(Class A, 21) Masahiko Murakami

It is such a co-incidence that Masa also wants to be a doctor like me. However, I’m not sure in which area of medicine he wants to specialize in. Being a doctor is, of course, a very dignified job. Moreover, it requires excellent communication skills, which are a prerequisite; the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team; listening skills, which are vital; and having compassion and resilience. I am sure that Masa will be able to fulfill his career as a doctor to the fullest.

(Class A, 22) Ryo Yamamura

Ryo wants to be a veterinarian and his reasons for being a vet are very virtuous. He wants to be a vet because he had a bird, but sadly it died, so by being a vet he will be able to help animals. He also wants to go into this profession because many animals are getting extinct. I feel this is a very noble job and with the compassion that Ryo has towards animals, being a vet is one of the best career option that he can consider.

(Class A, 24) Tatsya Yoshida

Tatsya wants to be a pilot and at one point of time, I also wanted to be one. However, due to my eyesight being poor, I had to leave my desire at the backburner. Anyways, after reading Tatsya’s career review, I learnt quite a few things about a pilot, which I did not know at all before. After reading Tatsya’s self introduction, I gathered that Tatsya is a very dedicated person and I am sure with such determination plus dedication, he will be able to acquire a position as a outstanding pilot.

Career Fair

On Friday, 2nd March, my school brought all the secondary twos to secondary fives to a career fair hosted at Suntec city. The purpose for bringing us there was for us to understand more about the careers that we would want to pursue in future.

All the secondary threes were given worksheets with four questions about three desired future careers so as to help us with our informative report that we have to write. The questions on the worksheet were, what are the qualifications/experiences required for this job; what is the job scope; what are the long-term prospects of this job; will this job be relevant in the next decade, if so, how, if not, why.

Actually, I thought the career fair would have booths according to different fields, like for example, medicine, law, and many other kinds. However, I was totally wrong. In actual fact, there were booths set up by local and overseas education institutions, public and private employer-organizations, government agencies and associations. As a consequence, I was a bit vexed as I could not find anything to do with medicine doctors. I even asked Mr. Wong for help, but all in vain, so in the medicine aspect, I did not gain anything. However, I managed to acquire quite a number of information about teaching and hospitably and tourism. In fact, now, after this fair, I would not mind being a hotel manager.
