3. Sarah Kassien To leave school because I didn’t know what life would look like. People helping me wouldn’t see a capable person. People would not take the time to listen to me and my dreams. Now I… Work part time at a job I enjoy. Hang out with friends after work. Have a cell phone. Spend my paycheck on the things I want and need. Have a plan to work in my own restaurant in the future. Have a life! I remember when I was afraid…
