The career I'm interested in is being a doctor.
The reason why I thought of this career is because they make lots and lots of money and they help save lives. My mom is a nurse and she was telling me of how great it is so I started to think about being a doctor. The more I grew up, the more I wanted to be a doctor. My mom is the biggest influence in me wanting to become a doctor.
A typical day for me being a doctor is lots of patients coming to see me for problems they have been having for a couple of days now like a sore back or feeling like vomiting daily. I would then inspect them for any viruses or bacteria and to eat lots of veggies and fruits.
Some of the skills needed for this job is do work well with strangers and friends alike. A qualification needed is to have a Doctorate/Ph.D in whatever part of the medical field you want to be a professional in.
My mother has medical textbooks so ever since the dawn of my life, I have been reading up on them. I learned a lot of medical terms that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't looked or read up on them.
I could be a medical assistant for little hospitals who need the extra help which could provide some experience in helping people.
I discovered that jobs dealing with the medical field generally need people who have their Ph.D/Doctorates in the specification.

Save Water PSA Poster
My topic was about saving water and how it could help the world. Since our water supply is getting low, saving water would be helpful for droughts to come in the later years. Any child or adult that saves water in their home ensures that we will have more water to use during a drought.
I learned that only 1 percent of the world's water is actually usable. Something else that I learned was that taking a shower for 5 minutes can save 7 gallons/shower. Also, installing low flow shower heads, water-efficient dishwashers, and installing a high efficiency toilet can also save over 20 gallons.
The interesting facts I used from the website from the website SaveOurWater was that turning off water when brushing teeth or shaving can save approximately 10 gallons per day. Also, you should only run laundry and the dishwasher when loads are full, approximately saving 19-24 gallons per use.
My rough sketches and ideas are here:

My finished PSA informs and educates the viewer by telling them something that needs to be done. A lot of people may not know it but, they waste water. The Earth will end up being dried, fresh out of water if we don't do something about our the amount of water we waste.

Color Psychology
In the Color Psychology article, the author states that the psychology of color is based on the mental and emotional effects colors have on sighted people in all facets of life. Color is often associated with a person's feelings or emotions. Light purple, for example portrays a peaceful surrounding, relaxing you and relieving tension. Green portrays a natural feeling, like being at harmony with nature, causing you to be calm and able to clear your head.The article reference can be found here: Color Psychology: The Emotional Effects of Color.

Dream Destination Getaway
Dortmund,Germany is a dream destination for me because I would like to see my favorite soccer team play in their home arena, Signal Iduna Park. Also I would like to just visit Germany in general because it seems like such a cool place to be in. Since Germany is in Europe it would be a good experience to be somewhere other than California in North America. Lastly, I would like to get the feeling of being in the home stadium of my favorite team, supporting them in the crowds with my family.
For information on the Borussia Dortmund soccer team go to Team Borussia Dortmund
For information on Dortmund,Germany itself go to Dortmund,Germany
I imagine visiting this location and my experiences being like the image I illustrated below by me playing soccer on their official team, Borussia Dortmund, against their rivals, FC Bayern Münich.
You may need to see the website as an English translation from Google as everything is in German :)
