Blog #8 Dominguez Guadalupe

     In chapter 13 of the text LIFESMART, we are presented with the idea of now what? What is the next step to be taken? How can we apply and practice the theory we learned and analyzed. There is numerous ways to take it to the next level and it implies the process of analyzing one's current place and view of life span and how we can better apply it for our own benefit and that of others. There is some professions that focus on working with people and therefore it is of much importance to fully understand the theory of human development. When a professional who serves other is well aware of all that implies a proper development and all the forces that can have an impact on an individuals development, that professional will be able to help others in a much more beneficial manner. Professionals to whom human development theory should be known at hearth included but is not limited to those who choose careers in the fields of business, communications, criminal justice, education, elderly services, medicine and public service. It was also pointed out that many jobs that implied working with people are not well paid. Many of these jobs don't have the proper monetary reward but the emotional fulfillment is enriching.

     I believe that it is very true the fact that some of the most complex and hardest jobs are the least rewarding when it comes to pay. Educators are not paid fairly for all the work they do. Educators are well prepared individuals who in most cases not only love their job but also try their best to have a positive impact on others. I believe that the low monetary reward repays with the emotional fulfillment of impacting other's life by been able to take part in the shaping of their mind resulting in knowledge.

     I have been asked numerous times why i decided to become a teacher if it is one of the most challenging jobs with unfair pay. My answer is that I love it and is my passion, I want to impact others in a positive way and be able to impact their learning. We must do what we love and live a happy life, that is much more important than having a big bank account.
