So much so, in fact, that I got recertified last summer even though I had no intention of lifeguarding again. <br />Let's go back to high school and be life guards again! <br />Alyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894357457181031723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043899489936139255.post-45085125193196367242012-08-29T08:35:36.291-06:002012-08-29T08:35:36.291-06:00Hmm...I think the job that taught me the most was ...Hmm...I think the job that taught me the most was my first job. I worked in the factory part of my family's company. I was 13 years old, and up until that point, thought I was a princess because my parents and grandparents were wealthy. Making boxes in an un-air-conditioned factory for 10 hours a day during the SC summer really made me appreciate what I had. My family had to work HARD to get to their positions, and working with the "regular employees" made me realize that I was not above hard work and that nobody deserves a handout. It gave me a work ethic that most "heiresses" don't have and I learned the value of a dollar very early in life. I'm so thankful my parents made me work in the factory! I hated it at the time, but my parents really knew what they were doing! <br /><br />I LOVED this post, Kristen. :) And you look so pretty with your tan skin and blonde hair! I looked like that during all my younger summers, too. Sigh. To be young! ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7043899489936139255.post-80639145046014594162012-08-29T07:56:30.841-06:002012-08-29T07:56:30.841-06:00My favorite job was my time as a salon director fo...My favorite job was my time as a salon director for a tanning salon. Yes, I know that tanning is superficial and not healthy. But I loved that job. I was more of a mentor than a boss to young girls. I also loved helping our customers feel their best. You learn a lot about people inside and out when you work in the beauty industry.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800885584221154638noreply@blogger.com
