 Hello and welcome to the program. My name is Blaine Intensei and I'm your host today. Today, we're interviewing two students from BHS High School from the Yes program, which is the year-end studies program where they all learn about different fields that are outside of their normal curriculum. We're gonna start with two students right now, and they're going to introduce themselves. Hi, I'm Thomas. I'm in ninth grade at BHS. Hi, I'm Baset and I'm sophomore at BHS. Awesome. Welcome, welcome. So you guys are in the year-end studies program that learns about jobs and internships. Can you tell us a little bit more about what you've been doing? We've been we've been going to different places and learning about different types of jobs that we could do and learning about like different, yeah, different types of things that we can go into and how to make resumes and stuff. Like we have been moving a lot, like going to different places. The first time we like we started BHS and just couple days we've been like going to different places to learn how like things like going out, can you get a job there? What are you guys thinking about when you think about the future and what kind of jobs you want to get? Or even right now, what do you think about? Right now I've been, I kind of want to go into the culinary arts and like right now that means like dishwashing or going like maintaining the register at a restaurant, but in the future I kind of want to see if I can start my own restaurant or see where that goes. Right now like I don't have a choice yet, but I would like to work like on food track like to learn more about food because I really like like eating American food so I want to learn more how to cook them. So and like in the future I would like to focus on like on computer science. Yeah, I would like to learn more about it. So in so far we've been in the S-program for about a week. What has been some of your favorite parts of the program? Definitely for me it's been going to Generator and seeing because Generator has a lot of different like stuff that you can do like going into woodworking and we got to see how the sausage gets made, just the inner workings of engineering and yeah. I can say like all of them was my favorite, but like I can say I like all of them, but there's like some of them I don't really like it because like we have been just going and you can't send my room and go, but we already go so I like it, so it's good. Yeah, everything was good for me. Okay. Yeah. And if you're talking to someone in BHS who hasn't taken this S-program, what would you tell them about the program? It's great for figuring out what you want to do and if you're confused on how to start getting into the job arena. I can say like for everyone like who have like never taken this class they have to take and see like how it's look like maybe they might like it or not because like we get a chance to like to go different places that like you never go so like me like I went like five places right now like I mean like two of them like I never went there so was good so and like you will never know like something that will come to work like in the future so when like you take this program maybe you might like think you see something that you like and you might like like to do in the future, so yeah, it might be okay. Well, that's all the questions we have for today. Thank you for joining us guys. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome back to the show. We have two more students here and I'd like them to introduce themselves. My name is Gonzalez Aracasa and I am a freshman. My name is Premika Mangawa and I'm in 12th grade. Wonderful. Why don't you tell us a little bit about what you guys have been doing this week? Well this past week we went to the generator someplace next to Champlain Elementary and I guess I'm not really sure what we did. We didn't really do much, but the stuff that we did do I like the fact that we got to make our own houses and I don't even know I guess Premika? We went to like different kind of places and we went to like Kena Falls and we went to like different kind of like category and they're like in Kena Falls like we went to like different like kind of places and learn about like different kind of like things like different kind of like fully stuff like that. So yeah. So when you look back on the week, what's your favorite part so far? The week that we do? Yeah. I actually thought it was fun because right now like if it wasn't for the yes right now, I'd probably just be home sleeping or something. So it's a good like way of learning new things and I guess the thing that happened to me the most is I go to Hanna first because I live near there and the people there are all nice and they even taught us a little of the history and how who the rivals were, what they're what they do for a living and how long they all been working there and I'm going to surprise me that most was a guy that worked there for more than 50 years. Yeah. Well my favorite was what a fun and I like about there was looking at the view. That was really fun. Yeah. When you guys think about what your career might look like or what kind of jobs you want right now or in the future, what do you think about? When people say jobs for me what my goal is to become like a pro sports player and athlete I guess but if that doesn't really work out then I'm looking into like news I guess like being a cameraman for instance because it's just talent just found out that I was good at and or I could find myself making my own business or working for a huge working for a huge company that's where I could see myself in the future. Okay, my career and goal is to like become a nurse because I like to become a nurse and help other people that's my goal and that's that's where I like to be in the future and that's my goal and that's where I like to be in the future and like when I finish like my high school and and go to college Yeah, awesome One more question. When you guys think about the students who aren't in this class. What would you want them to know about this class? I think Well, I personally think that this class could benefit your life can benefit you in life like when you're signing up for so you know what it do on resumes and what it do to rival other people like they might be also going for the same job as you and I think it is I think this is a good program and If you do I guess you could have a brighter future I guess like Before I guess when I got here when I got here first I could have remembered if I picked this class or not so I was confused and Like lost because first I didn't even know what this class was. I thought I thought I chose like athletic sport and all that but all this past week all this other place we've been going to have like actually made me think twice on like What I'm doing with my life and what I can do to make it even better. Awesome. So, yeah well my for like advice for other people is Is to like to choose for this class is to like to work like because I'm a work like hard worker person and For this class like I work hard. So It's better for them to like work hard because I work really hard Do like of life or a job. So yeah Thank you Thanks for coming on. That's all the questions we have. Thank you for having me.
