Meet a couple of ambitious youngsters we bumped into when we dropped into Page 2 Books in Burien this week.

The charming owner, Gayle Collins introduced me. At left is Lorena Lemurs, 12th grader at Mt Rainier High, who plans on becoming a psychologist. She is 18 and is in the 12th grade.

Beside her is Brittanee Forgie, also from Mt Rainier, who is studying physical therapy. She is 17.They are both enrolled at Puget Sound Skills Center.

They are both interning at Page 2 for 5 hours a week to earn high school credits. Lorena wants to learn about marketing and advertising strategies for small businesses. Brittanee is interested in how to successfully set up and manage a small, independent retail business.
