Teenage Job

As a teenager you need to realize that its time to start growing up and maturing. That being said you know life is about to hit you pretty hard. You're going to start wanting things, needing gas money, clothes etc. and for that you'll need money. I began to research online ideal jobs for a teenager and I found a website that had many different jobs. Most of the jobs include very well people skills. One job I saw that caught my interest is a cashier at Buffalo Wild Wings. I know that I would be able to handle that because I am very good at working with people. Most of the jobs include being a cashier or cooking or cleaning. Obviously because those are things people should know how to do by the time they are 16. To prepare for an interview I would practice my speaking skills and have to make sure I have enough patience to work in the environment. Taking in a resume will be very ideal. Its not that hard to find a job.

Homeless to Harvard

This movie was very inspirational. I felt like I could connect to Liz in many ways. I went through similar things (without the homelessness but the parent drug addictions) and its very hard to get through stuff like that. Most people result in drugs or can't be strong enough to deal with everything and take their own lives. She had it way worse than I did and she found the strength within herself to become a better person which is the positive way to look at things. My favorite thing about the movie was that she never gave up on loving her mom, Liz always saw the better in her even when she was drugged up. Liz had so much faith that her mother would change and get better but its hard when someone is so caught up in addiction. I always had so much faith that things would go back to the way they were before and it was just something we would deal with for about a month maximum and eventually I gave up. I figured I couldn't help anyone who didn't want to be helped.I know that if I were her I would have been able to resilient because I've dealt with similar things and never let that hold me back from waking up with a smile on my face. It taught me to be a stronger person.
