Yes thats right, I'm no longer in need of money, for everyday things, from my parents anymore! Want to know why? Well I'll tell you! I landed a Sales Associate job at BESTBUY. And I'm already loving it. The perks and bonuses are awesome, the community is awesome, my bosses are awesome, pretty much this is the place to work, especially in my case. I make pretty good money for my first official job and I'm passionate about what I sell!
My official job title is "Portable Electionics Sales Associate", the portable electronics department consists of tablets, mp3's, games, and any handheld assesories or devices you can think of, and I'll be selling them! So, drop in at the Avon location and say hi, maybe I can sell you something you find interesting.
Even though most people say how much they hate work, hard work is in my blood and I just love to work. Especially though since gaming and portable devices are things I am very passionate about, I'll be selling things I love to people, so it'll make my job that much easier... Even though I will have to undergo extensive salesperson training and go through all of their training for the first few weeks, I am excited to learn about how to close sales and to get paid for all the good, hard work I do, and for treating customers right.
And I am exstatic! This summer is going to be awesome for multiple reasons. I don't know where to start.... First and foremost, this summer will be great becasue I'll have a large chunk of my free time devoted tomy relationship I am currently in, which is my main focus and what I'm mainly looking forward to. Second, I can stay up as late as I want without fear of getting up late or being tired the next morning. Third, I'll be able to chill out with my friends and family wherever I want, and maybe take a few small vacation while I'm at it. But since this happens to be my last year of taking classes on the high school campus, my summer will also be alot of prepartion for my first semester of college. Which is very exciting. I also just landed a sales associate job, so I'll be having fun making money.
If you are in my journalism class, you probably already know who I am dating, since someone happend to blurt that out in class. No big deal at all though, if you know her, and you know me we are awesomely, perfect together. And, this will be our first of many summers together so, I really cannot wait.
Staying up late is like THE thing to do in the summer, guys play video games, or have get togethers, or even stay out late some where around town, girls will have their slumber parties and what not, who knows. But, I know I'll be doing my fair share of this since I don't have to get up as early anymore.
All in all, I can't wait for summer, and I can't wait to go off to college and to prepare for college, because honestly I know I am ready for the expierence, for the higher learning level and I know I am sick of the high school atmosphere. And, I can't wait to actually work for my money, and be able to support myself and be responsible, most may say they are ready, but be scared and may get lost, but I am honestly ready for this big change and move in my life!
It is quite compelling when you wake up for school, being more or less refreshed from a good nights sleep; come downstairs eat a decent breakfast, to prepare yourself for yet anyother day at the school you think you hate so much. When your own mother asks you "how do you write a blog?" or "can you help me write a blog?"
Now I know my mom thinks I'm some sort of genius when it comes to writing. And most people will tell you that right now I'm being modest. Anyways, I responded with a simple answer "its easy, write about whatever you want, but don't lose your train of thought and try to stay on topic for the most part." She gave me that weird look when shes surprised as usual and said "thats it?" Yes that is it, if you are following my blog take that very simple and obvious advice and you will do just fine.
Back to my mom, she told me this morning that she recently started blogging for The Avon Lake Patch, an online local news site for Avon Lake, Ohio. It is pretty sophisticated and is very up to date. My mom is taking part of the community gardens in Avon Lake and decided to blog about her ideas and thoughts about them.
If you live in or near Avon Lake, you should check out The Patch here. The editor of The Patch, Lori E. Switaj, runs the site very well and keeps everything up to date and fresh.
