00:37.140 --> 00:39.060
- [Jesse Pilgrim] Kids have the
potential to become anything

00:39.060 --> 00:39.893
they want to be.

00:39.893 --> 00:42.100
But choosing the path
tends to be the challenge.

00:42.100 --> 00:44.100
The Deagu Middle Highschool on Camp Walker

00:44.100 --> 00:46.440
hosts its first career exploration fair

00:46.440 --> 00:48.770
to help students narrow down that list.

00:48.770 --> 00:53.530
- So we actually have the
six graders in the same areas

00:53.530 --> 00:54.490
as our high schoolers

00:54.490 --> 00:56.987
because as middle schoolers
seem to start thinking about

00:56.987 --> 00:58.130
"If I wanna be a doctor,

00:58.130 --> 01:00.260
then I need to take certain classes

01:00.260 --> 01:01.170
when I get into high school

01:01.170 --> 01:02.980
and I can actually start
those in middle school".

01:02.980 --> 01:06.130
So they need to know exactly
what their plan needs to be

01:06.130 --> 01:07.590
for the next few years,

01:07.590 --> 01:09.500
so that they can get into that college

01:09.500 --> 01:10.333
that they want to

01:10.333 --> 01:12.070
and get that career training they need.

01:12.070 --> 01:15.390
- And so I came down here
to talk to the middle school

01:15.390 --> 01:16.420
and high school students

01:16.420 --> 01:18.320
about what it would look like

01:18.320 --> 01:20.870
to be a chaplain in the military

01:20.870 --> 01:23.460
or also be a pastor in the civilian world.

01:23.460 --> 01:25.820
It was a honor today to come and talk

01:25.820 --> 01:28.730
to the middle school and
high school students here.

01:28.730 --> 01:30.500
- [Jesse Pilgrim] Service
members and DOD civilians

01:30.500 --> 01:32.150
volunteered to talk to students

01:32.150 --> 01:34.990
from grade six through
twelve about their jobs.

01:34.990 --> 01:38.100
The college exploration fair
takes place the following day

01:38.100 --> 01:40.570
and gives students an
idea of available colleges

01:40.570 --> 01:41.770
and what they offer.

01:41.770 --> 01:43.540
Reporting from Camp Walker Career,

01:43.540 --> 01:45.153
I'm army Sergeant Jesse Pilgrim.
