a Turning 16; Fun and Responsibility A Her many years of school, teenagers wait lor a special time in ' » their lives — turning SIXTEEN! Along with turning sixteen comes the fun and responsibility of getting a car •jts the best time of your life! You get your driver ' s license and you feel more responsible, says junior Gina Brunner. Getting a car is a big responsibility. It ' s a time when parents trust their sons and daughters enough to set them free with wheels. Another responsibility that comes with turning sixteen is getting a job. Though a job is important, it also gives a means of being in- dependent and furnishes a little leeway from parents. They do not need to depend on their parents for money. The teenagers also use their )0b money towards their college education. Having an after school job also teaches them about the real world. Everything is not going to be handed to them when they have graduated, they have to work for everything they want. Just realizing that you ' re growing up and you have to go out into the real world, turning six- teen is just one the greates times of your life. says, junior Laura Youngblood. Turnming sixteen also makes teenagers start thinking about col- lege and entrance exams They know that they have to do well on these exams to be accepted into colleges. This is also the time when they start thinking about their professions. Being sixteen is special. It ' s a time to be with friends and a time to go out. It, in turn, means that the special memories established at this age will always be remembered and never be forgotten. Kim Hearn finds thai along with the fun of driving, there are responsibilities, such as washing the car. schcol 3C- mtliecfff- hetookpc- Millican, Mimi Milchiner. Bobby Mitchiner.
