( jon sure hopes so. he knows that he believes in himself enough, knows he can do good things because those're what he wants to do. he's saved people, helped others. he's gifted, but he doesn't ever intend to use those gifts to do bad things, not like. . some people expect of him. going down the wrong path would mean a lot more than just going to jail, or making a few bad life choices, or getting scolded.
for jon, messing up and deciding to go down the wrong path could mean destroying the entire earth. even if jon doesn't believe himself to be capable of being that wrong--he knows it's what people back home are afraid of. his father was the exception to the rule, wasn't he? same with kara. but jon is just a kid with all too much power stuck into one tiny impressionable body. )
A carpenter? That's cool! ( carpenters are people who make and repair stuff made with wood, right? I took wood shop once. ( it was fun. ) You look like you've gotta pretty strong arm, so I'm sure you'll be great at it!
