I really enjoy having a job and having my own money. I have worked mainly only summer jobs up until this year and I have worked the whole year. My very first jobs were babysitting; I was in high school and had families that I would babysit for a lot. This is how I made a little of my own spending money. I would use it to go to dinner with my friends or to the movies. My next job was during the summer and I was employed at the St. Clair County Courthouse. My friend Brendan Kelly is now the State's Attorney, so he got me a job there a couple years ago. It was an awesome experience to be in that setting but my job was extremely boring. Everyone I worked with was a lot older than me and I sat at a desk and entered data in the the computer all day everyday. I worked Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from about 8 am to 4 pm. One day, I got to sit in a courtroom and observe; that was really cool. I'm really happy I got to have this job as an experience because now, I have figured out this is part of what I want to do with my life because I want to go to law school. This was also my first consistent paycheck, which was really exciting. My next summer job I was employed at the YMCA day camp during the summer when I came back from Indiana University. This job was fun and different but it wasn't consistent. There were too many counselors so we only were scheduled for certain weeks, but I really enjoyed the kids and the atmosphere. We were outside all day long and did different activities such as hiking swimming in the lake, sports, and crafts. We also went on field trips to different places such as the zoo and splash city. I got to go on the field trip to splash city and the kids had a blast. Now, I work have been working at Logan's roadhouse since last August with Lexie. I really love my coworkers but my managers aren't the best. This has been my most consistent paycheck. I tend to spend more than I should just because I feel good about having my own money and not having to ask my parents for anything. I am really trying to save up to be able to move out and help my parents put me through school.
