  24. Ashley • 2nd semester 10th grade • Her school had a once a month grade level seminar class. Her photography teacher was her seminar teacher. • Because she started exploring her careers in 6th grade, Ashley was actually able to take college level courses when she was a freshman and realized right away that she didn’t want to be in Marketing after all, she really loved Criminal Justice! • Knowing what websites to go to, what program advisors to speak too and what parts of herself she was confident in, made her a successful Concurrent Enrollment student and an advocate for her learning (some people call this great Financial Aid too)!

  26. Ashley • 12th grade • Updated Postsecondary Workforce Goal: • Joining the staff of a local Correctional Facility • Has 12 college coursework credits • In the beginning of her ICAP, Ashley has changed her mind a number of times but still to this day remembers the results of the Cluster Finder during her sophomore year that unanimously declared she was meant for Criminal Justice and Public Safety. • Her advisor at the time helped her understand that she could talk to her counselor about scheduling classes for her throughout high school that were related to and best prepare her for having a career in criminal justice. • This advisor also thought long and hard about what other experiences she could do outside of school too…She volunteered, mentored youth and shadowed a Parole Officer for a semester. • Ashley started applying to college at the beginning of her senior year.
