Why Cosmetology
Why Cosmetology?

To begin, my name is Michelle Fenstermacher and I am in Cosmetology. Which is a large and creative field that I chose to become a part of at ICTC. I chose to attend ICTC due to myself liking to help others and make people look and feel their personal best. I can help people look and feel beautiful by doing their hair, nails, and give them a cuter style. If you want me to make you look the hottest you have ever been before, then come and let me do your hair, nails or give you a cuter style to leave the salon with. Firstly, my choice to be a Cosmetologist has been an on-going interest of mine since I was about four years old. At that time , when I was four years old, I was in the bath at my Aunt Rhoda’s backwoods farm house. She had heard a gunshot , so she went to check where the gun shot had come from. When doing so , she had left her razor for shaving her legs on the bathtub shelf. I grabbed it, being the curious child I was, and shaved off my eye brow. Another reason I chose to be a Cosmetologist is because when I was about 7 years old my parents bought me tons of Barbie dolls to play with and ruin. One day when we were at Toys ‘R’ Us I saw a huge Barbie doll head without a body that you could do her hair. So as most kids my age , I begged them to buy it for me., but they ended up buying me two of them one for Christmas and one for my birthday. After I got the dolls I played with them almost every day and attempted to braid their hair. I also washed their hair when I was in the bath tub. That is one reason why I chose to be in Cosmetology at ICTC. Secondly, my choice to be a Cosmetologist is partially due to many influences from the world of adults that have encouraged me. The first person is my mom, she has always sold make-up from the farthest memory I have of her. I have started to help her with her Mary-Kay business by helping her with her stock. The second person is my cousin, Kelly Guyton, she also sells make-up(Avon) and now

    CSVI a - The reason I chose to become an early childhood professional is because I like to be part of the learning process and see how the children benefit from the program we provide. I believe that early education is very important for children and I take a great pride in the work I do every day. With my art education and ability to be very creative, I am able to use it in my classroom and create artistic wall displays, bulletin boards, interesting art projects, and colorful teaching tools for the children in our program. Every day we provide them with paint , paintbrushes ,crayons, scissors ,glues, colorful papers and many more craft supplies and they go to create their own very special piece of art. This is one of many activities in the classroom that helps them to develop variety of different skills they need for everyday life and I get to be part of it. I understand that as their teacher I am a big influence on them and every moment of the time they spend in the school and I provide them with loving and positive environment. Every day, while they are away from their families, they get to spend a day filled with learning carefully planned fun activities, and I am very happy to be a part of that. At the end of every school year I’m pleased to see all of our students to move on to the next level of their education and I’m proud that I was able to help them learn basic skills and prepare them…

    * Protection. Nail polish and remover can damage many surfaces such as cloth, wood finish and plastic. So, wear an expendable t-shirt and no valuable accessories, sit at a desk or table, protect it with scrap paper (not newsprint, which smudges), and make sure the table itself and anything near it is not particularly valuable or important to keep perfect because there might be a spatter or spill soaking through. You might not want to work near a computer, for instance.…

    My obsession began in the sixth grade where i found myself fascinated with doing hair and the products and the foods that could improve your hair and skin and I wanted to learn more. By my freshman year in high school, I already knew what I wanted to focus on: cosmetology. My first cosmetology competition was Skills USA. I was chosen to compete in the 90 degree hair cut event. Once I arrived at the school for the competition, I noticed all types of different academies; academies from construction to culinary. I walked into the cosmetology room where my competition was being held. I began to set up my station, shampooing my manikin’s hair and pulling out my shears and razor blade. As the 40 minute timer started, I reached for my razor blade…

    My educational plans as of right now is to either start off at a community college and then transfer to Oregon Institute of Technology to go into Oregon Institute Of Technology right after high school. Going into a community college first would save me a lot of money and it wouldn't be a bad place to start off at. I would like to start off at OIT because it seems like the right school for me and I won't have to deal with transferring later. Regardless of where I choose to go I will be working towards getting my bachelors in dental hygiene. I want to pursue this career because I want to help others feel confident about their smiles and it's something I can see myself being good at. My parents inspire me the most, they've done so much for our…

    When I first started researching about what beauty schools were around in my area and what they offered, I found many different schools for example empire beauty, which seemed like a good start but just didn’t seem to satisfy my requirements enough. I wanted something that was a little bit more in detail and hands on because I knew I wanted to learn everything that I could possibly learn about my craft. I looked around and have finally decided on Atlanta area technical college, and also have taken a tour around the school campus and felt that this school meets all of my requirement . And then one day I s. I noted the number down, and called right away, and I was transferred to Jan, who then became my counselor. That was the best choice I had ever made in my entire life. Jan had explained to me, briefly what the course demanded from me, what I could demand from the course, what the teachers were like, what the work load was like, how much it will cost me, and what it can do for me having a MTI degree.…

    “The moral dimension of every significant human choice: taking seriously how and who we choose to be in the world” spoke most to me because, being a transfer student, I have lived a life prior to this journey towards health care. I have paved for myself a very successful career in the field of cosmetology and have worked tirelessly for over 6 years to form strong relationships with my clients built on trust, creativity, and dedication. While from the surface, cosmetology may seem like a vastly different field from nursing, I believe there is more that connects the worlds than that sets them apart. Both careers are heavily customer service-based and require a “people-person” personality along with the ability, flexibility, and willingness to serve and make others happy. Cosmetology, however, lacks the depth in which I crave to truly feel fulfilled in a career. Who I choose to be in this world and the path I choose to take is heavily influenced by my compassion and empathy for…

    What I have also discovered about myself is that I’m interested, and I mean really interested, in a myriad of things ranging from marketing to kinesiology to dermatology. I think this is because I know I could be happy and fulfilled doing a lot of different things. Throughout my childhood, I have been equally engaged in contrasting activities like learning how to fish on Leech Lake in Minnesota and learning about the harsh realities of the war my dad faced as a child. Although I am knowledgeable about the values my parents and community have instilled in me, I am eager to expand my…
