was filmed telling teachers, “We’re cheating,” and an examiner in English said
students needed to study only 3 poems rather than the 15 in the syllabus.The education
secretary, Michael Gove, said the reports “confirm that the current system is discredited.” In a
statement Mr. Gove said he had asked Glenys Stacey, the new chief executive of the exams
regulator Ofqual, to investigate the companies’ conduct and report back within two weeks.
Ofqual said it was considering ordering the companies to withdraw certain questions or even
entire examinations.”

Part 8
Dropping out shouldn’t even be considered an option. Reason being is because dropping out is
basically signing your own grave in the future, considering the fact that most jobs don’t even
take anyone who dosent have a a high school diploma. Either way, dropping out from high
school makes people look real bad, considering that people who drop out are known to be very
slacky or someone who just straight up gives up too easily. And not only that, dropping out can
be a huge issue in the future, simply because jobs out there seek for diplomas, and if they don’t
see any high school diplomas, jobs won’t pay you as much as you really need. Dropping out
involves 2 options
work at low paying jobs, have problems getting hired and depend on government
checks for the rest of your life
b) go back to school later on in life when things seem harder and are more
troublesome in which the situation ends up with you not having a head start to
finance for your life but be behind and struggling.
Preparing for college is a must. If theres one thing that no one likes, is the fact that anything that
is looked upon on last minute, can be super stressful, especially not taking in and not looking
over colleges. Colleges should be planned out early (around junior and senior year) the
satisfaction from knowing that you’re prepared is amazing. Considering that life in college and

beyond isn’t as monotonous as it seems to be. College and life after college is simply that much
of a big deal and a great life changer. Either making you or breaking you.
