Hello, my name is Cristina Babaresi and I am a junior at Newmarket Jr/Sr High School.  I would like to take this time at the start off my speech to thank each and every one of you here today.  Without you I and many other students would not be here.  As I take many steps further into my high school career I see many things opening to me.  I owe a lot of gratitude to school to career and all of you.  I have been in school to career since sixth grade.  When I was new to a big school,  I as told I could always come o the guidance office or even Miss Winterbottom.   I took both of these options and used them to my biggest and best advantage.  At first I was just a student ho talked to Miss Winterbottom and now I am so far ahead.  In seventh grade I really started to work outside of the office with school to career.  I started to give up my study hall to go to the elementary school and help with Mrs. Hatch’s first grade class.  I would read to them, help them with class work, and be a good friend.  In eighth grade I helped Miss Winterbottom in her office with filing.  In that time she helped me with my resume, which I would use later in high school.  In my freshman year of high school, Ms Winterbottom came to me asking if I would like to help a young boy.  I would go to the elementary school and help this young boy learn t make friends.  I felt so great helping this boy.  By the end of the year he was so much fun.  There wasn’t a moment of the day he wasn’t smiling.  Now I can see this boy around town and still not once have I seen him frown.  Today he has many friends, and plays tag at recess.  Sophomore year many things happened to Newmarket.  Such as the flood and the loss of a good friend and student, because of this unfortunately I was unable to complete a job shadow.  The beginning of junior year I talked to Miss Winterbottom and got a job shadow at Acorns in Durham.  Again I would like to say thank you to all the employers who gave a student like me the chance to experience a day in the life of our dream job.  I had a hands on job shadow as a chef.  I helped make fruit, vegetable, and cheese platters, vegetarian burritos, fixed up the salad bar, and made the caramel for sticky buns.  I did this all with the help of a woman named Deb, and a man named Rick.  I learned the ins out and outs of a kitchen.  Thanks to the job shadow I was offered a job that I will so be applying for. Although I for feel very strongly about culinary I also do wish to take job shadows of physiology and dentistry.  Thankfully my school has this program so I can job shadow these professions s well.  Again I think I speak for everyone when I say there is such gratitude for the people ho have taken the time out of their busy schedules to come and have breakfast with us.  I really appreciate that all of you make it today.

It has been great thank you for everything…

Enjoy the rest of your day.
