What program are you in at the Vocational Center? I am in Early Childhood Occupations II.

What do you like most about your program? My favorite things about this program are the environment, the playschool we run, Mrs. Pam (the teacher), and the hands-on experience we get.

What are your plans after graduation? I plan to attend college for Early Childhood Education.

What career goal(s) do you have? My goal is to teach English as a second language to early elementary-aged children in foreign countries.

Who or what inspired you to pursue this path? I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. More recently, after a family vacation to Germany, I was inspired to both travel and teach.

What advice would you like to give future students? The biggest advice I would give future students is to keep up on assignments, try not to fall behind because that’s when work becomes overwhelming, and not be afraid to ask for help.
