Period 5 Careers/Computers
Lowell High School Business Department
http://tricreek.schoolwires.com/tricreek/site/default.asp
 
This is one of the most important classes you will take in high school.  This is the class where we talk about, and begin to plan your future.  You will learn how to create a resume, cover letter, thank you letter, fill out a job application, learn how to interview for a job, research careers you might be interested in after high school, and so much more!

I hope that you are excited about this class.  Students are always wanting to know why they need to learn something, and when will they use it in their "real lives".  Well, this is the class for you.  Everything you learn in this class, you will use in your "real life".  So, please stay on track with the class.  Be organized and give yourself enough time to accomplish the tasks.  This is YOUR future!

I believe that great communication with parents and students is essential to a student's success.  I can be reached by email or voicemail.  I check both daily, and will respond quickly.  Please don't hesitate to contact me for any reason.  If you need time in the computer lab, please let me know and we can set up a time for you to stay after school.

I will be adding fun games and activities to go along with most chapters.  So, check back often to see if I have added any new ones.  Playing these games will help you achieve higher scores on your tests and quizzes.  Go ahead and play!

An excerpt taken from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey:
"You're young.  You're free.  You have your whole life before you.  You're standing at the crossroads of life and you have to choose with paths to take...The paths you choose today can shape you forever.  It's both frightening and exciting that we have to make so many vital decisions when we're so young and full of hormones, but such is life.  Imagine an 80 foot rope stretched out before you.  Each foot represents one year of your life.  Teenagehood is only seven years, such a short span of rope, but those seven affect the remaining sixty-one, for good or bad, in such a powerful way."
