 I need some bucks A source of income is a neccesity I found that a part-time job was almost essential to my life. There were an unlimited number of expenses that I, as a high school student, had to take care of. It would have been virtually impossible not to have some sort of income. Whether it was working for a local business or just finding odd jobs, having money in my pocket was a neccesity. As a senior, some of the extra expenses I had were for graduation announcements, senior pictures, cap and gown, and for an open house. Prom. Homecoming, gas for my car, weekends and dates with my girl friend also requried money. My parents tried to help me out as much as possible, but there was no way they could completely support my financial needs. I started my first steady job the summer before my sopho- A fresh pot of coffee is needed at Burger King so senior Pom Hal gets right on the job Fast food restaurants employed a large number of AHS students throughout the year. more year. I worked for a company which owned and rented out many apartment houses. 1 mowed lawns, painted the inside and outside of some of the houses, and did other maintenance work. My next steady job started just before my junior year. I worked at the Cinema Center. My main goal in working was to support some of my own expenses and to save enough money to buy a computer. I also worked many other odd jobs along the way. My parents took out a loan for me to get the computer I wanted, and I made the monthly payments. I also paid for my own car insurance. Further, college was just around the comer for me. and my parents needed any help they could get from me to pay for my college education. Even though it was extremely hard to work while going to school and keeping up my grades, I had to make the sacrifice of assuming some financial responsibility for myself.
