I was at the book store and found a great new book to read on the advantages of working with youth in the community. 
Speaker 2
Oh wow that sounds awesome, what are some of the tips they give?
Speaker 1
I haven't started it yet, so I am not sure, but I will fill you in once I read it! How was your day today, what exactly do you do as a healer?
Speaker 2
Basically it is a therapy type thing. I listen to people vent about their problems and give them advice that helps them clear their mind.
Speaker 1
That sounds interesting. Where did you go to do your training to become a healer? 
Speaker 2
I got my degree in mindfulness at the local community college, I then trained under a healer at a local therapy location
Speaker 1
Oh that's great! What do you like to do when you are not healing people?
Speaker 2
I really enjoy reading, a big fan of biography books
Speaker 1
I love to read too, but I am more interested in fiction. What is the best biography you have read?
Speaker 2
The best auto-biography I ever read was about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. Super inspiring. What is your favorite fiction book?
Speaker 1
I bet that book was extremely inspiring! I love murder mysteries right now, but my all time favorite book would have to be To Kill a Mockingbird.
Speaker 2
To Kill a Mockingbird is an absolutely legendary book, something everyone needs to read.

Speaker 2
It was not difficult. I learned some of it from a local healer so it was easy for me in school.
Speaker 1
Wow thats awesome. What was it working under a healer ?
Speaker 2
It was a great experience working under a healer. He thought me the nuisances of healing.that you cannot learn from books
Speaker 1
Its always good to have first hand experience. I have just finished reading a new mystery book.
Speaker 2
oh really, what book was that?
Speaker 1
gone girl there was a movie based on it, eating icecream while reading a book is such a comfortable feeling. Try reading it if you have free time
Speaker 2
The name "gone girl" is familiar. I am going to look it up after work.
Speaker 1
Yes it was a best selling book at one point. You said your favorite book is biography of Martin luther king why?

Speaker 1
Yes he was such an inspiration to the black community wish we have such a leader today

Speaker 1
I just started reading another murder mystery, The Last Goodbye. I can't put it down.
Speaker 2
What's it about? I've started the new Michelle Obama autobiography a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1
Well I don't want to spoil too much of its content since it's a murder mystery, but basically a woman who can talk to spirits connect people with their deceased loved ones. And how was your reading of Michelle Obama's autobiography?
Speaker 2
I've never been really involved in politics, so it was interesting to read about the initiatives she's started during her time as first lady. Your book sounds very interesting, has a mix of paranormal storytelling in there too.
Speaker 1
Yeah I definitely recommend you to read it if you get a chance! Speaking of which do you have any other book recommendations?
Speaker 2
Hmm.... let me think about it.... Is there a certain topic you enjoy and want to learn more about, like crime, science, etc? It'll give me an idea of what book to recommend.
Speaker 1
I usually prefer murder mysteries but I do want to expand my genera, I think some non fiction books like with science or food might be interesting.
Speaker 2
You know what? I bet you'd love Mindhunter. Have you heard of it? They even made it into a Netflix show. It's about these two FBI agents that start the department for serial killers, and the stories of their interviews with famous ones.
Speaker 1
Oh I never did, the premise sounds interesting so I might take a look! Do you think the book is better or the show is better?
Speaker 2
The show does a great job of making the stories feel real, but I always think the books are better. There's just so many details that get cut out that make it a more enjoyable read.
Speaker 1
I guess that's the case with basically all the adoptions I can think of haha, the book will always have more details. Oh also I'm thinking of joining a book club lately!
Speaker 2
Does it meet online, or in person? I think the in-person ones sound really interesting, I just can never find the time with my job. I'm usually busy from early morning all the way into the evening.

Speaker 1
So do you plan to improve your professional skills in the near future?
Speaker 2
My current job makes it hard to find the time honestly. What about you?
Speaker 1
It's pretty time consuming but very rewarding. I have to do work even after work is over you know? Underprivileged youth will always need guidance. There are times they just need someone to listen. I stay very busy but am always trying my best to improve at what I do. 
Speaker 2
Yes and improvement tends to come with experience for sure. That's a lot like my job -- I can't really control when people need help, so I don't have any kind of set schedule I can adhere to which would make any kind of formal training difficult. 
Speaker 1
You are doing great things you know. You make a real difference as well in people's lives. I sure do hope you can find some time to read a book though. I read sometimes during break when I am able to.
Speaker 2
You are too! Working for the betterment of youth is one of the best things someone can do in my opinion. Those formative years are so important. 
Speaker 1
Right? They each need something different. I was helping a young man who's struggling to juggle his sports, work, and school. He wants to make a real difference you know? It's just so much for a teenager to take on and he's trying his hardest.
Speaker 2
Yes, I can imagine. It seems hard for adults to balance life sometimes; it only makes sense younger people would feel lost. It's wonderful you help them find their way.
Speaker 1
Thank you! By the way, I was wondering if I could possibly join your book club? Are they taking in new members?
Speaker 2
Yes, almost always! I'd love for you to join. All you need to do is a bring a snack on a rotational basis and get/read the book! :)
Speaker 1
Oh snacks and books sounds awesome. What kind of snacks do you all go for? Something healthy like fruit and the like? Or do you guys get soda and snacks? I want to make a good first impression!
Speaker 2
It's completely up to the person who's bringing the snacks! We're not picky. Some people order a pizza, some people bring a veggie tray, and everything in between.
