Athletico Mentor and Student!
Students at Athletico learn about athletic training and rehabilitation.
The value and challenge of Practicum
Alexis:
"As a young adult nearing high school graduation, I realize that college is nearing and I'm really torn between baking and being a teacher. I never thought I could find such enjoyment out of work. Next year when I really have to decide what I want to do, it will be really difficult."
Kelly:
"Working at the Chamber has shown me how important it is to be friendly to clients or just people in general. If you show them respect and kindness, they will show it back and things may be easier to achieve and you can build up trust with them... I enjoy speaking to people on a regular basis and being part of a team rather than working alone."
Stacey:
"After rereading this week's reflection, I feel even more confident in my dream to become a teacher. I feel I have knowledge for helping young people learn. I want to make a difference in the world and help people become more educated and find ways to make it exciting for them... I feel this is what I would like to do and actually be excited to go to work every day.
Ashley:
"I helped kids that had a hard time on their math papers. I helped them make corrections to raise their scores... I really enjoyed this because I got to see exactly what mistakes they were making and teach them how to do it correctly."
Kirsten:
"This experience helped me grow as a person because I got to see first-hand what goes on after someone has a stroke or head injury, what they have to go through even to have a conversation with someone. It has helped me as a student because it opened my eyes to all the opportunities I would have as a speech therapist.
Anastasia:
"This was probably my best week yet in Practicum because I was placed where I have the strongest interest in a a career... I want to be an ultrasound technician and specialize in pregnancy."

Surgery and Detective Shadowing
Here are a few updates...
Annemarie:
"I had a phenomenal experience this week in Practicum. I had the chance to be in the field of surgery twice this week. On Tuesday, I scrubbed in and stood in the operating room while the procedure was going on. I got to stand right next to one of the assisting nurses while robotic arms removed a patient's uterus. The nurses talked me through, step by step, the entire thing... I saw from the very beginning when they made the first cut to when the patient was being wheeled to recovery... It was a great experience for me as a student because I could ask as many questions as I wanted."
Melissa:
After observing at a police station and with detectives who specialize in internet crimes, she wrote:
"I feel like this is one of the coolest experiences I've been through. I am getting a feel for what I want to do after college. All this time, I could've thought I wanted to work in law enforcement, but in reality, I could have hated it. I would've spent so much money on college courses for something that may not have fit me. Because of my Practicum experience, I know when I go to college, I will be investing money in classes that interest me. They will also help me to pursue my career goals."
