My name is Kali Rowlette.

00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:05.900 align:middle line:84%
I am a sophomore at
Maritime High School.

00:00:05.900 --> 00:00:09.090 align:middle line:84%
It's never really a normal
day at Maritime High School.

00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:12.480 align:middle line:84%
It's always something new,
and it's always something fun.

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.480 align:middle line:84%
It is exhilarating every day,
no matter what day you show up.

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.000 align:middle line:84%
Students are doing things
with their learning that

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.130 align:middle line:84%
are similar to what
they might do if they

00:00:22.130 --> 00:00:23.610 align:middle line:90%
were working in the industry.

00:00:23.610 --> 00:00:26.210 align:middle line:84%
As part of that, we do
pretty extensive field work

00:00:26.210 --> 00:00:28.733 align:middle line:84%
experiences, so they
get a chance to network

00:00:28.733 --> 00:00:30.650 align:middle line:84%
with people who might
be scientists or working

00:00:30.650 --> 00:00:33.840 align:middle line:84%
in marine construction or
jobs at the Port of Seattle,

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:34.910 align:middle line:90%
for example.

00:00:34.910 --> 00:00:37.430 align:middle line:84%
Our boat-based learning
and hands-on activities

00:00:37.430 --> 00:00:39.740 align:middle line:84%
really helped me
understand and grasp

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:43.190 align:middle line:84%
the things that are happening on
the boat and in the classroom.

00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:45.620 align:middle line:84%
A lot of the value that our
mentors and these field work

00:00:45.620 --> 00:00:47.085 align:middle line:84%
experiences bring
to the program is

00:00:47.085 --> 00:00:49.460 align:middle line:84%
helping students see that
there's a lot of different ways

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:51.630 align:middle line:84%
that you can get to a
lot of different jobs.

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:55.220 align:middle line:84%
Our school helps us prep
to go into the real world

00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:58.800 align:middle line:84%
by building connections with
people in the maritime field.

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.340 align:middle line:84%
And for those who
don't feel like going

00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:03.570 align:middle line:84%
into the maritime field
after high school,

00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.170 align:middle line:84%
they also help us build
professional communication

00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:09.510 align:middle line:84%
skills and finding a way
to advocate for ourselves.

00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:11.660 align:middle line:84%
I personally really
want to do something

00:01:11.660 --> 00:01:14.390 align:middle line:84%
related to culinary
arts, whether that be

00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:19.130 align:middle line:84%
a head chef on a boat
somewhere or a sous chef.

00:01:19.130 --> 00:01:23.570 align:middle line:84%
I feel like I belong here
because all the staff

00:01:23.570 --> 00:01:26.300 align:middle line:84%
and teachers have made
it so that it feels

00:01:26.300 --> 00:01:28.230 align:middle line:90%
like it's a very open place.

00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:30.620 align:middle line:84%
It always feels like
a warm hug whenever

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:32.660 align:middle line:84%
you walk into the
building, and I really

00:01:32.660 --> 00:01:34.430 align:middle line:84%
like that about
Maritime High School.
