Hey everyone! I knew I had a summer assignment, but I couldn't think of what to put on the blog. So, today I read a few post and realized people talked about their summer. I could jump right in and tell everyone what I am doing today, but I'm going to start from the beginning. When summer first started I was all for applying for jobs. I filled out a few applications for places in Lake City, but I only turned one of the three applications in. You're probably wondering why I only turned one application in. I only turned one application in because there was a chance I was going to spend most of my summer in Burlington, Wisconsin. There was a 50% chance of me spending my summer in Wisconsin, so I needed a backup plan in case I didn't go. I just turned 16 on May 16th so I knew I needed an ID to get a job. My mom's drivers license expired the day of her birthday so she went to get them renewed. I tagged along with my mom to the courthouse in Lake City hoping to get my ID made. I had high hopes of getting my ID, but sadly they were crushed. To get an ID you need your original birth certificate, but I only had a copy of mine. Overall, I have to wait until I get my original copy of my birth certificate from Illinois. That put my plans of getting my ID and my permit on hold! Within a couple days of not being able to get my ID my aunt Krissy contacted me. She told me that she would pick me up June 10th and I would be staying with her until July 22nd. At first I was excited, but after it hit me that I would be leaving a bunch of people behind in Arkansas my mood changed. I went from excited to scared within one minute. I didn't have my journal with me so I typed how I felt on my phone. After typing how I felt I talked myself into going. Even though I had many reasons to stay home in Arkansas, I told myself that I needed to go that it would be a good experience. So I cried some tears when it was time to say goodbye for 6 weeks (42 days). Today I spent my day laying around my aunt's apartment in Wisconsin. Oh, I almost forgot while staying down here I will be making $600 - $800 before I go back home to Arkansas! Anyway, I hope everyone has had a great summer so far!

Hey Dez! I hope you’re having a good summer! I just read your first blog and I was like woah. Because $600 - $800 dollars??? Wow! That’s a lot 0: . What do you do over there? I only volunteer over here so I make nothing an hour. But I agree! Experience is always great!! Anyways, I never knew you had to get your ID before getting a job. You just taught me something new! Cx I hate that you didn’t get your ID though, maybe you’ll end up getting it soon! I sure hope you do. Also, happy late birthday 0: sweet sixteen!!! Haha being sixteen is great. Well I hope you’re having fun over there. Maybe something awesome will happen over there! - Tatum Tornkvist
ReplyDeleteHey Dezarea, it's Carson and I'm a little behind on the commenting but this is my first one! I scrolled down to see all the post and read this one! I hope you're having a great time in Wisconsin. Im not sure if I could leave Arkansas for that long! 42 has away from home is a long time. I wish I was making that much money:( I really need a job but have no time, haha! I've never been to Wisconsin either. Maybe when you get back you'll have better luck in getting a job. Again I hope you're having a blast, and have a great rest if the summer!! See you soon
