Summer Job

This summer, I was employed by Friendship Ventures, which is an organization that works with people with disabilities.  I assisted over a hundred campers in personal cares and it was the most amazing job that I have ever had.  It is funny that I say that because this summer's job was the very first job that I have ever had.

So, I would like to comment on teenage students working jobs.  I understand that it is a good idea, however, I took the time that I would have been working to work on schoolwork.  I think that students are in school to be in school, so they should focus on schoolwork and learning.  However, I think that a really good teacher can work with the student to ensure that they are learning things from that job.  For instance, ask the student to come up with all of the different possibilities of things that you can buy when you at McDonalds and figure out if there is a quick way.

By doing this, we can maintain our both/and philosophy of education which is what this generation of students needs.  I will be on here more again this semester.  This summer I was busy changing lots of briefs and helping campers have lots of fun.
