Today Emani , Bralynnn , Miss shelby , and I took a walk down Genesee , & we went into 12 Bussinesses , and we asked them a few questions / interviwed them . I intoroduced myself very well , and told the bussiness owners who i was & what organization i was from . Today my best expirence was intoducing myself , at first my self and the others in my group were a litle nervous , but we all overcame it . Also i looked everyone in there eyes , and spoke loudly and clearly to everyone .…

Today me and some friends went out to interveiw some bussiness and to see if any owners hire youth. I feel that it went well because i try to ask good questions so they people could answer them. Some bussines hire youth some dont . I was a good day.

We went  interviewing business in the neighborhood of thurston and arnett to see if they hired youth. Most businesses did not want to hire youth because they are not legal to use equipment. It was ok to do something new.

Today me and Dontez walked up W.Main and i never knew Rite Aid Hire At 16yrs old

I introduce my self pretty good i had a good hand shake and good eye contact

Overall people were willing to hire youth

Today we did some role playing to see how well a interveiw would go by going to bussiness to see what they are about. We also made up questtions for bussiness owners, and see if they would hire youth.
