MY CAREER ASPIRATIONS PAST & PRESENT


In the past i have thought about teaching and also performing in the west end. However now i would like to do drama therapy or teach those with special needs. I feel i would be able to do this as i have many years of experience with this type of work and continue to do it. To do drama therapy i need to have communication skills, Creativity and intuition, being able to relate to people from different backgrounds, be able to cope with challenging situations, emotional strength and report writing skills. I feel that i can do all of these but i would struggle with writing reports as i have never done this before.


To achieve this i need qualifications that are either a degree in drama or psychological health. Or to do this i need to be working in nursing, teaching, occupational therapy, social work or special needs. To do this i could do a third year at college but do this as an apprentice in the performing arts area. This will mean becoming a learning mentor which i think i would enjoy. Additionally i could become a trainee teacher and then go into drama therapy or working with people with special needs from this as i can do a university degree whilst training.
