@DwightEisenhower,
Disagree. If you listen and speak thoughtfully and convey respect and confidence, people will give you interesting things to do. You have to make it clear through attitude and body language that you will get it done whatever it takes. Like asking every day at the end of the day if there’s anything you can do for tomorrow, and never asking whether something can wait until tomorrow, unless it is physically impossible to do it today, say by midnight. We’ve given summer HS students a lot of responsibility before, or limited responsibility, depending. I’ve actually never seen a case of a student who wants to contribute but gets turned away.
