Introduction

Emily Zoscak August 10, 2009

My name is Emily Zoscak and I am going to be a senior at Allen High School. I have lived in Texas my whole life with my mom, step-dad, step-brother, and my father. They are all very supportive of me. Acting is my passion, along with cooking, traveling, gardening, and writing. Someday I hope to be either an actress or a travel writer.

Biography

Research is the keystone to discovering which career will fit your personality and needs. It is imperative to know the ins

and outs of what you will hopefully spend a good part of your life doing.

These facts can be gathered from many places including the internet, which supplies objective information, or from an

employee in that career field, giving you a first-hand account and the ability to ask in-depth questions.

On my self-evaluation quiz I had results ranging from an Aquatic Biologist to a Radio DJ. I chose to research a journalist,

because that is something I would like to be in the future. I want to help America see the world from my eyes.
