The First Day Of High School - 1187 Words

The first day of high school I set a bunch of goals. The most ridiculous one was to go through high school without having to get an actual job. I had helped the mayor of Gary, Indiana place signs near abandoned buildings before, and I enjoyed it. The pay was forty to fifty dollars a day, but it was only temporary. The summer before my senior year I began helping out with putting signs down, encouraging people to vote for this particular person running. My craving for money had only one solution, to get an actual job. Shocking, I know, to find a high school student who was not forced at all into getting a job, but chose too. Like most self-conscious teenage boys I did not want to get rejected, in this case not hired, so I went to the one place I knew I would get hired, my grandfather’s farm. That weekend I started my first job. It was not the most glamorous job, but I eventually fell in love with it. Feeding pigs slop, milking cows, rounding up chicken eggs, and growing corn ar e some of the things I managed to do on a daily basis. Waking up around the crack of dawn, being around smelly swine, stubborn cows, I never dreamed of doing this as a side job to make money, but for me it has become the one place I felt needed. Most people, including myself, would assume that farming would not be too hard of a task, especially if you are just temporary help. Within a week, I discovered how wrong I was. Farming takes actual skill.
