Today was Dream Builders Career Day for Gilford County Schools. The event held inside the Gillespie Park Elementary School gym features sorority members from Zeta Phi Beta. This initiative is part of the sorority founders Day activities and aims to provide students in grades three through five with a unique and enriching experience.
Various stations were set up covering topics such as Black history, yoga, cyber, bullying, and beauty. So we’re giving them the opportunity to have hands on touch and feel of different careers. We want to expose them at an early age of all the wide
Variety of possibilities that they can be and grow up to be. Some things include health. We have robotics, we have STEM, we also want to encourage them to be the best person that they can be and to understand that they are love, they are values and they are important.
And so we also have a beauty station so that they can affirm that. Additionally, the event featured multiple career stations allowing Children to explore diverse professions, including health care, architecture, legal industry, military stem, cyber security broadcasting, and much more. And we all know how beneficial stem can be.
But I think this is a really great opportunity for kids, especially young people to be able to branch out and learn about the different aspects. ST I can be able to bring to their own um knowledge and they threw broadcasting in there and they too, which is very
Nice. I love these moments to where they’re able to explore all of those options. I felt like even in that situation, they almost didn’t feel pressure to pick one. Right. Sometimes you end up enjoying something because of a person or, you know, something cool that they did.
But I felt like this gave them the chance to really just think through what they were given and they, you know, kind of apply it. But I also loved the, um, spa moment to where they really, I was like, this is good for men too. To me,
I’m glad that they start this in elementary school because I think our society, at least in the United States we don’t start early enough to kind of see what you’re interested in. I changed majors four times in the first two years in college trying to find my home. You know. So, I mean,
I think the earlier you can kinda get exposed to different things the better. Yeah. I know. People who aren’t even using their major, they completely different rap. Yeah.
