I'm Kara Horn, and I'm the business operations coordinator at Imperial Express and Imperial Freight Management.

00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:09.300
So, I really didn't have plans with coming to CTC until we came for a school field trip. 

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:14.000
And I signed up for three labs, like everybody does, to come.

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:20.100
So I saw the applied engineering and manufacturing program, and I was just really interested in everything that they do.

00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:26.100
Because there was so many things that you could learn in one program, and I was just like "this is really cool!"

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:33.550
So, here my time at CTC was full of lots of fun things. Like welding and getting my hands dirty wasn't something I did before then.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.400
I think it's really important to get involved and, not just your homeschool but things like CTC.

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:45.550
For one, for me personally, the biggest thing that I took away from it was the networking you get from here.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.300
So, I've gotten amazing opportunities after high school just from the students and teachers that I met here.

00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:55.500
So, I think that is one huge positive to coming to CTC.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.000
I know that I would not be where I am today, had I not come to this school.

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:07.400
And if you would have told me that as a junior coming in, I would've laughed at where my life would've gone. 

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:14.550
But I am so happy that I chose to come here, because I know I wouldn't be who I am and where I am in my career without this school.

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:19.000
Career Ready. College Ready. Life Ready

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:24.000
