First assignment

• working throughout high school - Working at a couple different places gave me a sense of independence.  Working and going to school did two things for myself.  It allowed me to earn my own money and therefore be able to spend it on whatever i wanted. Juggling both also made me aware of time management and not to waste my own time.  This is significant because it forced me to grow out of my immaturity somewhat and become an adult.  There were people that I met while working that I would not have been introduced to if I hadn't decided to work.  The money that I made was, for the most part, saved to use later on in life.  Now that I am a freshman in college i have a job on campus.  I would probably not have been self-reliant enough to pursue getting a job if i hadn't had one previous to now.  My earnings from years before  are now allowing me to buy my books, supplies, and everyday items, which my parents wouldn't have been able to afford.  One of the jobs that I had was in SC.  This let me go somewhere that I had never been to before.  I experienced alot for the first time because of it, such as; going to an ocean, leaving my parents longer than a couple days, and again being more independent.  My sophomore year, my friend and I created our own business of lawn mowing.  My friends dad knew quite a bit of high up people in our community, therefore we were quite successful. Meeting of new people and earning a lot of money were the benefits of that job.
