Lera: Student, Street Worker

Lera, 15, was standing on Lenin Street in Kursk handing out flyers for an electronics store along with a woman about 4x her age. Lera said she didn’t want to depend on handouts from her parents. I asked what job she would like to have in the future. First she said she wanted to be a banker. When I asked why, she said she really wanted to be a policewoman. She said she loves watching a tv serial called ‘Trail.’
