Tag! I'm it!

Becky, a former and future parent in my classroom has tagged me. The task is to list 8 jobs I have had or currently have. Here goes:
Babysitter:
From the age of 11 I babysat for a million kids in my parent's old neighborhood. People literally fought over me. I found it hillarious! I also worked at my Aunt Trudy's daycare for a while when I was in high school.

Bob Evans:
My first real job. I was a hostess and a waitress. It was a good job and it helps me to realize how hard people work in the restaurant business.

Jack's Fruit Market:
This was basically a small grocery store where I was a cashier and "worked the floor" filling the cheese and dairy case, chips, grocery, banana table, bulk candy, cookies, etc. It was a fun job for a while.

Day Camp Counselor:
One summer I worked as a camp counselor at a Christian day camp. I really loved it.

College Student:
As an undergrad and a graduate student I have found this to be one of the most important jobs I have participated in.

Student Ambassador/Tour Guide:
As a student at Western Michigan University I worked in a variety of jobs in the Student Ambassador office. We were like a welcome wagon for potential students. I liked giving tours and setting up special tours for school groups.

Hampton Inn Front Desk:
I worked for two different Hampton Inns for two different summers. I really liked that job, not too labor intensive except you can't sit down. Sometimes it was CRAZY busy and sometimes it was so boring that I couldn't stand it.

Kindergarten Teacher:
This is obvously what I would call my career. I find this to be my true calling and my passion in life. I LOVE being a teacher. I can't wait to meet my new kids and although this is the most exhausting job I have ever had, it is by far the most rewarding. I mean, I literally teach children how to read! That is a huge responsiblity and one I don't take lightly.

Thanks Becky, that was a fun survey. For being 26 years old I have done a few different jobs. I am glad that I did each of them because it kept me going through college to do the job that I love, but it wasn't easy. I guess it helps me to remember that I didn't have everything handed to me. I have worked straight through since I have been 11 years old. Most of the time I did two jobs at once. I guess that is why taking 3 classes this summer seemed do-able to me. I always do too much, oh well. I hope one of my next jobs includes the word "mom".
