Positives

• Part of the video includes a personal narrative about a student who appreciates the mentoring she received in high school, and the story portrays teachers in a positive light.
• All four young people are goal-oriented, eager to learn, and determined to prove themselves in their career of choice.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• An ad plays before the video begins.
• There is mention of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on schools and students, so teachers should be aware that some students may be emotionally affected.
• The choice of trade school over college is heavily encouraged in some segments, so teachers should prepare for questions regarding the contrast.
• One of the young career professionals discusses his close relationship with a parent, so some students with differing family structures and support systems may need teacher support after watching.
• One of the segments portrays a farmer who raises hogs for pork, which might lead to discussions about vegetarianism.
• Teachers and students can share the video on social media or as a link.
  

Differentiation

• At one point in the video, a young person (Cheyenne) discusses how she has grown since she began working with metrology.  After viewing, English teachers can have students create personal narratives about a change in their thinking and what events caused it.
• Career counselors can utilize the video as a stepping stone toward discussions of various paths to careers instead of acquiring a four-year degree first.
• Two of the careers presented involve the concept of sustainability. Science teachers can utilize the information as a discussion starter in the classroom.  Students can research methods of sustainability in their hometowns.
