The author made me feel that minimum wage jobs were not made for adults that need to provide for their families‚ unfortunately though‚ these are the types of jobs that are always easily available

I believe there should be less testing because it takes up valuable time‚ money‚ and there are too many of them. In this section I will be talking about how many tests we take. Between preschool and being a senior we take about 112 tests. Taking all of those tests takes up about 20-25 hours each year.
