The clock is ticking, and we're down to just 8️⃣ days before College and Career March! 🎉 Meet our senior Amari Smith, who’s been with us for 6 years! Amari is pursuing her passion for healthcare, with dreams of becoming a nurse or ultrasound tech. 🏥✨ Over the summer, she took a big step toward her dreams and gaining real world experience by participating in a Parkland internship: "It gave me a lot of exposure on how it is to work in the hospital and the things that I would see on an everyday basis if I were to become a nurse." She’s considering schools like Stephen F. Austin and St. Edward’s University to continue her journey of learning and growing. 💙 📅 Families, join us on Dec. 6th to cheer on Amari and all our amazing seniors at the College & Career March as they celebrate their bright futures ahead! #CollegeBound #CareerMarch #SeniorSpotlight #Classof2024 #upliftproud #roadtocollegeandcareer #RTCC #UpliftHeightsscholarculture
