Excitement recently filled the air at Arbor Station Elementary as students eagerly awaited a host of community professionals to share experiences and insights about their diverse careers. Students were all smiles while rotating through different stations, engaging with a variety of professionals and inquiring about their professional journey.
"Students were thrilled with curiosity and exploration as they had an opportunity to experience a day in the life of a career professional," said Counselor Ashley Smith.
Shaheedah Hill, who creates content for YouTube, encouraged students to explore their creative side in social media by teaching them how to become YouTubers while defense attorney Chance Cuellar catered to their conservative interests, sharing his legal world as an attorney representing compensation cases.
Other career day professionals who participated in the inspiring event included City Clerk Corrine Lindo, Transportation Director of Douglas County Schools E.W. Tolbert, IT Project Manager Fred Hogan, Accountant Darryl Kirkland and Coder/Software Engineer Phillip Hall.
Dr. Emily Felton, Principal of Arbor Station Elementary School was thrilled to see career day provide students with the inspirational spark to set ambitious goals for their future endeavors.
“Career Day is not just about exploring professions; it’s about igniting passions, broadening horizons, and inspiring our students to dream big.”
