What you can do if you want to be like Dina:
-
Get involved: Research volunteer opportunities that interest you and participate however you can.
-
Explore careers: Talk to a guidance counselor or adviser about what you’re good at and what you’re interested in doing when you’ve graduated. Or find someone who does a job you’d be interested doing and contact them to see if they’d be willing to meet and talk about their experiences.
-
Observe the world around you: Start noticing the trees and plants you see every day near your house, around your school, or on your way to a friend’s house. Do they look well cared for? What can you do to help?
