So up until I was eight often times my parents picked me up from school and took me to work so that I wouldn't have to stay in school all afternoon but they could still work. Both my parents are engineers, different engineers but I never bothered to remember what kind.
My mom’s workplace was a tall building with a fountain at the entrance, white cubicles placed next to each other with computers and a blue rug. I knew a few of her work friends and they would help me reach the jar of lollipops in the break room, other than that I don't remember much.
My dad’s workplace I do, however. It looked old, dirty and small on the outside, inside it was much cleaner. There was a main room with a printer, and next to it was a meeting room with a large whiteboard, which is where I spent most of my time. I would try to copy the strange images of electrical wire work and machines. I also broke the printer once and didn’t tell my dad, but he found out. Past that room there were a bunch of cubicles where occasionally I would find one of my dad’s friends to play with me. I also often stole pencils and other office supplies from cubicles if they looked cool enough.
I wouldn't say it had a big impact on my life except I was a little more entertained as a small child. I wasn’t inspired to become and engineer, and I didn’t learn anything because I was a child who didn’t really have the attention span for it, but I definitely appreciated not having to stay after school with the teachers.
Great idea to help children develop clear career goals that can motivate them to work in school. BUT please do it during the summer NOT a school day - it totally disrupts the learning that day for all the other students who are unable to go. As a teacher, this program is so frustrating and thoughtless. It leaves us with half a class adn we don't want to do new material that those missing have to make up so it si a filler day. Teachers can have the remaining studetns work on career goals and research different careers so they get a similar experience adn benefit.
My family owns two businesses. As I am approaching the age where I am legally allowed to work in establishments, my mom has taken me to work generous times. I love it. I get to be productive in a work environment and still be surrounded by familiar faces.
It can always be intimidating to start your first job but being surrounded with the people I love the most, has taken lots of that stress actor away.
The employees at the restaurant become part of your heart and in biggest significance; extended family. We always try to find the light when working and never think of it as a task but more of an activity to look forward too. The environment your surrounded in, is very crucial when getting work done. That’s why we always try to make it uplifted.
“Take your child to work day” occurs very often for me, as I resemble the little girl, close to her mom, observing her at work in hopes her skills will pass on.
Like illustrated in the picture, there are so many people working hard, having different roles to accomplish. It can get overwhelming and unorganized as people come from different directions from all parts of the restaurant and noises crash all together. Although at the end of the day, I sit back and think of the blessing I have. To know the love and sweat poured into from my family to make these two businesses so successful.

I personally I have never gone to a take your child to work day with either of my parents. My Dad is a Union Laborer, which in simpler terms it means he does construction work on the roads. My Mom on the other hand is like a jack of all trades, She does pottery in her studio outside our home. She is a hairdresser and cuts hair in our house, and cleans houses. So the opportunity to for a take your child to work day doesn't really exist for me. If my Mom was gonna take me to work, well I would walk down stairs. One time I went with my Dad to work, and I actually had a blast. It was late at night and they called him end cause it was urgent. We went out and and the road they were working on wasnt level, and cars bumpers were just slamming down on the road. So me and my dad kept going back and forth with wheelbarrows of dirt to fill out the road. So I would really enjoy if my dads job did an official take your child to work day.
Yes I have visited my mothers work. She works at an elementary school as a principal.The experiment was good I got to be my mother little helper for the day .when she was not sitting at her desk I got to. I cleaned her desk when I go there. Sometimes when I go to her work I get to go work for one of the teachers. One time my school went to my mother's work and read books to the kids. I go to my mothers to work a lot and have spent A day with her. sometimes I even bring my rabbits to her school and show the little kids. She always lets me go to places only the teacher can go in like the teacher room. Where I can get food. She always makes me do stuff when I am there. My mother has worked there since I was just born so I go there a lot. Almost once a week. I know where almost everything is in school. I don't think I will be a principal it seems so stressful.
Yes I have visited my dad at work. It was cool seeing him work and wanted to try it out. He works as a painter and it was satisfying seeing him paint the walls and other things. Yea I enjoyed seeing what my dad does everyday. I learn working hard can lead you into good things, and putting hard work into our work. I don’t wanna paint when I grow up because I wanna be a doctor. I will love to go again and and see how my dad paints the buildings and wall. My mom is a housewife, and I love that she would stay with us so she can take good care of us. And when I have children in the future I wanna do the same.
My mother actually worked at where I attended middle school. In fact, I had her as a teacher when I was in sixth grade.
