VBS and School to Career

While everyone else was playing with the panda bears at VBS Pandamania....
and singing on the worship team....
and hanging with girlfriends....
lots of girlfriends....
Erika and her friend Sophie were hard at work learning all about a career in the health care field. They attended an excellent day camp held at the local hospital that introduced them to all aspects of healthcare. They performed and learned about lots of tests, got blood typed, CPR and first aid training, got a cast put on, visited local doctors and outdoor rescue center and there was much more.
She has a certificate. Way to go, Erika.
Erika and Sophie in their hospital garb.They are super cute together and good support for each other.
Announcing: Future OB Nurses of America. So they say.
Erika went on to complete the American Red Cross Babysitting course in a nearby city the following week. Her first words to me when she graduated were, "Mom, now I can earn money for college." That girl is going places! So proud.
