Career Day JAZZY WILLIS
On Sunday January 22, we had Career Day with eleven different, amazing speakers. Starting off the day by listening to the dynamic duo of Dr. Craig Robson and Dr. Julie Moyers in the chapel was an excellent way to prepare our minds for the upcoming presentations we would attend. They both spoke separately about what had called them to be doctors and what they had faced as challenges in their occupation. They both openly stated that becoming doctors was not part of their initial plans, but other jobs and interests had come to lead them in the correct direction, God’s plan. In fact, Dr. Robson said that
he didn’t even plan on going to college, and that he was kind of forcefully put there by accident. Both speakers ended by encouraging higher education, as well as a deep thought about the future presentations we would be visiting during the rest of the day. We were then released to go to our career sessions. Students then departed to their variously assigned sessions with the guest speakers. Each student was required to attend four sessions. They had the choices of seeing and listening to a mathematics professor, a digital marketer, a military officer, a physical therapist, a mental
health therapist and business owner, a salesman, a dentist, a cybersecurity analyst, and a registered nurse. Each of these jobs gave an insight as to how the schedules might be in the career that we choose. Such as having a schedule with flexibility in medical options, or a set schedule in the military.
there would be a brief time to ask questions. During the question time, many things were asked. A lot of the students had questions about work hours, what kind of people were regularly worked with, what personality traits would work well with that particular job, skill sets, and any further clarifications. All the guests were eager Presenters who came to answer, and even threw to speak with us that day in some fun facts. had a 35-minute session to explain the basics of Each person who spoke their profession.
