1
00:00:00,006 --> 00:00:01,913
Do you want me to speak up? Hello?
2
00:00:01,927 --> 00:00:03,720
I've lost track!
3
00:00:03,967 --> 00:00:06,713
I'm Alaw, I'm 22 years old.
4
00:00:07,093 --> 00:00:10,033
My job title is Youth Support Worker.
5
00:00:10,727 --> 00:00:12,197
No two days are the same.
6
00:00:12,217 --> 00:00:14,317
I like how different every day is.
7
00:00:14,330 --> 00:00:16,163
I never know what's going to come out of their mouths.
8
00:00:18,417 --> 00:00:26,837
Today, we're celebrating the end of a summer project
to plant flowerpots to give local businesses for free.
9
00:00:26,863 --> 00:00:34,003
When I see the young people I work with
having that lightbulb moment, and they smile and they're happy,
10
00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:36,363
that's my favourite thing about this job.
11
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,323
Are you giving thumbs up?
12
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:40,723
I never thought I'd ever work with young people.
13
00:00:40,743 --> 00:00:47,763
I went to Camp America for the summer
and came home realising I wanted to work with young people.
14
00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:53,877
I like that I can bring my personal interests into my work.
15
00:00:53,890 --> 00:00:56,110
Good, you're so clever!
16
00:00:59,477 --> 00:01:06,357
The most challenging thing about this job
is when other people don't think I can do it.
17
00:01:06,903 --> 00:01:10,723
I get asked how old I am all the time,
because I look young too.
18
00:01:10,743 --> 00:01:13,443
It does knock you back a bit, but you think "am I!?"
19
00:01:14,177 --> 00:01:17,397
But if they don't think I can do it, I have to show them that I can.
20
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:18,957
Because I know I can do it.
21
00:01:19,210 --> 00:01:25,083
The feeling you get when you work with an individual,
it's a lot more valuable than money.
22
00:01:25,610 --> 00:01:28,083
You can change someone's life.
23
00:01:29,243 --> 00:01:32,360
