9.8 Volunteering

You go to the Outreach Office. They will get you a paying job or a volunteer job. I like volunteer jobs the best. I learn faster and I find out if my boss is satisfied with my work. If I have to pick up speed, they will tell me and show me what they mean. Then I do it by myself and in no time pick up speed. Also, they will show me the way they want it done.
