Each year professionals from across the Pennridge region spend time in the classrooms of Pennridge Central Middle School for Career Day. Designed to inspire as well as help the Pennridge Central Middle School 8th graders become more focused on their career choices as high school approaches, attorney Sandy Jainauth-Barone joined the doctors, mechanics, accountants, and other professionals sharing the ins and outs of their chosen vocations.
During their time together, Sandy shared the qualifications and qualities required to become an attorney including a review of her resume. As Sandy told the class, “It’s never too early to start thinking about your resume.” She also touched on the basics of choosing a career in law, such as the level and cost of education and the Bar Exam.
She led the students through a visualization exercise, asking them to close their eyes and picture themselves 10-15 years in the future as an attorney. What would their professional lives be like? Some of the students pictured themselves arguing a case before a judge, others saw themselves dressed nicely and working in a beautiful office.
Sandy shared that the practice of law offers many opportunities for the students to follow their passions. So, if a student is interested in animal rights, sports, or music, there is an aspect of the law that will apply. “You can align your legal career with the pursuits you love.”
Many thanks to Glenn Donaldson and Pennridge Central Middle School for this opportunity to contribute to our community.
