When you are a young child, there aren’t easily several ways to make currency, however I worked hard to regularly have some source of income as a young boy.
- My parents didn’t have a lot of currency when my pal and I kids were young, so if my pal and I ever wanted a modern toy or some candy from the general store, my pal and I had to somehow come up with the currency on our own, however during the summers, my brothers and I would mow sods for our neighbors and elderly people in our church.
During the Spring and fall, my pal and I would disinfect people’s yards. Wintertime was usually the hardest work because my pal and I had to shovel snow. As a young skinny kid, shoveling driveways and sidewalks all day long would wear me out. Many people saw how hard my pal and I worked though, and they would pay us even more than what my pal and I were expecting. I can remember just one thing that would get me through those long cold nights of shoveling, and that was going cabin to a hot house. I would day dream about sitting by the heating vents as the hot air blew into my face. Although it may seem strange to others, it absolutely helped me get through those cold nights. My mom knew that as soon as my brothers and I got cabin from a day’s work all my pal and I wanted was a hot apartment and a cup of hot chocolate. Although those were nice nights, I am so delighted that the task I work now allows me to stay inside a hot office all day.
