Today's class was spent in the computer lab with our eighth grade counselor, Ms. Hall. Students completed The Harrington-O'Shea career interest survey. Once the information was collected and tabulated, students determined the careers that are likely fits for their individual likes and aptitudes. Most students were encouraged by their results (the results matched their ideal career path). Overall, it was a valuable and interesting exercise in introspection.
