Many children have strong potentials in life. Some want to succeed greatly and satisfy their needs by having a nice house, a nice family, and, of course, a nice job, but children should understand that getting through high school and college is most definitely required to “live it large” as people would say.
K4 student Taylor Turner said, “I want to be a cheerleader because I want to cheer for my brother.”
To prove a point, Turner’s response even requires school. It may seem like an easy career choice, but to be a cheerleader and be able to cheer her brother on, she would have to be in school and on the cheer team.
“I want to be a late model race car driver because my daddy was one,” said K5 student Jackson Hillhouse. Hillhouse simply gave an example of following in a parent’s footsteps. This shows how much children look upon their parents. This should inspire people to lead by example and to be the best they can be.
Digging deeper into how school works, fifth grade student Jordan Stewart said, “My favorite subject is math. I love math because it really challenges my mind, and there is so much to learn from math. Yes, this will help me achieve my life goals because I would like to work at the power company at the front desk. You have to count money, and if they don’t give you the exact money, you have to know how much to give back to them.”
Not only do students focus on what they want to be when they grow up, but also on what they will do when they get into higher grades.
Sixth grader Gauge May is very excited about moving up to seventh grade next year and being in the high school building. “I will focus mostly on time in between classes, how long we have in classes, making time to get homework and classwork done, and how much time they will give us to learn an objective,” May said.
