This morning, JT and I attended Memorial Middle School’s Career Day. What made this career day different than our last career day is that these students are much closer to placement tests, applications (for college, jobs, military, etc.), and “the real world” than the elementary students we met in March. I advised the approximate 500 students we met to set their goals, to make plans to attain them, and to work hard to realize them.

JT and I would like to thank Principal Alex Gonzalez and Gear Up Facilitator Esequiel Rodriguez for the invitation. Even though Memorial Middle School is housed in a different building than the one I attended, I still am proud to call myself a Memorial Raider.
