At the assisted living center
Most teens don’t have to be pushed into their first jobs. All it takes is the call of money or a car to have us jumping out of the “birds’ nest.” I didn’t need much persuading either. The best summer I’ve ever had was spent working my first job at an assisted living center. I know it doesn’t sound like the ideal job for a teenager, but it was the most fun I’ve had “working” (if you can even call it that) in years. Every day was different; there was something new to learn, someone new to meet. The residents were so full of interesting stories and life. I befriended so many of the employees and residents, and I’m still in close contact with most of them. I can’t wait to go back to work.
