Lewisville Morning Rotary Club member John Pokorny joins 9 other community members invited to share the story of their career.
The event took place Friday morning April 29th at Central Elementary Schools. Starting at 8 AM where we had the opportunity to meet fellow presenters over coffee and a sweet, we were soon dispatched to our class rooms were we made 20 minute presentations to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade class room students about our career. When our presentation was complete we were led to another class room. We each had 4 class rooms to present to students how we decided on our career and why we enjoy our career.
The well organized event was fun...at least for Mr. Pokorny who hopes it was fun for the kids and somehow inspiring as they consider what they want to be when they grow-up. We were asked how we selected our career, the favorite parts of our job, how long we have been doing our job, how much experience we had when we started, how many hours we work, do we drive to work, what kind of tools we use, how do we dress for our job and what kind of space do we work. There was a pretty good mix of careers that spoke: Engineers, Security, Military, Marketing, Physical Fitness and others. All presenters were impressed with the level of interest and the questions the students asked. They are well on their way to sparkling careers of their own.
