What did you like about the Career Dreams program? What would you change?

Good points were covered. Should be shared by all in school. I would like to have more time. All students should be able to have an opportunity to share this program at one point during their years in school.
I like that it motivates the students to lay out what their dreams, aspirations and naturally, passions. Also, I like that these ideas are relayed to the principal and Superintendent so the students can get the best education yet they are not pushed to get grades but they are going to school because they like it.
I liked the projects. I wouldn’t change a thing.
The self-elevating activities. Nothing, except more time.
The speaker was very helpful so, I was more into it and I paid closer attention. I’m not sure what I would change.
The assignment, that we did. My grades.
I liked the perfect school exercise. I can’t really think of anything that needs to be changed.
I liked the Career because the speaker talk about all kind of thing I can of thing I would like to do.
Some things. I wouldn’t change anything.
