Chances... Please!

<p>Oh, I thought maybe you just got books and took them to the different areas of the library. lol</p>

<p>Well, we do that too! LOL. But it's a good job, it's just really overwhelming at times. I've actually heard of horror stories of one girl who quit after her first day because she was overwhelmed by books coming down from the conveyor belt and others having mini-nervous breakdowns in the bathroom!</p>

<p>Well, an update (not sure if it makes that much difference): I got a 720 in the U.S. History SAT II. Is this a poor score for Princeton? Should I retake it? I'm also going to take the SAT to see if (maybe) it can make up for the 28.</p>

<p>Breakdowns in the bathroom, dang. I probably couldn't handle such a high stress job...make sure you mention other peoples nervous breakdowns to show what a strong person you are. ;) I would keep the 720, but then, I only have a 660, so don't put a lot of weight on my opinion...</p>

<p>^LOL! Well, I won't be retaking the U.S. History exam, but I will the SATs.</p>

<p>how did you get the chance to join things such as county youth commission and youth women commission? they don't seem to be from a high school...</p>

<p>wow...ur resume's pretty awesome. lol. i'm always scared to look at what ivy league CC'ers have to post on these boards....in a good way!</p>

<p>Trust me, I'm always scared! Well, the youth commission is open to a certain age group and you have to be selected by the county commission to a two year term. It's separate from school, though. Right now I'm in the process of starting a young women's youth commission which, hopefully, will be approved by the city. Love dealing with the beaucracy! ;)</p>

<p>Thanks everyone, your advice has been great!</p>

<p>is it like community service based or something? i always wonder about how some kids start all those stuff? i mean where the hell do you go? who do you contact?</p>

<p>Yes, but it also deals with civic leadership and public service. I also wonder ths same thing sometimes. For example, for the Girls to Women event I'm planning, I searched on Google for organizations in my city catering to women, found one, and set up a meeting with them and explained my idea. They liked it and, little did I know, they have amazing contacts with practically every women's organizations in the local, state, and even national arena.</p>

<p>From there, I met a woman who is in the women's commission of my city, talked with her, and told her about having a sister organization but for young women. She loved it and was even thinking of doing the same thing. Now we will be working together. </p>

<p>You just have to find somebody who has a career dealing with what your interests are and contacting them. Some contacts won't even bother to reply back, I've had those. You just have to keep going and keep contacting people.</p>
