The 8th graders at the Art and Science Academy middle school went to the Anoka Ramsey community college and the Armed Forces Reserves Community Center to go to different stations to explore different career fields. There were a variety of careers and most students found at least 1 they were interested in. Some of the more popular stations were: Turpen Realty, Jojo’s Photos & Studio, ARCC Communications: Social Anxiety, and ARCC CNET. The 8th graders were there from 9-2pm. It was a long day filled with many different activities. Now I interviewed one of our 8th graders (Violet Vu) to see what she thought about career day.
What was the best station you visited?: My favorite station was the ARC CNET because It was interesting and the presenter was funny.
What was your favorite thing about career day?: My favorite part was learning about all the classes we could do in the future.
Did any of the jobs impact you in a way?: Yes. They showed me how they dedicated their life to help the world and that really impacted me.
