Business in Park City, Utah

Learning solely in the classroom often limits the mind to disjointed bits of information which the student can not weave together to form a tapestry of knowledge. When the learner does not see the link between the subjects, he/she usually perceives the instruction as dull and useless. It is essential that all students be encouraged to step outside of the traditional classroom boxes to understand how information can come together and be employed to begin an interesting profession. A career fair was presented at my school today, and I had the opportunity to listen to a business woman from a well known international company make an excellent presentation to several groups of students. She spoke of the importance of academics as well as the need for creativity and a strong work ethic. It made an impression on these high school pupils showing them that there are opportunities available to them, but they will need to demonstrate initiative to qualify for them. I gave a note and a small gift to this presenter to thank her for taking time out of her busy schedule to participate in this event. I am certain the students appreciated her talk.
