WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON? • They are all human beings like you and I • They are all blacks • They located a career path early • They followed it with passion • Now they are very important People (VIPS).
VALUES This is perhaps the most important question that needs to be answered. VALUE QUESTIONS • What is most important to you in life?

(Popularity, Quiet Life) • How would you want to be remembered? (Philanthropist, Servant of God, A Great Father, A Loyal Spouse, A great inventor, A Prolific Writer) • What are you not ready to ever part with?
INTEREST Simply put, it is what you enjoy doing. Which area you would like to apply the skills you have Your interests are; • What you do and don’t get tired at doing no matter how long?

(latest fashion, sports) • What books do you like to read? • Who are your role models?
PERSONALITY It is the various aspects of a persons character that combine to make them different from other people i.e interesting & attractive Cheerful - Gloomy Comic - Serious Introvert - Extrovert Flexible - Rigid Patient - Impatient Generous - Frugal Organised - Clumsy It is the totality of your individual traits, motivational drives, needs and attitudes

PICK YOUR CAREER CAREFULLY SENIOR SECONDARY • Is this formular always true? ARTS SCIENCE COMMERCIAL • Engineering • Computer Scientist • Nursing • Medicine • Pharmacy • Accountancy • Marketing • Business Admin. • Economics • Banking & Fin. • Insurance • Journalism • Law • Company Sec. • Economist • Visual Artist
THIS WAS MY STORY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL “I hate every of my subjects in science class but like those of arts class” “Help!!! I think I’m in the wrong class” The class I currently am doesn’t match the career I want. “I would like to be a broadcaster but I am in science class (SS 1), is it not late?.”
Don’t make my mistake • Daddy & Mummy Factor ( I must be a doctor) • Follow- Follow Syndrome (my friends were there) • Big TITLE Factor (Dr. At the back of my name) • Too much Money
Good news of a new FORMULA SENIOR SECONDARY YOU CAN MOVE BUT AT THE PRICE OF TIME & COST ARTS SCIENCE COMMERCIAL • Visual Artist • Engineering • Banking & Fin. • Law • Medicine • Accountancy • Marketing • Business Admin. • Economics • Computer Sci. • Insurance • Journalism • Nursing • Company Sec. • Economist • Pharmacy
Is that all I need to do? • Personal Development (work on the skills you have discovered) • Right Association (Avoid NFA’s) • Dream Big & Pursue It (Seek positive exposure & Further your education)
