Gracelyn's+M.A.C.+Career+Day

Fifth grade classes from Hoover Elementry went to the M.A.C. for career day I got two of my top three.

My first session was about working at a place like the M.A.C. I learnd that it is alot harder work there than I thought. I found out it takes a bunch of different people to set up for special events. For those people to do their certain job they have to specialize in it. I thought to work there you would have to go to college for four years but, most people only have to go two. Before the session I never thought I'd want to work there now I do.

My next session was about massage therapy. When I first got to the session the lady in charge gave us a pre-test about massage therapy and I got all of the questions right. I learned that you only have to go to college 9-10 months. I also found out that you have to make the patient relax before you start to massage. To make the patient relax you need air freshner, a dark room, and calm paintings. If the patients come to you have to use lotion on thier bare skin. What I thought the most interesting thing was that most of the time you come to the patient at an office. I had always wanted to be a massage therapist, but now I really want to be a massage therarpist.

By my third session I was hungry but once I walked in to personal banking the lady said,"If you answer a question correctly you will get a piece of candy." I learned that you don't have to go to college to be a banker but, you make more money if you do. We also got a chance to interact with fake money checks and deposits. I really enjoyed doing that because I did not know how a deposit worked. I also found out that you don't only need to be good with money but,also with people.

I had alot of fun at Career Day I hope you hold it again next even though I won't be able to go but I want other kids to experience I had.
