[0:04] I've always been really interested in [0:06] healthcare um like ever since I was like [0:09] really little. What really resonates [0:11] with me for healthcare is that I've [0:13] always loved taking care of people and [0:16] helping people. While I was at Burns [0:17] High School, I took healthcare core [0:19] curriculum um certified nursing [0:21] assistant and emergency medical [0:23] responder. I started my internship here [0:25] at Burnsville Family Physicians [0:28] and um I started around here mid-March [0:30] until the end of the school year and now [0:32] I'm here full-time. My teacher actually [0:35] brought it up and said, "Hey, do you [0:37] guys do internships?" He's a certified [0:39] nursing assistant. And so I came and I [0:41] did an internship for them for 3 months [0:45] um while getting high school credit for [0:47] that. I feel really really grateful that [0:50] Pers High School let me do this [0:52] opportunity because um if they didn't I [0:57] would have still been not doing what I [1:00] love and that really solidified like my [1:03] career choice and this is really what I [1:06] want to do um with my life and without [1:10] that experience I'd still be second [1:11] guessing myself with what I would want [1:13] to do in my future. My name is Ben Smith [1:15] and I'm a member of the class of 2025 [1:18] from Bernzo High School.
