How do you imagine putting your degree to work? This journal reflection paper is an opportunity for you to explore and describe your own professional aspirations. Pulling from your lived-experience, your vision for yourself, and readings from your Children & Youth Studies classes, write a 1,000 word essay about a professional career path related to Children & Youth Studies that you can imagine following and why. You are welcome to write this as a letter to yourself (or to someone else – real or imagined), or in some other creative format. Start with your own vision/dreams/aspirations but also be sure to think carefully about content from your Children & Youth Studies courses and make meaningful references to at least 2 readings from CYS classes. Please highlight any gaps in your knowledge that you identify.
