Your Reaction: Daughter's Reaction:
"Wow - that sounds unique. You'll have to check it out in more detail and let me know. I do appreciate your creative writing ability and know that you love to write. Do you know how much creative writing you would get to do as part of this job? I wonder how many hours per week an International Dental Hygienist works? You've definitely peaked my curiosity about the position. It would be great if you could get the contact information for this woman to ask her question. My guess is those fine folks in the office of Service Learning & Career Development would know how to help you get more information about this type of position." She appreciates you listening to an idea that she wasn't all the serious about but likes that you named one of her strengths. She takes that information into the office of Service Learning & Career Development and determines over some intentional time of career exploration that she is suited to become an English Major with the intent of becoming a copy writer with a creative communications agency that works nationally and internationally. She is able to visit exotic pets as part of the story she is doing for National Geographic during her one week trip to Africa.
