history: I was so proud of my 15 year old daughter. She was determined to work this summer, even with us telling her no one would hire her unless she was 16. She persevered and we were wrong -- she was hired at the first job she interviewed for! I am definitely a proud parent of our 15 year old -- she was determined to work this summer_comma_ and even with us saying no one would hire her until 16 -- she found a job! Well_comma_ that's impressive! I can see why you are proud. Sounds like a hard working young lady! That_comma_ and she's enjoying the independence of having her own money. Remember that? Making money that you truly could use for your *pleasure* (and not just necessities ?! ;-))
current: Yes, I was the same way too! I started working two days after I turned 16 so I could have my own money too!
next: Same! I was surprised 15 year olds *can* actually work during the summer. It's just finding an employer who knows those hours get cut WAY back once school starts.
