Gender Equity Day

On Wednesday, March 4th we had Gender Equity Day which is a day where we picked two nontraditional careers and one traditional career and learned about them. This was just to see what opportunities we have when we graduate high school, also to see if we want to pursue a nontraditional career.
The careers I picked to learn about was Agriculture, Automotive technician, and Physical Therapy Assistant. Each one had a lot to offer. In the agriculture class we talked about using a GPS to measure acreage and how to tell if corn is good or bad. In automotive technician class we learned about spark plugs on a car and we also worked on a car battery. In physical therapy assisting class we learned about the differences in everyones strength and also we talked about stress relievers.
When I went to Lake Area Tech I learned that no matter what sex you are you can pursue what you want and still really enjoy it. I also learned that some careers you could possibly want to pursue are harder than you think. This experience was very fun and very helpful to us sophomores and after that day I think people have realized if they really want to pursue that career.
