I was asked to do it because the teacher thought I was responsible and she needed help. She offered to pay me $5! I learned how to do better art and, more importantly, that lending a helping hand is a nice thing to do!Ellery \"HF Ŕ 0SFHPOA great job that I enjoy is baby-sitting. I got my job by enrolling in a Red Cross baby-sitting and first-aid class, and a local nurse certified me in CPR. Also, since I baby-sit my three younger siblings (ages seven, two, and seven months), I was trusted. It also helps to baby-sit for people you know well. Later, I hung up flyers in my neighborhood. This experience taught me about leadership and responsibility. Baby-sitting is not only a great source of income, but it’s a way to help out parents, too.Jenna \"HF Ŕ 1FOOTZMWBOJBArt by Erin Mauterer.
