Did you have a Summer job when you were in high school? Perhaps you had a regular job during school? I did the Summer job thing when I turned sixteen and then found a job that would work with my school schedule and my cheer-leading schedule. That job followed me all the way through college and thankfully it did. I had great bosses during my school job, they were hard on me but that taught me a lot about working for someone and dealing with people. I want my kids to learn those same lessons, they cannot learn these things from the hubbs and I tough.
Sprat, has tried to find a conventional Summer job with no luck. Thankfully he has offered himself up to be a handyman for anyone that needs him. He has been doing yard work, mowing grass and spreading mulch, for a couple of ladies in the area and has cleaned out a garage for one lady. Yesterday he came home and said he had used a jackhammer to take down some bathroom tile. The last few weeks he has been helping a gentleman gut a house and he has learned to take down dry wall and now to use a jackhammer. I think that is really cool. I am thankful for people that will take a chance on a young person and let them help out and do things and maybe even teach them a skill. Sprat is learning a lot this Summer.
Stay tuned as we gear up to start another school year, one a sophomore in college 13+ hours away and one a junior in high school.
