Teen Profiles

Hi my names Lexi Tate. I haven’t been with teems of tomorrow for more then a year but while I’ve been here I’ve gained a new family and new opportunities. I’m learning new things everyday, how to talk to people and how to start a business. What I wanna do when I’m older is have a home for stray animals where they have all the warmth and food and toys any animal could ask for. I also wanna do hair but I really wanna have a home for animals.

Hey my name is Jaytwon Williams.  I have been with Teens of Tomorrow for 2 years now.  Someday I want to be a lawyer and later a judge.  Teens of Tomorrow helped me find out what I really want to be in my life.  My big brother use to do this when he was younger and I remember when I said to him I want to do the same job as you and now I’m able to.  This job is not just about selling candy, it’s about meeting new people and having fun.  I think I’m going to do this job until I’m 18.  Thank you for reading my message.

Hi, my name is Eli and I have been with teens of tomorrow for almost a year now, and I really appreciate what this job has done for me and my family.  I always hated the stereotypes about black people and how they will just stay in drugs, gangs, and violence but now I have learned that I can make it out of the hood and be successful!  When I go out to these big houses, I know that these people were determined to work and strive.  That is something I have always admired.  Every once in a while, I see some black people in these nice neighborhoods and that motivates me knowing its possible to achieve.  Reaching the heights they have reached inspires me.  I have always loved houses and it is an addiction! Which is why my career choice is real estate.  This job helps with that because it has something to do with sales and salesmanship.  I am turning into a good salesman and because real estate is all about connection, this job is really good because I get to meet people.  I have met 3 realtors so far, all black and living in luxurious homes. I want to be like them one day.  That is my life goal, to be a successful realtor and have a family that is financially free.

Well, I’m Eli and thank you for listening to me.

Have a good day!

My name is Jayvion.  Working with TOT has helped me with job skills such as persuasion, public speaking, communication, patience, work ethic, and I hope to continue to work with Stretch for a long time so I can improve on those things, and my sales of course.  I remember starting work at Teens of Tomorrow mid-October in 2022.   One weekday a man bought 10 items from me.  That really made me think that to make money, all I’ve got to do is sell that candy in my box.  TOT has helped me a lot, whether that be skills, money, activities, and more.  I’ve made money, and I’ve enjoyed myself- not to mention the people I’ve met on routes.  One important thing I have learned working here is never give up.  Of course, you will have your offs days.  I remember one time we went snowboarding.  I didn’t know how but I learned, and it became fun.  If you look on the front page, that is a picture of me when we went snowboarding.

My goals here at Teens of Tomorrow is to learn things like money management, business skills, salesman skills, marketing strategies, and job skills in general.

Thank you

My name is Johnny and I have been with Teens of Tomorrow for 6 years.  My goal is to become a real estate agent and Teens of Tomorrow has offered to pay for my schooling through the donations I raise.  I am asking for your support in my cause in raising enough donations to pay my tuition.  Teens of Tomorrow will be posting updates about my education on Facebook if you would like to follow my journey.
