Welcome to Wednesday! Today we begin our career exploration class. Our first class will be about transitions. For each student, transitions from CYAC will mean something different.

In today's journal, write what your goals are at CYAC (what do you want to accomplish here) and what your transition goals are after CYAC (where do you want to be after you have completed your goals here).
