Discover your life’s purpose

Did you know what you wanted to become when you were 11?
Erik Dommers does. He wants to be a paleontologist.
In case you don’t know, paleontologists study prehistoric life.
Will Finkelstein does, too. He wants to write comedy for TV.
Just watching people will give him plenty of material.
Jess Catoe, who’s 15, is already a web site designer.
She has created four sites, logos, business cards and brochures.
Her current passion is to fly an F16 jet.
These young people are students at the Barclay School.
Gillian Barclay-Smith, the founder, invited me to speak to them.
They sat on the floor in the Sherlock Holmes Room.
My creaky knees were given the honor of the couch.
We talked about Sherlock Holmes and the man who created him.
We talked about writing, journalism and some of my adventures.
It’s refreshing to see young people who know their purpose.
