part-time job (found on my own) was
terrifying but also enjoyable because I
learned I could do it.
I want to be sure of working and not
having to rely on luck.
I dont like the idea of not having a

The young people I interviewed
were very confident and
articulate.
They had held very responsible
volunteer jobs as well as more
routine jobs.
They had sought responsibility
through volunteering and part-
time jobs for a number of their
high school years.
They were both taking a very
advanced Speaker Training
attended mostly by adults.
I was surprised by the level of
maturity and confidence even
in the face of uncertainty
portrayed by these students!
