True Color and Career Research

The career I chose was an Insurance Agent. So after taking the Eureka True Colors test, my true colors were Gold and Orange. Both tied with 14. Being gold means that you follow any rules given to you. Being organized is something natural for you and you also respect authority. And because you are organized, you seem to find things easier and will grow as a person. Being orange means, someone who takes risks and lacks of fear. Being orange means that you like things being more hands on rather than working on stuff that you just read and have to study for a long time. These two colors apply for me I believe because I definitely like my things organized, and if something comes with instructions then I take advantage of that because I find that easy to work with. I'm also a person to take risks and see what outcomes I get from it.

I got the chance to talk to a counselor, Ms. Herrschaft, and she helped me set up classes that would help me with this field. She told me that her cousin was part of this field and she knows that you have to put time and effort into this. There are going to obstacles getting in my way but she said that I should keep going forward no matter what. Someone rather than you're parents, using you to work hard is a great feeling. I thank her so much because I learned so much with her in such a small time. Everything she was telling me, was lucid. I understood every single bit of information she was telling me. She was honest with me, saying that nothing in life is easy, and so therefore I have to do my part and earn it. One of the best counselors I've had, and I've only talked to her once.

I also got the chance to interview, Jorge Ortega, an Insurance Sales Agent. A person who is very adept in this field. He works for the company named Primerica and his office is located in Valencia, CA. He's a very good friend of my dad, so that was one reason this job had caught my attention before. I just never got the time to sit down one on one with him and ask him serious questions about his career. So I started asking questions like, "What's does a usual day in work look like?", "What do you like the most about your job?" The one thing I learned about this interview was that, there's no clocking in and clocking out. So that means you have to work even harder. He chose this field because he wanted to spend everyday with his son and be able to work at the same time. And that's why I want to have a similar job, I want to be my own boss and not spend most my day doing the same thing but rather be doing something different everyday. Something that he said that will sick with me was, "A lot of millennials are changing the world in a good way, and I hope you get to be one of them as well." And just like Jorge, I wish one day I get to be an entrepreneur I've always wished to be.
