Real world experience: Mentorship program gives students insight into careers
0417mentorship1
Chestatee High junior Samantha Fons makes her presentation to Dillon Brewster and Macey Fons during the Hall County Mentorship Program Tuesday evening at The Oaks at the Lanier Charter Career Academy. Almost 60 Hall County high school students have spent the last school year with mentors as part of the program.
Taylor Jarrard, a Chestatee High School senior, has known she wants to be a midwife since she watched her close friend give birth at age 16. Before that moment, Jarrard said she thought she wanted to follow in the footsteps of most of her family members and become a teacher. But now, Jarrard said she sees how closely related the two fields are and how critical it is to educate people about health.
