We took a trip back to our old stomping grounds for First Coast High School’s Career Day. (Partners, Louis and LaToya, both graduated from First Coast which made this event even more special.) It was such a pleasure to come back and connect with the students. The event included the school band along with a live DJ. We also ran into some of our old teachers and coaches. To be able to tell the students that we graduated from this very school and went on to accomplish our goals and dreams was inspiring on both sides. It was great to hear of all of the different career paths that students were interested in. We even met some students that were very interested in becoming lawyers in the future.
