Sports Management
High school senior, Kaitlyn Weinstein, has big plans for after graduation. She plans on going to college and studying sports management. Kaitlyn says “ I plan to focus on the marketing aspect of it, and will hopefully get an internship working with professional teams such as the NHL and NFL.” She plans to achieve all the necessary degrees in order to eventually have a job working with a sports team. Kaitlyn is also currently a member of the Hauppauge Varsity Kickline. To continue her love of dance, she plans to either join a competitive team or a club team for fun.
Education
My plans for the future are to attend college and major in secondary education. I hope to also get a degree in mathematics and become a high school teacher. Since I was a little girl, I have always loved helping others and found myself being able to sympathize with others. I believe these are important skills to have to be successful in the education field. I hope to stay close to home for college and find opportunities to volunteer with children. This will allow me to gain a better understanding of working with students and get hands-on experience early on. I also plan to continue playing tennis and possibly coach younger students as well.

She says “Some schools that I am interested in are Cortland, Oneonta, and Oswego”. She is excited to start her college career and cannot wait to join many clubs. Sofia also plans to continue her tennis career by joining a club team.
