Six Hour Days Will Not Cut It

1 When I was fifteen years old, I began working at a concession stand pulling 7-8 hour shifts. Some days it'd be a split shift. I wouldn't get home until about 10 O'clock most nights. Having to close and clean up by myself made every task a bit harder, but I made it out every night. This shows that even as a young teenager you will have to do things for longer periods of time. Saving money for a car was a hassle, but sooner or later time will sweep by and you will be done. Working six hours a day wouldn't cut it.

2 I try and work 40+ hours a week, making $8.50 an hour. This will give me just enough to pay my phone bill, car insurance, and a little bit of money in my pocket. If I were to be working less

    In the article, “Teenagers’ Work Can Have Downsides” written by Jerald G. Bachman, he writes about whether if teenager should work during their school years.

I start to put my make up on, starting with the foundation, blush, highlighter, and then my eyes.…

    My parents used to always say, “Time flies; tens years feels like ten seconds.” I always dismissed these because school as a third-grader always seemed too long. Looking back, I see that my parents were right and that I am only two years away from being an adult. I can remember every first day of school perfectly, and it is so foreign to think that I am almost an upperclassman in high school. Every year, my responsibilities grow and stress is added to my life.…

    Flipping burgers and bagging groceries while in middle or high school may not, at the time, seem like jobs that will lead to the brightest of opportunities and future. However, it is the lessons learned and experiences gained during these trivial jobs during adolescence that can help pave a path to a bright future with many opportunities in different situations such as schooling and higher employment (Mckechine, 2013). There has recently been much debate as to whether or not teenage jobs are truly valuable to teenagers as well as how a job may benefit a teenager in the future. Holding down a job and attending high school can be a challenge for some. Due to this, teens should be encouraged to seek employment during the summer months so they can learn valuable lessons and begin thinking about their future.…

A society made up of strong and accomplished individuals is a much better society than one made up of people who are not willing to take action to better themselves. As individual members of society, it is my opinion that we all have the duty to flourish and to take pride in everything that we do.…
