PEABODY - Most high school kids who've just turned 18 view their summer job as a way to earn some extra money to spend on themselves. Others waste a lot of their summer playing video games. But 18-year-old Kevin Winschel had a different plan.

"I wanted to do something important," says the West Peabody teenager. "I didn't want to play video games all day. I wanted to make an impact in the community."
