I don't have a job yet cause I live in china. But I'm thinking of asking my mom if I could set up this Sunday-school thing in the mornings for little chinese kids. It'd be a mix of English class and Bible Class. It would be like, 5 mao(a quarter) for 1 kid. It would be in my room. I've always wanted to teach but i want also to be a librairian.(Is my spelling right???)

I have 5 jobs, in the winter I shovel snow for 3.00, in the fall I shovel leaves for 1.75, inthe sunner i sell lemonade for 25 cents, in the sping I sell flowers for 25 cents, and pick weeds for 1.00!

Well, it's pretty hard (and by that i mean near impossible) to find a regular job 13 year olds can do. Especially if your 4ft 7in tall, which makes people think im too small to do any work (bleh). Luckily I get an allowance on my-get this- debit card. Most people at stores look amazed i have one and question my moms generosity. But, it has helped me a lot to understand how money works, and i have to work for it by doing chores at home. So i gained 3 things: responsibility, managing money smarts, and a pretty sweet debit card.

I am very good at managing things, so I am a Manager for some of my friends who have buisinesses. I take orders, advertise, deliver the products and lots more, and I think it's super fun!

I babysit my younger cousins that are like 2 and 3 along with my sister and 2 cousins. We get like 1 dollar per hour lol. There is this thing at school where parents can use some of the students at our school to babysit their children and we signed up and we get used like 3 or 4 times a month. You have to be in grade 6 and up and I am in grade 6.
