The Newberry Eagle: La Pine Students Focusing on College, Careers
La Pine Middle School held their annual Career Day on March 6, 2013 to a packed house of 300 students and 35 business and community organizations.
The Newberry Eagle, a local newspaper serving Deschutes, Lake and Klamath counties, hosted a booth and covered the event on the front page of their March 15 edition.
Students responded to a survey about what they learned, what they liked, and what they decided about their future. A few of the responses reported are recorded (and shortened) here:
What I liked:
- I liked the fact that the people were so nice. People told us interesting things.
- We got to really think about our future.
What I learned:
- I learned that I need to keep going on my goals.
- I learned that jobs that don't seem very fun actually are fun.
- Dream big! Never stop. Just because you live in a small town doesn't mean you can't go to college.
What I decided about my future:
- Its going to rock!
- I need to plan it wisely.
- I will be going to college because it assures me a better future and better jobs.
- I made a decision to save all my money for college.
