    I love this piece for a young actor! It shows a confident student who can see a clear future for themself and doesn't need to fit into the neat little boxes schools expect you to fit into. Very inspirational and funny at the same time! A great piece to show a strong character for a young performer.

    A great testimony on the fact that there isn't only one path for children as there are a lot of jobs we overlook which provide good livings. Well done.

    A fabulous monologue for a feisty young lady. As always, Wyndham isn't just writing monologues to give kids something to do--he's giving them something important to say. He brings up some really good points in this piece about how kids are starting to get wise to the mistakes that their parents have made. I can see this piece being incredibly empowering for a young woman. We need more monologues like this!
