When I grow up I want to be an Animal Cop because I love animals and I love taking care of them.The Career Launch was a great experience because I learned how to write a resume and cover letter.Also I learned what do to when you get interviewed like what to say,wear,and what not to do.This program also helped me get a job at the Boy's and Girl's Club and it is an awesome experience.

I used to always want to be a professional skateboarder. I've been skating for a year and a half, and I've loved it from the very moment I stood on a board for the first time. By the end of the school year of 2010, I was finally sponsored. It was just a little local tattoo shop. They agreed to help us with board/t-shirt designs, and help buy us the gear we needed to skate. All we had to do was send them skate videos so they could feature them in a new board shop that they were opening. It was really awesome to roll around with them, they'd drive us to all kinds of street spots to skate at. Unfortunately, we lost contact with them after they changed locations. One of the members of my skate team couldn't keep up with them, and it started to cause drama. The team became dysfunctional, so we all left... After then I decided to take skateboarding in a more recreational manner.

I had been mowing lawns for about 5 years when my mom informed me of this "HIRED!" program. We looked into it and to me it sounded like a great idea, getting money AND gaining experience for any jobs I wish to have in the near future. I am really glad that I had found this in time too, if not, I would have still been just mowing lawns. This is a great experience and program for young teens as myself, I have told many of my friends about this and hopefully they try this program to.
