HouseKeeper
I will be paying for all of my tuition and board bills for my freshmen year up until I am completely done with school. I have known this since the day I decided to go to college. I did not actually decide I wanted to go to college until I was fourteen. That year, I got my first job at Village Inn as a hostess. Since then I have been used to working at least 30 hours a week. After quitting my first job because of my managers harassing me and accusing me of false acquisitions I took a break from working until summer. During the summer I ended up working at Santa Lucia a Greek stand at the fair. I also started working at a concession stand for the baseball beer league in West Fargo, ND. My uncle got me this job, and I remember every day one of his friends would come up to my stand and say “Hey Sandy! Oh that’s right! You are not Sandy! You just look exactly like her.” (Sandy is my mother) So you could tell how this would get really annoying, in the end I decided not to work there the next year. After these jobs, I worked at subway as a main closer, and sometimes as an opener. Then I quit and worked in a sports bar and grill named Pepper’s. Which was the only job I really did not like, I was a hostess and sometimes waitress which did not require much work so I often got bored. The summer after this I worked for Erbert and Gerbert’s which is a subs and club shop. I was offered a much better job opportunity at Fleet Farm, which is a like a Walmart for farmers, except Fleet Farm has the absolute, most inexpensive prices. After working here for a year, I decided I was going to take the summer off for once, but I ended up walking into a firework store and they mentioned they were hiring just for a week, I thought to myself well it is just a week. Apparently I was a good worker because they wanted to hire me full time for the rest of the summer. I ended up saying yes, and worked 12 hours a day Monday through Saturday and 9 hours on Sunday from the middle of June until the beginning of September. I have felt almost deprived until today when I started my first day at Super 8, as a housekeeper. I hope this job will last for the rest of my college career, because so far it is an easy job and I enjoy the people I work with.

My roommate was a housekeeper at Super 8. It was fun to see all the things she would find in the rooms. She also had some funny stories almost everyday. I hope you have fun.
