Student Seeks Travel Buddy
Teens these days are much smarter than we ever were … and Meghri was the perfect example as she talked books, travel and being tri-lingual on Honolulu Avenue.
Why is it that every young woman I meet makes me feel more inadequate than the last? When I was a teenager, I didn’t care about school. All I ever wanted to do was date boys, gossip about boys, think about boys and dream about looking at boys. Ah, well. Some things never change.
But when I met Meghri outside in Montrose, this student clearly knew exactly what she wanted … and didn’t want.
