Hace unas pocas semanas, David T., otro participante de One Summer Chicago, y me encontré con otros jóvenes en un lugar de trabajo en Englewood. David y yo estamos trabajando en el Hogar de Niños. & Ayuda este verano en el equipo de comunicación como becarios. Los jóvenes estaban ayudando a reconstruir el jardín comunitario al lado de la iglesia en la que se reunieron. David T.. y hablé con algunos jóvenes sobre cuáles son sus metas futuras., Por qué quieren ser recordados y qué los hizo elegir trabajar para One Summer Chicago..
Meet Jabari one of the youth interviewed at the One Summer Chicago work site at 70th and King Drive. Jabari and a few other youth dedicated their summer to improving the community garden in the neighborhood with their mentor, Terry. One Summer Chicago has been a great opportunity for Jabari because not only does it help him stay occupied, but it also helps him learn leadership roles and shows him that he can help out his community in different ways. Jabari’s always wanted to have a positive impact on his neighborhood, but he never knew how until he was introduced to One Summer Chicago by his mother.
Julian is a bright and smart youth who wants to go to Johnson College Prep and participate in sports and other extracurricular activities at the school. En su tiempo libre, he enjoys playing basketball and spending time with his friends and family. Jabari said the person he admires most in the world is his mother because she has been there for him since the day he was born. Even though his father wasn’t a big part of his life he still appreciates the role he played in his life.
Jabari wants to be known for being a good person and always lending a helping hand when people around him need extra support. After he finishes high school, Jabari wants to go to college and study to become a lawyer, which has always been his dream job. He looks forward to finding another part time job like One Summer Chicago once school starts again.
