Advice from the Superintendent

EVIT Superintendent Dr. Sally Downey stopped by the PM medical assisting class last week to talk with students about what it is like to be a woman in a leadership role.

The students - most of who are female - were exploring different possible careers, and Dr. Downey wanted to tell them to find their passion and pursue it.

"It is so important to find out what your passion is and then work in it," Dr. Downey said. "If your passion is what you're doing every day, it's not work. Do it because it's something that makes you really, really happy, because if it makes you happy, you'll be good at it."

Dr. Downey also said that the students should strive to never stop learning, regardless of what path they take after EVIT.

"Education is the best insurance policy you can have because nobody can ever take that away from you," she told the students.
