My first job is babysitting. I started to babysit my siblings when I was 14 years old. My parents knew I was responsible to babysit so before I turn 15 years old, I can babysit other kids. At 15 started to babysit my neighbors and kid that lived close to me. At 16 my parents made me a Facebook page for my babysitting job. My responsible are taking care of kids, helping them with their homework, only let them watch TV for 1:30, let them play outside, and make food for them if they were hungry. The best part of babysitting is that all kids are different when you first meet them. I had one kid I was babysitting and he never liked me and every time he sees me he told me he didn’t. The last day of me babysitting him was one of the saddest days of my life. …show more content…
Every time I send him something he said where ever I go next time his going to come with me. When I came back home when school was about to start and his parents told me that he is sick in the hospital and that it will be nice to go and see him. I got him a gift when I was in Palestine it was a Car that runs on your own voice and every time you tell it something the car does it for you. The next day I when to the hospital and I surprised him with the gift. I have never seen him smile like that before. The next month I when to the hospital to see him again and his parents told me that he is better and he want me to babysit him again this year. I only babysat him for less than 5 months and I loved like my little brother. In December his parents called me and told me that it was his birthday and that I couldn’t babysit
I got work at the camp post office which handled more than a half million dollars in stamps. It was an 8-5 job and, in between, I did what I could to have fun like go to dances or the movies.
Along with creating steps which will lead me towards my ultimate career goal, the creation of a specific five-year plan for myself was key. In five years I will be in school, hopefully in my final year of my Masters degree; a plan which seems so simple to achieve, however requires an extensive amount of hard work and dedication. Being so far in my academic career already, I will hopefully have worked in summer internships or been employed during the year by a speech-language pathologist or various health institutions to gain experience in the profession and potentially become full time employed by one of these institutions post-graduation. Within the five years, I will have as well established networks and built relationships with multiple
As one young person was heard to remark, “You can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job.” That dilemma can be overcome, however, by starting work early in life and by accepting simpler jobs that have no minimum age limit and do not require experience. Jobs Teens Can Do Begin early at jobs that may not pay especially well but help to establish a working track record: delivering newspapers, babysitting, mowing lawns, assisting with gardening, and the like. Use these work experiences as springboards for such later jobs as sales clerks, gas station attendant, fast-food worker, lifeguard, playground supervisor assistant, and office staff assistant (after you have developed basic office skills). As you progress through these work exploration experiences, try increasingly to get jobs that have some relationship to your career plans.
In order to gain an understanding of independence and responsibility, I have held summer jobs in the preceding three years. I also worked to help myself financially in boarding school, insurance, a car, everyday necessities, and soon in college. My first summer job was at the Moonlite Drive In Theater.
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump. My heart began to race as I climbed in my truck early Monday morning. Anticipation grew inside of me at the thought of starting my new job. Would it be difficult? Would I get frustrated? I kept asking myself these questions, but I didn't want to know the answers. All the confidence that I had built up before that day had diminished and I was left with dread. I tried to reassure myself that it was just a summer job and that I would never have to go through it again, but my anxiety had already overcome me.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you someone else is the greatest accomplishment.” This quote is by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was a man who always put his education as a top priority, so I highly admire him. As I read this quote, I realized that my greatest accomplishment is something that I am constantly progressing and excelling in, my education. There are three reasons that I will explain as to why my education is my greatest accomplishment. First, education has never been a factor in any of my family member’s lives. Secondly, it took a long time for me to get on track with my educational values. Lastly, I will explain how far my education has gotten me.
The first time I started babysitting I was fourteen and I only babysat one kid at a time and I made about fifty dollars each day that i babysat. One day i was babysitting two kids and my sister was there to help me watch them when they asked us if we wanted to play Hide N’ Go Seek in the dark so we said yes then split into two groups one went to hide while the other two went to hide. I have a lot of fun while I’m babysitting we did a lot of fun things like going on picnics, bike rides,and going to parks. One of my favorite things that I did with the kids was baking cupcakes they loved to help mix the ingredients up and put them in their cupcake holders and while we waited for the cupcakes we either played card games or watch t.v until they
Everyone's first job is special in some way or another. For most it aids them in “growing up”. Marking their transition from childhood into adulthood. My first job threw me into the real world, and helped me become the mature, confident person I am today.
This particular day he came home with a great smile, holding a white envelope. Me and other sibling we were just playing outside while mum was preparing supper. He greeted us and he proceeded to the kitchen, this was very awkward because he normally he passes by the Cowshed and spend a few minutes admiring them. I really didn’t think too much about it, we continue playing with my brother. Shortly could
When I was eleven years old, I knew that I could not work because I wasn’t old enough or even qualified to apply for a job. When I had nothing to do, I started hustling to make some money. Hustling at that time, meant that you were doing something positive to make money. I wanted to work because I needed money for things that my family could not afford. Hustling was not only a way to make money, but it also kept me out of trouble. During the summer and even on the weekends I would help out at
Early in December, I concluded the first semester of the school year and was looking forward to the holiday break that lay ahead. Although, with Christmas three and a-half weeks away, I still hadn’t save up the amount of money I planned to spend on gifts for the holidays. Struggling to reach my goal, I began to look for alternatives to a traditional job. In order to earn the money in record time, I mustn’t deter myself from my goal, even if my job options were narrow. With that in mind, I asked my friends and mom if they knew of anybody looking for an occasional babysitter.
It was my job for two summers, and was a great, exciting first job. One of the aspects that was very neat about it was the fact that I started it once school got out for the summer, and then once school started back up at the end of the summer I stopped working so I could put all my focus into school. I was primary weed eater for my first summer, simply because I was the newest guy on the job and also the youngest. I didn’t enjoy this near as much as I did mowing, but it taught me a lot about what hard work. We mowed a really big trailer park every other week, and I was in charge of weedeating the whole thing. I had to weedeat around all the pipes and poles sticking out of the ground, and although there was a bunch of those I didn’t really mind that part of the job much. However, the part of this that I absolutely hated was that I had to weedeat two or three decent size hills that were too steep to get a mower on. The worst part of this was that it was a job that couldn’t be done in the morning because the steep hills would be too slippery from the dew, so usually I would have to wait until the extreme heat of midday. This was one of the hardest things I had ever done before, and I truly hated it. However, because it was one of the hardest things I have ever done, it taught me what hard work really was. It taught me how to work hard, and showed me the rewards of my hard work through my paycheck
I started work when I was fifteen, spending my summers away at Camp Valleyway. The camp was nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians, cupped in a valley between two mountains with a natural lake at the center, its waters stained murky with southern clay. I worked as a swim instructor, and each week a new set of campers traveled from across the state to experience the outdoors.
I jumped when Mom woke me up at 5:15 in the morning. Dad was already on his way because their supervisor increased the quota for the coalmine, so he figured he should start the day early. At the factory, we do not get a break for breakfast, so Mom and I quickly shared a bowl of grits and a warm cup of tea, dressed as warmly as we could, and set out for our mile and a half walk to work in the snow. We arrived at the factory ten minutes before our shift. Punctuality is essential, or else the doors lock and the owner will not pay you for that day. If you are repeatedly tardy, you might as well lose all hope because they fire late employees.
I was only seventeen when I started working. I live in a very small city that is downtown full of different stores. During the summer times, most of the stores downtown would post job listings looking for young individuals who wanted to work during the summer season. I decided that I wanted to gain some work experience and decided to apply to one of the stores. The store I worked in was called Kid City.
