Hi Amina. My name is Liz and I work in Los Altos, California. It is great that you are getting close to being done with high school and that you want to help people as a social worker. Do you think you want to work with families? I used to be a school teacher and I taught children between 6 and 12 years old. In a way being a teacher may be a little like being a social worked because it's about reaching out to people. I miss being a teacher and I think it's wonderful you want to be a social worker. I hope school is going well for you.

Hi Anna. I like school. I live in Mafinga.
