W hen I grow up I want to be a pediatri­
cian doctor because I like kids a lot and
I want to be a doctor but not for grow n­
ups. It would be fun to be a doctor. I
also want to be a teacher because I look
to teach younger kids than me. I want
to be a 2nd grade teacher. I play school
with little kids at home upstairs. A
teacher is also fun to correct work and
to make work. If I was a teacher we
would do a lot o f art every day.
W hat I want to be when 1 grow up is a
fashion designer. I want to be a fashion
designer because I like art and I really
like to draw and design things. I like
clothes and making up fashions. I think
it would be neat to be walking down the
street and see someone wearing what
you designed.

My goal in life is to be a comedy person
because I am a really funny person. I
make my class laugh a lot. I would also
like to be a writer because I have a good
imagination for stories.
W hen I grow up I would like to be a
police officer or a school teacher. I
want to be in sports and be the best. I
want to go to college and make some-
thng out o f my life. When I finish this
and get rich I want to go back to my
family and buy a big house for my
family, that’s if I get some time to
spend with my family.

I haven’t really decided what I w ant to
be when 1 grow up, but I thought about
being a zoo-keeper or something that
has to do with working with animals
(but not a veterinarian). I would like to
work with animals because I like ani­
mals and would like to learn more
about them.
My favorite subject in school is art. I
like art because every assignment is
different. Art is fun. You get to learn
to do neat and interesting things in art.
You could make presents and party
decorations that you learned how to
make in art.
T here’s a lot o f things you can be to
heal things but I chose a veterinarian.
It’s fun seeing an animal all healed up
and happy. Being a veterinarian you
heal animals instead of seeing them
suffer. To be a veterinarian, you proba­
bly need about 4 years o f training. You
need to know what to do in a certain
situation, examine the animal and know
w hat m edicine to give.
My goal in life is to be an psychologist.
I want to be an psychologist because I
like people, and I also enjoy making
other people happy. I love helping
other people with their problems. I
want other people to trust me with then-
problems. Helping others, lets me see
a different outlook on life; it makes me
feel good. So I hope people will know
there is hope in this world today.

When I grow-up I am going to be a
second grade teacher. I w ant to be a
second grade teacher because I love
little children, and I love being in charge,
so I think that being a second grade
teacher would fit me best. I will also
have to give some credit to my second
grade teacher, Mr. Mack. He really
inspired me. It will also be fun for my
class to know that they have a teacher
that really cares about w hat they feel.
W hen I grown up I want to be an author
because I like to create my own stories.
I d o n ’t always like to way the stories I
read end up. One of the reasons I want
to be an author is that I can w rite the
stories and have them end up the way I
w ant them to.

“ I probably w ouldn’t have been
able to go to school without this pro­
gram ,” said the 20-year-old W arren, a
senior at the University o f Oregon in
Eugene majoring in Asian studies and
business.” ‘ ‘This program has made it
easier for me to concentrate on college
because I don’t have to worry about
how I’m going to finance school,” said
Kyle, a 21-year-old business major
studying at Oregon State University in
Corvallis, OR.

students can count on working in at
least two different bank departments,
so that at the end of four years they
have a thorough understanding o f a
variety o f bank functions. Some of the
departments which have benefitted from
the addition of a sum m er student intern
include the Consum er Loan Center,
Private Banking, REIG, Personnel, Sales
Support & Com m unications, Interna­
tional Banking, Special Assets, and
various branch offices.
“ This has definitely given me the
experience to succeed in whatever career
I choose,” Kyle said. “ Having worked
with a lot o f different people, adapting
to new job situations quickly, and get­
ting a better understanding o f how the
bank w orks—it’ll make it easier lor me
to integrate into the workplace once I
do graduate.”

“ The Job Experience Program has
sen a trem endous success,” said Kay

ides an opportunity for students to

Carter said the program was de vel-
ped as one way for the bank to give
jm ething back to the community. The

“ The people here are really terri­

to work in an office environm ent rather
than at a Taco Bell or som e other part

Linfield College freshman participat­
ing in the program for the first time this
year. “ This program gives you good
job experience, plus it helps you to
grow as a person, teaches you how to
work with other people.”
“ Last year I got a lot o f operations
experience, this year I’m getting more

“ This is a great way to get experience

interests are.”
“ It’s given m e insight into what
the banking business is all about,” said
Ishaq Shamsud Din, a junior Film major
studying at the University o f Oregon in
Eugene. “ It’s shown me that banking
isn’t just about being a teller, it’s not
just about checking accounts. It’s m ar­
keting, real estate, loans, credit, serv­
ice quality. T here’s a lot more to it than
you’d expect.”
Carter said the Job Experience
Program has been a hit with the stu­
dents, with area education adm inistra­
tors, and with bank departm ent heads,
who have been thrilled with the quality
and ability the students have brought
with them to the workplace. “ I’m ex­
tremely proud to have taken part in
developing this program ,” Carter said.
“ It’s an educational experience for
everyone involved.”
