"I like coming to career day because I wanted to learn about the jobs I picked and what I could become when I grow up," said third-grader Benjamin Dunford.

"We get to learn about people in different jobs and get a look at our future," said third-grader Kelsey Brennan.

"I liked the special agent because I thought what he does is cool and he helps stop other people from trying to hurt us," said fifth-grader Danny Burns."

"I liked the author because what he said was highly interesting," said fourth-grader Sasha. "He writes children's books."

"My favorite career that I saw was the florist because she had a lot of really pretty things that she had pictures of," said fourth-grader Delia Mischel.

"My favorite career was the Patch editor because I like working with the computer and like to find things out," fourth-grader Nick Duffala.
