Students Discuss Their Dream Job

Gabriella Valentin, Samuel Saavedra and Vanya Mann contributed to this article.


Wright Times asked students: “What is your dream job and why do you want to do it?"


Connor McDonough said he dreams of becoming a psychology educator. He likes psychology because with the information he learns, he is able to help people process their emotions. He would like to work with children because, “they are bright balls of energy.” When he was asked what he thought of Freud, he answered, “he talks too much about childhood."


Freshman Gabe Cortez said his dream is to be a screenwriter because he likes writing stories.” Cortez said his four favorite films are "Napoleon Dynamite," "Clerks," "Django Unchained" and Dazed and Confused.” When asked how he felt about going to college he said, “It’s not highschool. They let you do whatever.”
