'find an interest in anything that makes you happy' - UC 1

Throughout my life, I have been told to find an interest in anything that makes you happy and pursue it. Through all of high school and my first year at my community college the main goal I was trying to achieve was to find a profession that made me happy no matter the amount of the salary. My interest in my intended major first developed when I started taking some business classes to see how I would like them. When I finally found a profession that I liked and could get excited about, it felt like I had hit the lottery. My main interest in business is the marketing aspect of it. Being in a team and pitching ideas to people really appealed to me.

I use to work at a local frozen yogurt shop, where I would be the only one running the shop during my shift. My days would drag on as I ran the cashier and cleaned up after people all by myself. At times, being the only one working there was something I looked forward to. As I continued to work at this yogurt shop, I soon realized that I need a job that has more communication with other people. My favorite part of the job soon became going out into the streets to advertise and bring customers inside the shop which was uncommon amongst the other co-workers. Something I realized while working there was that I really need to be communicating with others and have tasks to accomplish to make my day go by faster and also being around others makes happy. At my new job, I am a server for weddings and other large events. I work with a staff of over thirty people and I love it. Just as marketing requires teamwork so does working at my current occupation. I have no problem working with others; in fact it makes me happy. I am a team player and I get along with people very easily. Being a team player doesn't mean I am a pushover however. When needed, I learned at my job that I need to give directions, discipline, and teach the less experienced. Interacting with others to achieve a common goal is something I have been trying to perfect.

Day to day I always analyze people to try and figure out how they think and what their intentions are. Figuring people out has become some what of a hobby of mine even if it seems a bit odd. Like putting together a puzzle piece I like to sort things out to get the best end result. I'm interested in marketing because of all the interaction the profession offers and the concepts of selling a product to a target market. In a target market you need to figure out what the customers will find most interesting to make a sale which is similar to my hobby of analyzing people.
