 T) Part of growing up I ulling up to the drive through at McDonald's, a voice usually do better in school when I’m really busy.” came over the speaker. Thank you for stopping at Dover McDonald's. May I take your order, please?” The voice was that of Senior Steve Polce, a two year employee at the large fast food franchise. Polce was just one of countless teenagers who maintained a job while attending high school. Many benefits as well as setbacks arose by holding a job while going to school. One problem with this arrangement was budgeting time wisely. Polce said, It's really hard. I'm always on the run. Holding a job may have also directly affected school performance if the proper time management was not used. For Senior Elda Jean-Charles, employed at Hennis Nursing Home, this posed little problem. “I I've bad to sacrifice a lot of my free time that I could've spent with my friends. ft But, for Junior Jessi Dick, employed at Buehler’s in New Philadelphia, it was exactly the opposite. She said, “I have less time and energy to put into my school work. Responsibility was one good trait acquired by working, according to Dick but, “I've had to sacrifice a lot of my free time that I could've spent with my friends. Family life was yet another area directly affected by working. More time at work obviously meant less time at home. Certain parent-given privileges seemed to also go along with a job. “I seem to have more freedom, commented Senior Rhonda Peterman, who worked for Burger King on the Boule- vard. Junior Yvonne Meese. employed at Friendly's Restau-rant, agreed: My parents have started to trust me more. A job could hold many advantages, but was it right for everybody? Meese had no regrets. Working makes you feel good about yourself and others. I highly recommend getting a job while in high school.” Jessi Dick had differing thoughts. I like to work, but I've realized that it's something I will have to do for a long time, and it's better to enjoy high school while you can.” No matter what the feeling or opinion, the opportunity for getting a job was always there and waiting ... a part of growing up.
