Shadows Watch Workers

Brain Hoesing

A shadow, a reflected image or a companion or follower. he Shadow program is one in which a high school student, is allowed for one day to take the time and observe a profession. The businessman invites this student into his daily occurrences and attitudes toward his career as he goes about this business.

This fine program allows high school students across the nation to observe someone in a career field that interests them. They may also choose a field they know little or nothing about. I have been to two recently and find them to be an excellent source of education. They have given me insight upon medical career fields.

As a junior, I thought that this program was highly overrated. Now, I feel it was worthwhile and a valuable learning experience. Little do many people know that not only does one learn about his or her possible career, but many scholarships are given to those who participate as well. I strongly encourage any one who has a chance to take part in this Shadow Program, and experience it for themselves.
