Assignment 6: Claire Telfer

1. How much of an impact can one person create in your life and how much has that person shaped you into the person you are today?

2. If you could make an appearance on one TV show, reality, competition, or scripted, what would it be and why?

3. What was your dream job when you were a kid? How has your future career choice changed as you've grown up?

3. When I was a little baby Claire, I either wanted to be a fashion designer or a hairstylist. When I had dolls, I would chop their hair off and hide the hair from my mom because I knew she would get mad at me for violating my dolls. My desire to be a fashion designer also stemmed from my dolls. I would always love dressing my dolls because those Barbie outfits made them look like a million bucks. I also used bed sheets and curtains from my dollhouse to make dresses for them. I've still never learned how to sew or cut hair, so those dreams have died. I don't really have a dream job anymore, I just know that I want to help people. My ideal job has become more altruistic because I want to feel like I'm beneficial to society. Over the past couple of years, my idea of a career has changed from being a pediatrician to a researcher to being a biomedical engineer or a geneticist. I'm interested in being able to not just care for sick people but also be able to prevent sickness and disease.
I still really want to be a fashion designer though.
