For the fourth year in a row, the ACE Foundation’s College and Career Readiness for Success Forum was held January 3rd in the auditorium. The event featured not only returning panelists such as Tom Tesoro, Vice President of Human Resources at Standard Motor Products, and moderator Mr. Eric August, but new voices including all the graduated and current students, and even the mother of a graduate and current student.<\/p>\n

The knowledge the group shared with the audience ranged from experiences in the school system and lessons already learned in college, to what colleges and later, employers, will be looking for students upon graduation and beyond. As intimidating as thoughts about life that far ahead might be, the eight student panelists were prepared to reassure any worries. The graduates especially were proof that the students in the audience would get through their stressful search for success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went through a lot of phases where I didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do in high school…I ended up really committing to the fact that I was going to go into medicine…but I realized that wasn\u2019t for me\u201d Cristina Catana, Class of 2017, said.<\/p>\n

Catana was not the only one who found two distinctly different passions in her years at school. Her freshman year, Gabriela Kwiatkowski, Class of 2018, was completely convinced that her calling was to be a farmer. Little did she know that she would discover love elsewhere in Mock Trial where she could showcase her talents for acting and passion for the law. Kwiatkowski believes that choosing to participate in this club sophomore year was the most important part of her high school experience.
\nYet there are still others students who will graduate, grow into adults and discover untapped passions long into their career paths. Tom Tesoro reassured these students that it may take a little longer to find what it is that they love to do, but it will happen. After going to school to become a lawyer, Tesoro never thought he would find himself in the human resources department of a multibillion dollar company.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell from experience that some of you will know exactly what you want to do with your life…many more of you will find your passion later in life\u2026 But still others of you will find your passion has nothing to do with the career you\u2019re in\u201d Tesoro said.
\nNo matter what a student\u2019s passion is, they can be successful in any field they chose. The panelists at the forum emphasized that there are certain attributes to develop in a student\u2019s lifetime that will aid them in achieving success wherever they end up. Tesoro explained that while maintaining teamwork skills and a well-developed ability to communicate, a student\u2019s problem solving skills are critical to \u201cany endeavor\u201d that they take on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is, at the end of the day, all of you will be successful if you apply yourself\u201d Tesoro said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
