Since the 2024-2025 school year is soon ending, juniors are starting to look at their next step in furutre by college searching. Most juniors have an idea of what they want to go for or know of some colleges that they are interested in.
Junior Bethany Stufflet wants to go to the Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences to become a nurse and work in labor and delivery. She found out about the college through family friends and her parents. She was able to gain more information on it from the Alvernia college fair and the college tour she took at the school. She plans on introducing herself to some medical work experience by job shadowing next year and by getting a job this summer at a doctors office.
Another Junior Morgan Riegel also wants to go into the medical field after high school. She plans on getting her undergraduate degree in biology and then continuing to medical school in order to become an emergency medicine physician. Her two big colleges that she is looking into going to are Rutgers or Cornell, both schools that she found out about through research. She currently meets the criteria for Rutgers and soon will meet them for Cornell. Although she has not gone on any college tours, she does have a good grasp on how she attends to get to college. She will be going to college recruiters, guidance counselors, and her parents for help in figuring out college.
One other junior, Allie Houck, also intends to go to college for something medical-related. She wants to be a registered nurse so that she can exlpore the nursing field before she picks one specific type of job. Her dream school would be the University of Michigan, but she would rather go to Penn State Schuylkill due to being able to obtain a good degree for a less expensive price. She was able to find out about this local college due to her brother who goes to another local Penn State school. Overall, she will figure out what college fits her best when she starts her college tours.
With these students plans, it shows how everybody has their own ways of figuriing out what they want to do after high school.
