Making mapping seems like a very tuff job to do. I don't think I'd want to do that. It seems very hard and confusing. They have to deal with landforms, major roads, and waterways. Did you know the they use units to gather information for satellites orbiting around the earth, which broadcasts their position to get longitude and latitude. Wow! that's cool. The main part of map making is Geographic Information Systems, a type of database software. They could database any information they want. Some websites deal with map making also like Maps.com and earth.google.com. They even publish companies to make maps in history books( World History & American History&Government) When your a map making you get to travel and see different parts of the world. They say if your interested in cartography you have to take a lot of geography classes and computer programming classes and also you have to be good in algebra. They recommended it anyone who's interested they say its hot career job for the 21st century. It sound interesting and very fun, but not something I would do. Because they say you have to be good in algebra (ha! math it my worst subject). But it looks interesting and it seems like takes a lot of work to do and a lot of concentration.

DO YOU WONDER

This just tells you that biology is fun to do,and being a scientist is fun too. Biology deals with a lot of things like plants, colors, and nature. So basically everything around you deals with some kind of science. Like mathematics deal with biology and communication also. Their are many ways to become a scientist.

OUTSIDE THE LAB

You could be a genetic counselor, which works with families and birth. They need people with good people skills, also they have to be good in math, or you could be a Science/technical editors, they edit professional journals, consumer science magazines , and educational materials. Also you could be a Environmental lawyer, which they fight for the wildlife animals and try to protect them from being captured or harm of any kind. Basically your just being a good lawyer and helping out the animals. You could be a Nurse,which they need to know how the body works and how medicine can affect the body. They probably have to know a lot more stuff then that. Last but not least you could become a science teacher, which they all need at a high school or even college. They have to be well-trained educators.

CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH

All doctors have to deal with science they have to know about every bone in your and how it works. Most doctors spend their time conducting biological research. Their are all types of doctors such as, Pathologist, Oncologist, Immunologist, Industrial biologist, Biotechnologist, Bioinformatics, and a Microbiologist.

UP CLOSE WITH NATURE

You could be a Wildlife biologists, which are people who work with animals that live in the wild. They have to figure out if the animal is dying off or thriving. They even have to see what type of environment they live on so their not being hurt. They check for global warming or the pollution, because that can affect animals and people. Or you could become a park ranger,which are people who protect the park and making sure its safe while telling visitors about the natural wonders.


I think all this jobs are very interesting and they give a lot of opportunities and how they do their job. So you have a good description of what to expected if you interested in any of these jobs.

How do most employee's spend their vacation? Usually if its a business man they usually work while on vacation. Most employee's spend time with their family. I think being on a vacation means taking time off because you work all the time(that's if you work all the time and if you deserve it),but most people usually work while on vacation I don't get that. If your on (vacation) you should enjoy it not work. If you were just going to work on your vacation then you should of just stayed at work. Looking at this survey more people work then relax. About 76% people work while in vacations and 54% not work while on vacation. Don't get that, but I guess if they want to work they can its there choice.

Their is a lot of ways to be creative you could work at a bank or the hospital. It doesn't matter people are just looking for innovation ideas and unique ways to solve a problem. Theirs a lot of ways you can be creative like by; designing a sneaker,construct your page on MySpace, or making a playlist on your I-Pod. Creativity is the combination of talent and effort that produces that is both novel and useful. It doesn't take a genius to be creative, all it takes is confident and believing in yourself and not giving up. For example 18 year old Hardeep Singh of Waterbury,Conn. For a science bowl he wanted to build a fuel car that ran on water and electricity. He says he took a lot of science class, but he wasn't no genius, and he didn't think he could do it at first, but he says he tried ever possible idea until he figured it out. Surprisingly he won first place at the 2006 contest, a national competition organized by the U.S Patent and Trademark Office and the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation. Also challenging yourself to find new answers can intellect and make you more of a risk taker, says Keith Sawyer, an associate professor of education at Washington University in St. Louis and the author of several books on creativity. Take for another example 16 year old Emily Tsaconas from California. Emily's been a baller dancer since she was 4. She says her dedication to her art spills over her schoolwork, giving her focus on drive. Emily says being comfortable with my creativity helps me a lot in dancing, especially during those situations we we're asked to improvise. She says she use to freeze up when put on the top like that, but she realized that she just has to be confident and go for it. She may not have the best steps ever but when there's limited time, anything is better than nothing. All creativity is about is never giving up and just going with what you want to accomplish and go towards your goals. Because being afraid,and not thinking you can do it well hurt you. It's all about believing in you and going for it all. Because at the end of the day your going to be a winner. It's because you tired and you didn't give up.

I think Mr.Dinkins is a very nice and cool teacher. It seems has if he loves what he does. Basically his trying to make learning fun for his students. I think he's setting a really good positive goal for them. Using rap in his class I thinks that's cool. I wish my teachers did that. Because a lot of kids listen to it now days so there familiar with it. I think his going the right way in his teaching and just making his students comfortable with him. That's what teaching his all about being able to connect with your students and believing in them. Mr. Dinkins has a lot of confidence in his students I can tell because he's making learning fun and most of all he wants his students to rise to the top. He made a smart choice in becoming a teacher.
