Tech campus

What is tech campus? Is a question i get asked frequently when i tell somebody attend it suring school hours. I have my regular classes; weights, math, english, issues and at 12:20 everyday i board a bus to take me along with a few other students from deerfield to the Highschool Technology campus of Grayslake. tech campus offers numerous of opportunities to students to explore fields or get ahead start in a certaing career. For me, the idea of working in the medical field interested me. My sophomore year here at DHS, i heard about this program and asked my counslor about it. I studied the medical assisting program for junior, so as a junior i took medical assisting and we learned alot of things. We studied out own blood undermicrosopes, learned to take basic care of the sick patients or residenta. And for my senior uear i took the following program...CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTING. It crazy to think that as a graduating senior in high schooh you have the opportunity to get certified in something in the health care field. Of course its not easy, it takes alot of time and skills to be able to accomplish this. This saturday May 19 i will be taking my state exam to evaluate if i have the skills to become a certified nursing asisstant and if i do i will be a CNA!! Its exciting and alot are impressed to hear that a senior fresh out of highschool can already be a certified nursing assistant. I think that more kids would take this opportunity if they knew a bit more about it, and schools should do a better job at presenting apportunities like this to the students. And that more schools should have the right programs to offer these sort of opportunities to their studets.
