4. Explain the value of the TYKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post-secondary (after high school) plans (education? training? travel? work?).
The experience of TYKTW shows that whoever works at home could sometimes think it can be really hard. I don’t think this job will help me in anyway for my future career, I never thought what my mom does is a real job, but I appreciate the fact that she does many things and sometimes there is a lot of pressure. I would not want to be a home maker but I it sounds interesting that you do something like that.
