Seriously, What a Day! Elevate Phoenix’s Career Day Luncheon Was Pure Fire!
Okay, folks, let’s talk about the 13th Annual Senior Career Luncheon. Honestly? It was a total blast! Forget boring lectures; this was a room buzzing with excitement, like a giant brainstorm session for the future. We’re talking about our amazing graduating seniors connecting with some seriously cool professionals at Phoenix Country Club.
The whole event was about real talk! No fluff, just straight-up stories from people who’ve been there, done that. Our Career Mentors? Absolute rockstars! They took time out of their busy schedules to hang with our students, sharing their journeys, their ups and downs, and everything in between. We’re talking about real-life advice, not just textbook stuff.
Our 13th annual senior career day was the best one yet! It makes me excited to see how much better it could get along with all of the possibilities to come! – Jazmine Hall, Development Director/ Elevate Phoenix
Real World Inspiration from Our Mentors
Seriously, we’re still buzzing about the mentors. They were incredible! They showed our seniors that their dreams are totally within reach. It’s like they were saying, “Hey, we did it, and you can too!” Honestly, seeing our kids light up like that? Priceless.
And can we talk about Letitia Frye for a sec? She dropped some serious truth bombs! Her “don’t seep, stay rooted” message? Mind-blowing! It’s all about focusing on what fuels you, ditching the draining stuff, and bringing your best self to the table. That’s the kind of inspiration we need, right?
These weren’t your typical career presentations, either. Our mentors kept it real, sharing:
- How they actually got started: No sugarcoating, just the real deal.
- What their jobs are REALLY like: Forget the glossy pictures; they told it like it is.
- The path they took: School, internships, the whole shebang.
- The money talk: Salaries, growth, all the practical stuff.
- The bumps in the road: Because everyone has them, right?
- The cool opportunities: Internships and jobs, right then and there!
A Luncheon of Inspiration
This luncheon totally built on the awesome energy from our past events. Our students left feeling pumped, ready to take on the world. They were all about perseverance and stepping out of their comfort zones. That’s what we love to see!
The room was electric! Students were asking fantastic questions, and the mentors were giving well thought out answers. It was like a giant exchange of knowledge and inspiration.
We’re so grateful to everyone who made this day happen. Our amazing mentors, our rockstar students, and our dedicated staff – you guys are the real MVPs! It takes a village, and we’re so lucky to have such an awesome one.
And guess what? We’re already planning to get our middle schoolers in on the action! We’re gonna start planting those seeds of success even earlier. Get ready, world! We are making a difference!
