I never knew all the things I could really do in the health field until the program.
I came into the program wanting to be a florist. I've found that I am interested in a path that would allow me to help children in bad situations.
I didn’t know what some of the careers even were and I like that we had people that actually do those jobs come in and tell us about them.
