When Emily signed up for Youthentity's Animal Care class as a sophomore, she had one question: Was becoming a veterinary technician the right path for her? Through hands-on learning, Emily explored veterinary equipment, visited animal hospitals, and even practiced stitching a wound on a banana!
“One of the most interesting things I've done in a classroom." — Emily

Her next step was Health Occupations, where she studied the human body, learned from medical professionals, earned First Aid and CPR certifications, and toured the Steadman Clinic. Those experiences helped Emily discover her calling: midwifery. 
“There's something powerful about the idea of helping bring a new life into the world.”— Emily

Now headed into her junior year, Emily has clarity, confidence, and a plan for her future. This is what Youthentity makes possible: opportunities to explore real careers, connect with professionals, and discover new possibilities.
