It’s probably the biggest decision teens will make before they are adults. And it’ll no doubt have a major effect on their lives: what path to pursue after high school. Ava’s special two-part report presents career opportunities many teens might not be aware of.

Skilled workers are retiring much faster than new workers are entering these fields. Studies show that in the next 4 years more than 11 million jobs won’t be able to find skilled workers. But there is an organization that’s working to change that. In part two of our special report, Ava talks to two people that explain why this could be a great opportunity for teens after high school.

Whether it comes from parents, teachers, friends, or even from within, many teens live with lots of pressure. Sometimes that pressure creates such a fear of failing that it prevents trying. In this week’s “If at First You Don’t Succeed,” Emily explains how Michael Jordan turned failure into mega-success!

We can all use some advice on how to do our best in school… Christin has another “Make the Grade” report.

Whether from drinking alcohol or using any type of drugs, driving “under the influence” is dangerous. And the National Road Safety Foundation wants you to remember that so they sponsored this short video.

Most of us have been doing it since kindergarten: we stand up, face the American flag, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Ava tells us that a similar ceremony takes place every day – across the U.S. and even around the world. The ceremony is called Colors and it’s a time-honored tradition of the U.S. Military.

In this week’s “Misleading Monikers” Katarina explains why you shouldn’t call jellyfish, jellyfish.
