Highness Heavies Kalu.
00:03 - 00:05
My name is Ashley Junior, Um, and this is my
00:05 - 00:07
post secondary pathways assignment.
00:10 - 00:12
So the first question is, what will you do in
00:12 - 00:13
the first year after you're done?
00:13 - 00:13
High school.
00:14 - 00:16
So the first year after I am done high school,
00:17 - 00:18
I plan on going right into university.
00:19 - 00:21
My first year, I planned on pursuing a four year
00:22 - 00:24
degree. Um, undergraduate.
00:25 - 00:29
It's called the Honor of Spatula of Commerce specialized in
00:29 - 00:33
accounting. Some universities within the GT, that officer's program, our
00:33 - 00:35
work university, Ryerson and UFT.
00:36 - 00:39
However, they actually have programs within their schools that are
00:39 - 00:42
exclusive to business students, and they may look better on
00:42 - 00:44
your resume as the studies, more in depth and intense.
00:45 - 00:46
It's also a little different.
00:46 - 00:48
Possibly York University offers this.
00:49 - 00:49
You look school of business.
00:50 - 00:52
Ryerson has the Ted Rogers School of Business, and you
00:53 - 00:55
have t has brought me in school business during this
00:55 - 01:01
time. I would like to be accepted into them and
01:01 - 01:05
start after my first year husband, um, during my first
01:05 - 01:06
year after his school.
01:06 - 01:09
I would also like to be working part time so
01:09 - 01:12
that I could save up for money for my tuition
01:12 - 01:15
and cover the things for books gas, food, cover, cross
01:16 - 01:17
for books, gas, food and more.
01:18 - 01:20
Um, I will most likely not be living on campus,
01:21 - 01:23
so that won't be a part of my expenses.
01:24 - 01:27
Um, my part time job will either be McDonald's, the
01:27 - 01:30
Brampton Library, and when I gained enough experience and get
01:30 - 01:32
old enough, I'll probably apply for a teller position at
01:33 - 01:33
the bank.
01:34 - 01:36
I will also be working alongside my dad in small
01:36 - 01:39
portions by doing the bookkeeping for his accounting practice.
01:40 - 01:41
And if I could maintain good balance.
01:45 - 01:47
Um, the second question is, How will you achieve these
01:47 - 01:49
goals? So I will achieve these goals practically to get
01:50 - 01:52
accepted into university by achieving an honor roll in my
01:52 - 01:53
next two years of high school.
01:54 - 01:56
On this way, universities will know I am well rounded
01:57 - 01:59
academically, and I have what it takes to succeed in
01:59 - 02:03
school. I will also continue to participate and get involved
02:03 - 02:04
in within my school community.
02:05 - 02:08
I'll attend club meetings, take part in student council and
02:08 - 02:12
more. A combination of all academics and extracurricular activities will
02:12 - 02:14
benefit me in the university application process.
02:15 - 02:15
As it shows.
02:16 - 02:21
I am also I'm a leader with collaboration, communication and
02:21 - 02:21
professional skills.
02:22 - 02:24
I will use my learning skills from high school and
02:25 - 02:27
carry it on to ensure success in my first year
02:27 - 02:27
in university.
02:30 - 02:33
I will also get a part time job in high
02:33 - 02:34
school, probably next year.
02:34 - 02:36
Um, this is the logic can build my resume with
02:37 - 02:39
experience and use it for my benefit when applying for
02:39 - 02:42
various jobs that I may want in the future like
02:42 - 02:45
a bank teller job, then accounting jobs in terms of
02:45 - 02:48
occupation. What will help me there is working with my
02:48 - 02:52
dad's private practice, doing his bookkeeping for his clients.
02:53 - 02:56
This will build my account, acknowledge and introduce me to
02:56 - 02:58
accounting Softwares that I will encounter in my future.
02:59 - 03:00
Like a ZX, you could see quick.
03:01 - 03:03
QuickBooks and zero are very good.
03:03 - 03:07
Um, Softwares that we use.
03:08 - 03:10
Um, the third question is, how does this plan reflect?
03:11 - 03:12
You are learning skills and strengths.
03:13 - 03:15
So this plan reflects my learning skills and strength because
03:15 - 03:17
I am a very strong academic student.
03:17 - 03:18
I'm well rounded and on the courses.
03:19 - 03:22
Of course, I find most enjoyment in is actually mass
03:22 - 03:25
because of its problem solving, and it's challenging aspect where
03:26 - 03:29
it makes you think this is much like what I
03:29 - 03:32
will have to engage in in university, especially being an
03:32 - 03:34
accounting student and also my future.
03:34 - 03:37
Most of my courses will be geared towards finance taxation,
03:38 - 03:39
etcetera. They're all math based.
03:42 - 03:45
My excellent organization skills fits perfectly into this plan as
03:45 - 03:48
well. To ensure that I stay on top of working
03:49 - 03:52
assignments, studying university lectures and deadlines, I must be organized
03:53 - 03:55
with things that I do to get good marks as
03:55 - 03:56
well as it will benefit me.
03:56 - 03:59
When I displayed in my work ethic, my time management
03:59 - 04:01
skills will also come in handy.
04:01 - 04:05
I am very good with communication and collaboration developed from
04:05 - 04:08
my many, many leadership positions here, a cardinal music and
04:09 - 04:09

04:10 - 04:12
And this will help me sell myself in job interviews
04:13 - 04:14
and dealing with clients and customers.
04:15 - 04:18
I I'll also be able to effectively network and communicate
04:19 - 04:20
with my peers and university.
04:23 - 04:26
The last question is, why are you interested in pursuing
04:26 - 04:27
this pathway and what do you hope to gain from
04:28 - 04:31
it? So I am interested in pursuing this pathway because
04:31 - 04:34

04:35 - 04:36
