Mr. Neal recently held a career fair with people from different professions. Each of the speakers talked about their lives, personal and career-wise. They also about how your choices can affect the future and how important it is to get a high school diploma. One of these speakers was Tamia Dow, a retired detective. She spoke about how important education was to her and how it helped her get further in her career. One of the topics she covered was about fears and how they could be advantageous for success in any career. Before she had started telling her story about her time in law enforcement, she brought up the topic of fear and quotes. One of the quotes was by Marrianne Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” Tamia told us that we focus too much on fear when we should be focusing more on the future and that we were born to manifest the glory that was given to us. Tamia advised how to help reach any goal, regardless if they mattered to the career you wish to pursue. The first step was to envision the goal; what do you want to do? The next step was to plan. How you would want to accomplish the goal; what do you need to do to get there? The last step would be to take action because action is necessary for your goal to be accomplishable. Without any action your goal just becomes a dream. Make sure people know what you stand for because only you can decide who you are. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” - Eleanor Roosevelt.
