Here is an alternative idea to having grandpa Joe pay your bills for you.
This is my youngest daughter - she’s 14. This is her second year working a summer job. She decided where she wanted to work and walked in a resume. They didn’t call. So she called them, twice. Then went in to see if they had looked at the resumes yet. They hadn’t. They asked her if she had time now to do an interview. She said “yes”.
She got the job.
She works whatever shift they want. She posted a sign on the employee bulletin board telling co-workers if they want a day off she’s happy to help.
She cleans dishes and toilets. Takes out garbage and mops the floor. Waits on customers and manages money. She makes fancy coffees and smoothies.
It’s not glamorous- but she’s saving 70% of what she makes to become a doctor. The other 30% is going towards a computer and time with her friends.
She’s leaning in. She’s putting the work in. She impresses me.

Downey High students (and a local neighbor) helped push a Cessna 210 from Warren High to its new home on the Viking campus today. The six-seat aircraft belongs to teacher Glenn Yamasaki, who is moving from Warren to Downey High effective this new school year. Downey Police escorted the students as they pushed the plane across town, mostly through small residential streets. The aircraft will be used by engineering students. Photos by Eric Pierce
