Good afternoon,

If I may: what are some activities that those ages 14-18 enjoy engaging in here?
If you're in that age range, or have been in the past, what was a typical day like at home for you at that time?

Are you employed here? If so, what is it you do? Does it align with your skills and interests? Did you have any experience when you began it?

Thank you for any answers you can provide.

There's a club here for people that age. Teenagers With Abilities and Talents.

[ TWAT club, if you will. ]

I have some part-time jobs here. It was the same back home. But if you need a job, Ethlyn at the Willow Clinic always needs help.

[aonibi]

I've heard of that one. I've been told that there are a number of clubs here.

Do you enjoy your jobs here? Do they align with your skills?

[memori3s]

I don't really know how sign-ups work for it. If you just come to one of its future events, that's probably good enough. Sometimes Scott announces them on the network.

I'm okay with my jobs. I don't know if they align with my skills, but it means I learn something new all the time.

[aonibi]

It would be nice to attend one. I'd never met anyone with abilities similar to mine until I arrived here.

[ !!! ] That's a good point. Knowledge and growth are important, after all.

[memori3s]

Yeah. There are lots of people here things like that.

[ Not him though. Obviously. Definitely nothing going on here... ]

People say I should use my time here to try things I didn't get to do before. So that's part of it too, I guess.

[aonibi]

[ no minato's obviously 100% normal. ]

Oh, that's what I've been told, as well. It feels a little overwhelming, though.

[memori3s]

[ Obviously!! ]

It is. But even if it's something small like food you wanted to try, that still counts.

[ Spoken like someone who has snacks on the brain 90% of the time. ]

[aonibi]

Is that what you've been doing? Trying foods?

[memori3s]

Sometimes, yeah. Or if something looks good, I'll try it.

I started a garden too. I've never grown anything before, so I thought I could start there.

I should probably think of other things. You're right though. It's overwhelming sometimes.

[aonibi]

[ a garden... ]

That's right. Things grow well here, don't they? What do you grow in it?

I think that cooking and sewing were also suggested to me. And Toph had a long list of things that she's involved in. I suppose I'll start there.

[memori3s]

Vegetables. I think I'd like to grow flowers sometime though. There's a lot of space at the farmhouse if you want to try too.

Toph usually has good ideas. You might be stuck here awhile so there's a lot of time to try everything.

[aonibi]

[ thinking of rhadore before it sank: ] Flowers would be nice.
I don't know that I would be very good at growing things, though.

[memori3s]

You don't have to be good at it. All that matters is wanting to try.

But if you're really, really bad at it, you can always move on to something else. It's okay.
