Working students find financial independence

By TERRI CHILCOTE When adolescents enter high school, they find themselves on the threshold of adulthood and many enter the job market for the first time. Some high school students work part-time out of financial necessity. Others are seeking independence from parental pocketbooks. Lisa Fidler, 17, of r 1 North Webster has worked for Augsburger’s Super Valu for the past seven months. “I like to earn my own money and be able to drive to school. I'm going to save money for college,” replied the cashier when asked why she works part-time. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Fidler, she is a senior at Wawasee High School and works between 18 and 24 hours a week. ‘ Working has been a real learning experience for Lisa. She said she has learned a lot about people, responsibility and respect for others, especially those in higher positions. The high school senior doesn’t feel she misses out on school activitfes. “I always /find time for outside activities,” she commented. Lisa feels working students are usually more mature than nonworking students, “because they’re more pressured and have more responsibility.” She also remarked that working students learn that money is hard to come by. When asked about her parents attitude towards her job, she answered, “I think they like that I’m working. I think they’re just glad I found a job in the same town where I don’t have to drive very far. They have a positive attitude towards it.” Lisa enjoys working with figures, money and records in her job as cashier, but doesn’t like counting coupons and marking them down. Her pet peeve on the job is customers who are a few cents short and don’t understand why she can’t just let it go. Lisa’s career goal is to become a secretary. She plans to attend

The books were furnished by the national, non-profit Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) Program. This is the third year the Lakeland Community School Corporation has participated in the program. The purpose of RIF is to build a desire to read and pride in ownership of books. According to RIF r officials, 23 million Americans over age 16 do not read well enough to function in our present day society. Through free distribution of books, RIF hopes to change those statistics. (Photo by Terri Chilcote)

business college when she graduates from Wawasee High School. Jeff Evans, 15, of Milford works at The Papers Incorporated in Milford. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Timmons, he empties trash cans, sweeps, washes windows and does a variety of odd jobs for the company. He works about 17 hours a week. “I wanted to get a job, because I was low on money,” he explained. He said he is saving his earnings to buy a car and Christmas presents. “I don’t have to go up to my parents bugging them for money,” stated Jeff. When asked what he gains from working, he joked, “Muscles!” But he added more seriously that earning his own money has taught him to keep a budget.

He admitted he misses having more leisure time and pan ticipating in school activities. A Wawasee High School freshman, Jeff does find time to be in the school’s Cadet Choir and he’s planning to put together a rock n roll band. He plays the bass guitar. Jeff said his parents are pleased that he is working. “They told me jobs are hard to find and I should stay with this job,” he remarked. JEFF a 1 HALL 18-—4 J —J| Hk.
