Many students in our community lack role models who have attended college and gone on to professional careers. We wanted to provide our students with an opportunity to meet and talk to individuals that have careers that would inspire our students.
Some of the guests we were invited to meet included:
- Dr. Merrill, a dentist
- Roxana Ramirez, an environmental engineer
- Dr. Kang, a pediatrician
- Matt Kang, a small business owner and editor
- Matt Sayles, a photographer
- Jesus Perez, an engineer
- Michael Ortega, an engineer
- Stacy Gnall, a poet
- Carmen Gutierrez, a non-profit assistant director
- Joe Choi, a bank manager
- Anna Kim, a lawyer
It was really interesting to see our students challenged to achieve great things from others, both in and out of their own communities. Many students were surprised to hear the diversity of occupations in the world and how important their education would be in achieving their professional goals.
