It was about the third week in June last year. My 15yearold son had already settled into his summer routine：Go to at 2 a. m. and wake up at 1 p．m. only to get back on his puter to play puter games dinner.
It was the middle of the when the sound of his puter games woke me up again. I couldn't that any more and decided it was time for him to get a summer job. I got on the puter and found a lifeguard certification class that the next day, and a pany that teenagers to guard their pools.
From that day I woke him up at 8 a．m. every day for him to the class. At first, he continued to plain that I was his summer. But by the end of the week, he was actually going. He learned something about first aid, figured he really could someone from drowning, and got some ideas on how to work for a living.
Two weeks later, he had a as a lifeguard. He took his responsibility very and never went to work late. This summer, he will be working fulltime at a pool. He says a lot of his don't have jobs. And I say that is because their mothers didn't try enough! Even if your kid is super with finals and afterschool activities and doesn't have time, you can job information for him.
Whether it is an ice cream store, a movie ， or a summer camp, you can ask if they are hiring for the summer. After your kid gets a job, pay attention to the to make sure he is never late.
