Question: W: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right? M: Yes, but it seems that we've got some problems with the BBS. The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task. W: Well, didn't you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning? M: Not really. She was recommended by Sampson and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I'm not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design. W: Did you ask her why she wasn't frank with you in the beginning if she couldn't do the BBS? M: I did. But she said it was a communication problem. W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done? M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn't honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job. W: I agree. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: Vet: I eat a cucumber and go to bed. I figure it's a healthy alternative to chocolate. Crystal: Do you ever feel that having a baby has stopped you from your goals or dreams? Vet: I always wanted to be a cheerleader, and that won't happen, I also miss out on a lot of freedom. No one makes me come home on time, and I probably wouldn't normally, but I now have a responsibility to my baby. Crystal: What is your favorite part of having a daughter? Vet: It is so hard to narrow it down to one thing. I love the way she looks at me and admires me. She lets me feel so much love. She is innocent and pure. The best part of being with her is watching her go through every stage knowing there is somebody who loves her. Crystal: What are your plans for the future? Vet: I am going to be a lawyer. Down the road, I hope to move out of Utah. Crystal: What are some of your future goals and dreams? Vet: I want to start small. First and foremost, I am looking forward to graduating from high school. I eventually want to get married. Having a father figure in my baby's life is important to me because I missed out on that. I want to start modeling again, and I hope to keep up with my dancing and singing. It is also important to keep family traditions for me and my baby. Crystal: What is your favorite quote? Vet: "What happens in the dark will come out in the light." There is nothing that you can try to hide without it coming out sometime. It is important not to hide anything from yourself or anybody else. Crystal: What advice would you give teens? Vet: Take things slow, and be a kid as long as you possibly can. Don't expect everything to be perfect, and make decisions for yourself. Live life to the fullest. Love yourself first, and everything else will fall into place.
