Great morning!

Went to the Anoka County Job Training Center to sign up for a summer job. The place was out at Spring Lake Park High School, where my Mom drove me. We took off a little late. We left at 8AM and arrived around twenty after. We discovered I forgot my social security card and Mom went back home to get it. She returned by 9AM and then I went in line to register. At least I wasn’t too late. After I filled out the required forms, I went into a room with some other kids and a counselor. In there, we filled out a couple info sheets and were each handed a couple pamphlets informing us about the interviews and job requirements.

After we were done in the room, we went into the cafetorium with the colored card that has been given to us and looked at all the jobs there were posted on the wall. I chose to be a custodial aide at Hoover School as my first choice and recreational aide for my second. Recreational aide is where I work with other kids, and if I get this job, this could be a positive experience for my relationship with smaller kids and could help nurture how I handle kids. This could be of help in the future for when I raise kids of my own. I picked the custodial job because I’m good at cleaning and this job is thought of dirty man’s work. Something nice about this job is when go to work everyday, I don’t have to worry about dressing up spiffy when I come. I could come dressed like a bum if I wanted to, ‘cause I know I’ll get dirty on the job anyway.

After I got all signed up, I stood around for a while and then I headed for the car. When Mom saw me coming out, she started the car and we left. She had to wait for quite a while.
