The Importance of College Education

During an individual's High School career, they may begin to question the importance of a college education. They find themselves asking the question, "Is College really worth it?" The answer to this question is more likely, yes! Attending college provides graduates with many more opportunities that aren't available to those who have no higher education.

For manyt high school students, the ability to immediately generate an income after graduation may be an appealing thought. They may also be dissuaded by the rising cost of tuition. While it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses one will ever face, the importance of a college education has been quite evident in terms of earning potential in today's economy.

A college education can lead to more opportunities in working life, especially for higher paid occupations. When persuing a continued education, students could gain opportunities to work with some outstanding professionals in their field of study. Individuals would also become aware of what is accessible to them within different levels of education.

Many programs such as those in Medicine, Nursing, OT, PT, and others offer challenging and rewarding careers after graduation. If you are in one of these programs you'll be preparing for many opportunities available to you once your college education is complete. Realizing your college education is an investment into your future is the first step.

Halloween and Safety Post

Do your children enjoy Halloween? They should! It's considered a special time in thier lives where; for one day only, they get to have fun with friends, wear scary costumes, and enjoy candies and sweets! Halloween is when your entire block is decorated with bat-shaped cut-outs, lighted jack-o-lanterns, and other spooky yet crafty artwork! One of the best parts of Halloween is Trick or Treating for delicious candy and snacks, but it's also important that everyone stay safe on Halloween, especially children who are going out. Here's some Safety Tips to remember when going Trick or Treating!

  • Always have a chaperon or an adult with children when Trick or Treating. This is an important tip to follow, especially for younger children who are considering going alone. Never let a child go Trick or Treating by themselves. This can be considered unsafe and it's not as fun if the kids are by themselves. If your child doesn't want any parents to come, you can always have a friend or older sibling to go with them. Older siblings like candy too you know!

  • Being bigger, does mean better! Children as well as adults can benefit from large Trick or Treating groups. This way the kids can be around thier friends, and adults will also have company. Plus, it's much easier for a group of adults to handle a group of children then just one adult alone. Remember, there is more safety by the numbers.

  • Try to avoid houses with their lights off. Young children may believe that every house in the neighborhood is participating in Halloween. This isn't true and can turn into a scenerio that should be avoided of. It's important to inform children the reasons for a resident having thier lights off. Reasons may include that the residents aren't home; the aren't participating in Halloween, they're out of candy, or other possible dangerous situations.

  • As a chaperon or parent, it's important to let children know the dangers of open candy given to them. Candy received already opened is considered extremely dangerous and can cause serious health issues to adults and children. If you see anything like this laid out or in a child's candy bag, throw it out without question. Be sure to inspect your child's candy completely before allowing your child to enjoy the treats.

Talking about Halloween, remember that safe and comfortable Kids Scrubs are always a great costume choice. Kids Scrubs in "hospital green" can be the perfect doctor or nurse costume, while Kid Scrubs in a dog or cat print make a fabulous veterinarian costume.
