Summer 2023 I decided to get a part-time job. I really enjoyed my job because it gave me some sort of independence. I was able to make my own money and spend it however I liked. A couple months into senior year, I am realizing the cost of things. I have to pay for a prom ticket, a dress, and AP exams. There are many expenses that I have to pay for. I currently do not have this job, but I plan to work again during the summer to try and make money for college. The positive thing is that I was able to save up some money from my summer job to pay for some things. I think it is really important that students know the importance of saving and the value of their dollars.
