Recommended: The importance of extracurricular activities for teens

My first job as a Tutor It was hard to say goodbye and farewell to those memories and precious friends. It was the last day in my high school. My classmates including me were emotional as we did not know whether we might meet each other again after that day. We had to choose our own destination and apply to colleges. Some of the girls cried, hugged each other and took some pictures. Our class had a group chat on Viber. One of my classmate girl named Prasna said to everyone, “this group chat has to be forever”. She probably said this because she never wanted to forget all of us and to stay connected. Viber is where we chat, make fun of each other and discuss about assignments. At one moment, I felt like I don’t want to grow up that early and wanted to stay more years with these classmates. …show more content…

We used to play soccer every weekends. Likewise, when there was a champions league match on TV, we watched and woke up till 3am. Soccer is one of the most popular sport in Nepal these days. There are few fields available to play but they are all not in proper condition. Most of the time, we used to play indoor soccer and had to pay some amount for that. So, every time we went to play, there was cash outflow from our pockets. Most of the time, we used to hang out and go to different places that money was flowing so fast without realization. At that moment, I felt guilty as I was spending too much of my parent’s money. So, money became an issue for me. I realized that I needed a job so that I don’t have to ask my parents for money. I tried to find jobs in newspapers but nothing was interesting for me. These jobs required a person with some job experiences and bachelor diplomas which I did not have. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment is defined as people who do not have a job, have actively looked-for work in past weeks, and currently available for work. In short, I was

    At the tender age of seven years old, my Grandmother taught me how to play blackjack. My Grandma on my Dads side would teach me how to bet and maximize my earnings. I remember how my Aunts and Uncles would tell each other and my Grandma that it was not a good idea to show me how to gamble. Every time we would visit my Grandparents I would always bring my money.

  • Essay About Moving Away From High School

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    I was hired quickly and kept my first job for a year. During that year, I worked quite often, which had affected my school work. I didn’t make time to study and went to bed late most nights. As much as I wanted to quit, I kept working. I wanted to quit, because I feared I couldn’t keep up with school anymore. It terrified me that I would fall so behind, and never get anywhere in life. I kept faith, and I worked hard to get where I am today. I never gave up. I did not like asking for money at home, because I knew everyone was already struggling. I felt like I needed my job, so that I could make money to pay for things myself. Without work, I wouldn’t have any lunch money for school. My grandparents helped as much as they could. It's not their job though, I felt that it wasn’t fair they had to keep spending their money on me. Working has taught me great skills. I was shy before my first job.

    “I want a car!” says every soon to be sixteen-year-old. Nearing the age of sixteen my time came, I asked the coveted question. “Dad can I have a car?”. As the anticipation climaxed my father uttered a calm and reassuring “No.”. The answer “No” did not cross my mind as a potential outcome. What was I to do in the midst of this rejection? I could pout and not get anywhere towards my goal, or I could suck it up, get a job, and buy my own car. The very next week I had a job and was ferociously pursuing my goal. My father had no intention on stopping me but he did warn me that if I were to reach my goal, I should possibly consider applying for a second job.

    According to Livermore (2008), people who are actively looking for work but are not currently in a contractual arrangement are considered unemployed. Since the recession in 2007, unemployment has been an ongoing problem in America. Many companies were laying off thousands of employees because they could not pay them. As of September 2011, the South and the West has the highest concentration of unemployment. Nevada has the highest jobless rate, 13.4%, followed by California with 12.1% (Cooper, 2011). The collapse of the housing bubble left Nevada with high rates of unemployment. South Carolina’s unemployment rate is 11.1% and is the fourth highest in the nation (Cooper, 2011). Most people had a hard time finding work because they were not familiar with filling out applications online; especially if they had been working for 30 years at the same company (Alpert, 2011). The labor market is governed by the laws of supply and demand. There are policies that address labor supply and labor demand.

    At age 11 there really wasn’t much I could do to make money, so I did whatever it took, well almost, I tried staying away from housework. I remember washing my mother’s car for a couple of dollars but that was not enough for me to pay my way into Star Skate on a Friday night. I had to make “ends meet” as I saw it, so I decided to ask Becky for a job in her childcare center; at the time I was not really a kid-person, as a matter of fact I get annoyed by crying babies and winning toddlers but I thought it was worth a shot. I started working with Becky around 4:20 PM on Fridays, I would make sure all of the toys were picked up and in the mini plastic pool where I would sterilize them. I would scrub them with bleach and soap until my eyes started watering and...

    665 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most common causes of unemployment are getting fired and layed off for specific reasons. People might get layed off if a company is going out of business or maybe if there are positions in the company that are no longer needed. It’s difficult to find a job right away after being fired. Companies don’t want to hire someone who has just been fired for reasons such as failure to do a sufficient job, not showing up to work, stealing, etc. It’s also hard to find a job instantly after being layed off. In some cases the economy is down and it is hard to find any work in general.
