Be Responsible

Tweet

I could go into my life story but I won`t and just hit on a few high points. Being responsible for yourself is something we all have to do, you cannot depend on anyone but yourself. My dad raised 2 girls on less than $500 a month and paid rent, when we asked for "things" he told us to get a job, so yes at age 13 I worked, baby sitting or doing yard work or cleaning someones house, at age 16 I worded a full time job as a cashier. At age 16 I began to pay my part of rent, lights, water and heat and that was 1/3. Growing up my dad made sure we got clothes for school each year, a roof over our heads, food we cooked, a warm house in the winter and a t.v. to watch, even cable. What he taught me : You are responsible for your actions, whether you use words or fists. You are responsible for your upkeep, don`t be a bum. You don`t have a car, walk. You don`t have a job, get one. You don`t have food, grow it. if its wintertime? Beans and potatoes last a long time and do not cost no more than the pack of cigarettes I smoked. I had a wonderful childhood, It was not all work, but we were responsible girls. There were times I did fail and had to move back home for a month or so, but I went back to the same things, I paid my part. Nowadays I see parents now allowing their children to go to work till they finish college! Not even an after school job. So, what is my point? Most people think they are doing without but they are not. Some freak out about no wifi and no source to watch t.v. Some freak out because they cannot go shopping for more junk to fill their already packed full home. Some freak out because they do not have a car and would NEVER lower themselves to walk to the store or to work. Doing without is not having any income and you are in a wheelchair and cannot go to work. Oh wait! I know people that do work that are in wheel chairs. Be responsible for your life and God will bless you.
