"My CTE class helped me choose a career by giving me the opportunity to go to Bronson Hospital for workplace experiences. It has helped me see how caring and compassionate health care workers are towards their patients and how truly rewarding it can be. I can’t wait to be a part of that team. If you really want to be in the health care field, this is a great way - you get to do hands-on tasks in clinical settings. It also helps narrow down your career choices and goals. It helped with mine and I owe it all to this program." — Hailey McConnaghy
