Essential questions: How do I write my life story in personal narratives? What do we know about our future career choices? What types of preparation must you complete to achieve your goals? What personal goals must you set for yourself? What educational requirements must you meet, and how long will it take you to meet them? What resources will you need? What are the daily demands of your career choice? What possible obstacles can you foresee?
