Elizabeth’s Answer

Sarah's response was excellent! I'd add that you should take the time now to explore what you like. Find a camp or part time job in the field you're interested in and see if it still holds your interest. Shadow or simply talk to someone in the field to get their perspective. LinkedIn is great for finding connections. Be flexible - you may be able to combine multiple passions in your future career.

Sarah’s Answer

As an experienced ICU nurse, I'd like to share some advice for all students eager to step into the professional world. Start by setting a clear goal for yourself. Are you considering college? Perhaps the military? Or maybe you're keen to jump straight into the workforce? Once you've identified your path, you can begin to pave the way towards it.

If college is your choice, remember that institutions often appreciate volunteer work, high GPAs, and impressive SAT scores. If the military is your calling, physical strength is typically valued, so consider incorporating workouts into your routine before basic training. And if you're ready to dive into the workforce immediately, remember that interpersonal skills and being a hardworker are crucial. Learning how to communicate effectively and get along with others will be a valuable asset.

Remember, it's perfectly fine to change your mind along the journey. I myself switched directions three times before settling on nursing.

Here's wishing you the very best of luck! May you discover a path that brings you immense joy and fulfillment!

Michele’s Answer

I would say, do not stress if you do not know exactly what you want to do once you finish high school and start college. Find something that you think may interest you and see if you can volunteer or shadow an employee at the facility. I thought for the longest time I wanted to be a nurse, so I got a job at a cardiac facility while going to school full time for nursing. I realized that I loved cardiology but nursing wasnt for me, so I decided to do cardiovascular ultrasound instead. I now work for medical device company that replaces heart valves. My Dad always told me "love what you do and you will never work a day in your life"---That holds true and I havent worked a day in 12 years :) So set your intention and when the path comes you want to take, give it your all! :) For now, just focus on preparing for your journey, even if the destination is unknown :)

Emma’s Answer

I would say to make the most of it. High school itself can be a bit of a challenge depending on hundreds of variables. No matter what anyone else says feel free to be yourself, showing off how unique of a person you are may encourage others or even draw others to you. You may not know what you want to do with your life but that is entirely okay, you still have time, and not everyone is meant for the same thing. it's a good idea to start thinking about what you want to do however be sure to take breaks because burnout can happen. Don't pick something based solely on financials choose based on what makes you happy. In my case, I followed my dopamine and I fell in love with making movies or any sort of video. once you find your niche grab it tight and run crazy with it. Be you, be happy, and enjoy life. Just think after 11th is 12th and then you can go where ever you want to go, college, job force, military, or a technical college. You choose your own path. (p.s. Sorry about this being very long and somewhat random but I hope this helps you in the long run)

Congratulation on entering 11th grade!

I encourage you to adopt a proactive and strategic mindset. Cultivate productive time management skills, organizing your tasks and commitments efficiently. Embrace a growth mindset, seeking opportunities for intellectual growth and personal development. Engage actively in your studies, participate in class discussions, and seek clarification when needed.

Angela’s Answer

Grade 11 is a great year!

My advice: push yourself to be the best version of yourself.

I would not focus too much on the future because no matter how much time and effort you put into preparing for it, life will most likely have other plans. Instead, focus on working on yourself, get good grades, and of course, have fun! Finding the right balance in life is super important, so make sure to spend lots of time with your friends and make good memories.

The only thing that can really help you in the long run are the things that you have learned along the way, so make sure to make the most of every experience, even if its not academic.

Shay’s Answer

Hello! I would say definitely start putting yourself out there professionally. Make a LinkedIn, state you are open to learn or get internships. Internships are great for experience and can help in deciding where you want to go as far as a career goes. In my case, I made my LinkedIn, portfolio since I'm in Graphic Design, and have a couple of side gigs going.

I'd also suggest studying most definitely, especially things like finances and daily adult things that some schools aren't able to teach, like how to clean, pay bills, credit scores, etc. Knowing these kinds of things, even if you have a small job, puts you ahead your peers, as you have insight on "adulting" that some people don't get until they're in their late 20s early 30s.

Hope this helps at all!
