Why hello there. We got asked to do ANOTHER blog post so here we go.

So take your kid to work day is a thing that almost all gr 9 students (and only grade 9’s) participate in each year. You go to work with your mom, dad, uncle, auntie, grandma and so on. But you only chose 1 for the day.

So of course, PLP being different then what the other grade 9’s do, we had to document the entire thing and make a video on iMovie. So anyways, we had to answer a driving question, How does experiencing a workday shape our view of career choices? Which I’ll be answering at the end of this post.

So I went over to the police detachment with my dad for the day. I was meant to wake up at 5, but I guess my alarm didn’t go off, so I literally had 15 minutes to get ready. Work started at 6 and ended at 6.

So we had to make a video on iMovie. We were supposed to interview someone and ask a couple questions like do you enjoy your job, would you recommend it and so on. Unfortunately, weren’t allowed to film inside the police detachment, but I did get my dad to take a couple photos. If you’re wondering, Carmyn, why didn’t you just film outside? Well most of the police officers were either undercover (face cant be shown + posted on social media), or just simply didn’t want to be on YouTube. So I decided, why not just get ready with me while I tell you about my TYKTWD experience. So here it is:

To answer the driving question (how does experiencing a workday shape our view of career choices?), I think it shapes our view of career by opening our view to the world and living a day in the life of what the job you have a curiosity about. Obviously 1 day doesn’t show you everything they do in this world but its good to see even if it’s just a day. Who knows, maybe that’ll be your job until you’re old 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, have a good rest of your day:)

Xoxo, Carmyn 💋
