An attendee of the Career Fair provided a quick summary of what was discussed in the fair: I learned a lot from the Virtual Career Fair session that was held from Monday to Thursday last week. I was only able to attend 3 of the 4 days (Monday to Wednesday), but even so I learned a great deal. The fair went over many jobs and how different professions in different fields require you to know and what they really do. The first day included technical professionals, like a tuba player for the military, a pilot, and many others who provided their insight on how they got their job and their journey to that job.

That day, there was a biomedical engineer who builds and flies drones that delivers medical supplies to poorer communities with no doctors or pharmacies in their vicinity. There was also a medical coder and a midwife who helps people with their newborn child. The third day, which...

An essay made by a participant of the program concerning current events:  George Floyd has become the face of a global movement. His story has exposed a big part of what has been wrong with American society: racism and police brutality. Recent movements have been led by, according to the New York Times, a combined total of about 15 million to 26 million people participating in protests across all of the United States, making it one of the largest movements in all of American history. This all began on May 25, 2020 when George Floyd, a 46 year old black man, supposedly was using a counterfeit bill and while he was getting arrested, was killed by the arresting police officer, Derek Chauvin, after he put his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly 8 minutes. The horrendous part of all this being that, while Floyd was stuck under Chauvin’s knee, he was pleading for his life and uttering the words that lead the protests we know of today: “I can’t breathe”. Floyd’s death consequently led to the ...
