Emily’s New Job
Emily decided to take a job at the local burger joint, eager to save money for college. ‘I’m flipping burgers, Mom!
‘ she laughed, as if announcing a grand adventure. I admired her sense of responsibility, a trait that made me beam with pride.
‘You’ll learn a lot about life there,’ I encouraged. Emily thrived on gaining new experiences, viewing each as a stepping stone toward her dream of higher education.
