What passion or career path have you discovered while attending Jessamine County Schools?

While attending Jessamine County Schools, I have discovered a multitude of career paths through the JCTC pathway program. From law to early childhood education, the pathway program is extremely interactive and supports students’ plans. I eventually discovered the Speech Language Pathology career through the Rising Educators pathway, which I am now pursuing in college. I have gained very valuable experiences from this pathway, such as in-class observations and mock interviews, which have greatly prepared me for my future. 

What does "Community" mean to you?

Community means being part of a group of people who support each other and work together. For me, community is my school because it brings students, teachers, and staff together to help each other learn and grow. Being part of school activities and sports helps build teamwork, friendships, and responsibility. Community is important because it creates a place where people feel connected, included, and supported 

Can you describe a time you used "Critical Thinking" or "Work Ethic" to overcome a challenge in or out of the classroom?

Can you describe a time you used "Critical Thinking" or "Work Ethic" to overcome a challenge in or out of the classroom?

There have been many times I've used work ethic and critical thinking outside of school. One way that I vividly remember is my time as a camp counselor classes and working the greenhouse for agriculture--using work ethic in greenhouse and using critical thinking during camp counselor training/classes.
