The Job

            Having work since junior year in high school has shown me a lot. How to be responsible and have an income to support myself in one way or another, I was very lucky to get a job with the City of Santa Rosa in the Aquatics department. I enjoy every aspect of my work specially all of the new people that I got to meet. My boss is Australian; his accent is very funny to hear I enjoy having him as a boss and giving me the opportunity to be part of this large network of people. In addition, work and money are hand in hand it takes a lot of dedication and appreciation; I've been working in the aquatics department for roughly under two years.

            Work has its ups and downs, it really takes up a lot of your time for example during high school I would get out of school at 3 pm and not get home till around 9 pm. This was very hard for me and my social life well the little social life that I had. Many of my friends were very understanding that I had a job some a little upset due to not being around a whole lot. Having work is interesting to me the feeling of maturity and not depending on my parents money helping out in the house really gave me a good feeling inside. The job can change your life completely it’s your choice to adapt and make the best of it to not affect the people around you.
