Addison's Internship



I am so proud of Addison and her accomplishments this school year. She has done such wonderful work her junior year and making some fantastic choices about her future. First semester she took a Health Science class at ATEC which prepares students for careers in the medical field. She is still debating either a career in nursing or dental hygiene. She did so well in this class last semester that she was chosen to participate in an intern program this semester and will earn honors credit for this internship. She was the only one chosen from her high school and I am so proud of her! The first part of the nine weeks she attends the Fine Arts Center one day a week during third block and the other 4 days she is at a dentist office. The last half of the semester she will attend the Fine Arts Center one day a week as before but she will spend the remaining 4 days at the hospital I work and will shadow with a nurse in different departments. She has very much enjoyed it thus far and has learned ALOT at the dental office already. It will be awesome having her at the hospital soon, too. Great job, Addison! I am just so proud of her and especially the fact that she attends seminary, keeps her grades up at school, maintains a job which she uses her income to pay car insurance and her cell phone, loves serving as President of her Laurel class at church with the Young Women's program, and still manages to have a good time with her family and friends. You're an awesome girl, Addison, and I love you so much. Keep up the good work -- you're amazing!
