Career Day 2017

 

Career Day on February 15 this year was bustling!   This is one of my favorite Rotary experiences, when Rotarians representing various career paths, along with non-Rotarians who step up, spend a little over an hour at Traverse City High School.   Every five minutes the whistle blows, and a new round of students sits with a volunteer to talk with the students about a host of things related to career choice.  Some students want to talk about their career plans and ask for advice on how to pursue their dreams; others, perhaps seeking comfort in not knowing exactly where they want to go, ask how you found yourself where you are professionally.   Because Traverse City High School's student population consists of mostly non-traditional students often with challenging circumstances, I absolutely love the opportunity to offer encouragement and challenge the students to not let anyone set their limits.  Sakura Raftery and Monica Larsen do a great job of rallying the troops for this event, and I'm proud of my fellow Rotarians!
