Careers and colleges When choosing my top five careers it was kind of hard but I managed to narrow it down to a criminal psychologist, Anesthesiologist, a Juvenile case manger, an Event coordinator, or cosmetologist/business owner.

I had the privilege of spending an afternoon at Ensworth Academy and observe the lower school art classes this September. Ensworth is a private K-12 school in the Belle Meade area of Nashville, with campus split amongst two properties. Lower and Middle School reside on one plot of land, while the Upper School is closer to a main road. The afternoon I spent with one of the four art teachers, Ms. Pickle, allowed me insight into how to effectively manage a first grade class with minimal madness.…
