Growing Up
Growing up is something you always look forward to. When Danielle was a little girl, she looked up to her mother. She always wanted to dress like her and wear makeup. Danielle looked to her mother and said, “Mom will I ever be able to be like you?” She replied, “Yes honey, don’t rush to become older. Enjoy your childhood because being an adult is no joke.” Danielle stared in space for a while wondering what she meant. She said to herself, “What does she mean? I would love to wear heels and makeup every day and not have to go to school. It can’t be that bad.” As Danielle started growing up she realized getting older came with responsibilities. She was expected to do her own chores. She had to make up her bed, walk the dog, wash the dishes, and fold her laundry. Over the years she got tired of doing chores. Her 16th birthday came around and she got a new black charger. She was so excited to be able to ride around with her friends and no adult. That was her first taste of real accountability. She had to keep gas in her tank and make sure she was careful at all times on the road. Her mother came downstairs to give her some news. “Now that you have a car, it is time for you to get a job” her mother said. Danielle was loss of words because she couldn’t believe her mother was making her work for her own materials. The next day, she followed her mother’s instructions and went job searching. Danielle went to numerous places but nothing seems too interesting to her. She heard about a job opening for a basketball instructor at the recreation center. Danielle was so happy because the job fits her perfectly. She gets to do something she loves while making money at the same time. She filled out the application hoping to get a call to be scheduled for an interview. She drove home eagerly to tell her mom about her thrilling news. Her mother was proud that her daughter was growing up and taking her responsibility so well. As weeks has gone by, she was leaving