So, I have visited my mother at work quite often. I enjoyed being there because it had become like a second home to me. I knew everyone and where everything was. I do enjoy seeing them "in action". I had been so used to seeing her there that I learned all there was to know over the first year she was there.
I always have loved the idea of being a teacher, but my moms tells me to never be a teacher when I get older.
My father missed the majority of my childhood because he was on the road, traveling all over the world, working to support his family. He was employed by GE and worked inside of Nuclear Reactors, making sure they were working properly, allowing us to turn our lights on. My mother cared to my younger brother, and sister, who she was pregnant with for part of the time, increasing the already climaxed stress levels. She worked part time and did freelance book keeping work in between PTA meetings, soccer carpools, boy scouts trips and taking care of herself. It was a lot. My father no longer travels because of the stress it put on both of them. After being raised 6 months out of the year by a single parent I grew to understand how important that job was. I am glad I have been able to visit my parents at work everyday, as they are parents, who have inspired me to grow to be a one in the future as well. It is said to be the most challenging job of all.
I’ve have shadowed my mom at work. Recently, she has let me shadow one her colleague. From the start, I loved everything about that job. My mothers colleague is a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and she showed me the world of adorable babies.
Every step, I fell more in love with the occupation. I saw a day in the life of a nurse, following what they do and how to give the best care to patients. I was given the marvelous opportunity to watch as the doctors and nurses talked directly with patients to best shape the care given to them.
And I gave lots of questions to my mothers colleague. A Lot of questions.
At the end of the day, I came back home with a new perspective and my father responded to my change with, “you’ve never looked happier”. I knew what I wanted to do with my life. For years, I have been never able to truly answer that question because I had so many variables that the jobs suggested couldn't satisfy. Starting from last week, I’m excited to announce that I have found that question. I plan on working my hardest so I can see myself in the shoes of nurses today.
My father works at a place called Par Kan. For school we had to go and job shadow one of our parents jobs which was my fathers job. Some of the things I saw him do was load up cans take down the number of shipments that were leaving and put them in a computer. I feel like this isn’t something for me cause I want to do law enforcement after high school. I’ve been to my fathers work and he seems to not enjoy as much but likes to work for a business he started up which is cleaning monument stones at cemetery’s. He loves to do it and makes a great profit by doing that. Once his business is growing he’ll be happy to do what he does with that job.
I haven’t visited my parents at work. I would probably want to visit them at work so I can experience what they go through day to day basis. I always want to know why they complain about certain things. I probably haven’t visited my parents, but I have been in a job shadow for De Puy. It was a great experience, the workplace is super clean and well organized. I learned many things that can be really useful in the workforce. I learn the process of what an Manufacturing Engineering goes through regularly.
My parents established their own company, and by establishing their company it radiated their pride (the company dealt with remodeling). Visiting my parents at work meant the world to me, because i knew that it would mean same to them. It wasn't all glitz and glamour for both of my parents, but rather a series of challenges that needled their faith. My parents, both being immigrants (now citizens), left their home countries in search for a better future. Starting with nothing, both of my parents worked painstakingly hard to make a living in New York, and had to deal with the passing of their first born child. Knowing what they have sacrificed for me and my brothers, makes me thankful for such wonderful parents. My experience upon visiting them during work makes me emotional, because of how far they made it in life without giving up. The one thing that I will always remember from my parents, is that they wanted me to not experience what they have gone through, but to accomplish the things that they could not accomplish. The sacrifices they made, the risks they made, were all the reasons for me to pursue my career. Both of my parents are the reason why I chose to challenge myself curricularly, even though it may be hard I am still persistent.

My mother was not employed in my early childhood years. She chose to stay at home and raise me and my two brothers while my father went off each day to the hanger early each day preparing his planes for week long trips across the country. Although she says she wouldn’t trade the memories she had with us for the world, she was never quite satisfied with her simply domestic lifestyle. Towards the end of my elementary school years, she decided she’d return to school to get her degree in teaching. Over the next few years between running from soccer practice to the local university back to PTO meetings and finally home to finish her essay deadlines, my mother rekindled her love for learning, education, and-the core of teaching-helping others. During those years, although I may not have been visiting her workplace, I got to watch my mom’s determination and drive in meeting a goal she had set for herself. Getting to go visit her 6th grade English class and see the work and compassion my mother puts into her students’ hearts each day continues to amaze me. I’m extremely grateful to have such a strong and empowering female role model to not only inspire but also encourage my constantly in my own pursuits.
