Financial Education at an Early Age of Latinos
Ciao, come stai ! (Italian for) Hello how are you or how is it going? Daniella Peterson, my friend from Italy, has been my speaking partner and has been teaching me about her culture and home land. I have had so much fun with her and we have become better friends through this experience.
Schorndorf, Germany 1924 CHA-CHING! The alarming and irritating sound of the worn down cash register was at the bottom of the endless list of my worries. Life at that point was a tornado. WOOSH!WOOSH!
Growing up, my parents couldn 't always afford what I wanted, but I always had food and shelter. My dad’s family brought him to California chasing the American dream. He had to dropout of high school in order to help provide for his family due to economic problems. He was only sixteen having to work in the fields. My dad is currently working as a forklift driver for Driscoll’s where he has been working for over twenty-five years.
Most teens had started working at actual jobs around the age of 12. Because of the work that was expected of the teens it was common for them to be done with school once they had graduated high school and in some cases they didn’t even go to high school and began working as soon as they were done with the
but I began working at age 14, and my parents left me what they had. Once I have enough money and turn 18, I am traveling to New York City to run my own business and live my life the way I
While your working you should be making your own money. I guarantee that your parents are going to be happy at the fact that they don't have to pay for your phone anymore. Plus if you get in to trouble they can't take your phone away because you paid for it. And if you want to go out with some friends you'll have the money, you would not have to ask your mom or dad for 20 dollars to go to the movies, or to go to the mall. You can buy your own car and insurance.
I don’t have time for a job, I am not even eligible because of age restrictions, and I can’t drive. So what do I do when I need money? Just ask my mom or dad for it, that teaches me nothing. Considering I spend most of my time focused on school it would make sense to get some sort of income for doing so. The money saved up could be used for college, that could help the less fortunate that didn’t even see college as an option for them.
Looking back when I was growing up, or just with younger children we were always trying to grow up to soon. Until now I really didn 't understand what status offending was. Yes I did some bad things, but I never got caught and it wasn 't that bad. The reason children even break these rules, because society establishes the rules on the child in the first place. When children wake up to when they go to bed, constantly there are rules they have to follow on a daily basis.
rough draft when i was little, i didn’t care about spending money, but now that i 'm older i am more careful about my spendings. when i was young, my parents gave me all i wanted and i didn’t have to pay for my own things which was really great for the longest time. my parents got me the things that i wanted like clothing,games,toys and they gave me money every now and then for school and other things that i wanted so i got money easily and i can spend it on anything else i wanted. now that i 'm older my parents rarely gave me money and if they did it’s because i’m going somewhere or doing something . they want me to make my own money and make me feel more responsible about it which at first i thought it was a stupid idea and there
I was raised to be financially independent during my teen years. When I was young, my parents offered me and my siblings chores, and at the end of the week we would receive an allowance. That is how I began my savings, and started spending my own money before I landed a job years later. When I got a job at 16, my parents would pay minimum for my expenses; I bought my own clothing, games, books, and electronics - I even paid for a school trip to Costa Rica! Do not get me wrong, they would pay for the family outings, dinners, and trips, but whatever expense that I desired to contain for myself, I would pay for it.
I did not work because my main priority is to take care of my younger sister. My experiences of staying home alone at a young age was a major reason my father and I agreed that I would babysit her while he works. We believed that she should always have someone lean on at all times if she has school-related or personal problems. In addition, my father forbade me from working because he believes that I would not put as much effort in my academic if I did so. I did not begin volunteering until I was in tenth grade because I had just moved to a new state just before my freshman year.
I am a middle child, yet I am not the yelling, screaming, dramatic kid who strives to get others’ attention. I am probably the only middle child in the world who doesn’t hunger for the spotlight to shine on them as they act in idiotic ways to gain scraps of validation. I remember the very day that I became a middle child. Up to my sixth year I lived as the youngest child, bathing in the attention of my father.
Life for me growing up was super difficult. A lot of my childhood was pure traumatic. Also, it was a struggle for me and my family, money wise and food wise. Also, our house was very small. We even lost our father and I also became a teen mom.
Today was your 16th birthday, you had looked forward to this day for your whole life. When you were little you would sit in the driver 's seat of your mom’s car while it was parked in the driveway, imagining being 16 and being able to drive. If only you then that being 16 wouldn’t be anything like the glory days you dreamed of. If you knew when you were a little girl that on the day of your 16th birthday you wouldn’t be driving your moms car, but instead sitting by her hospital bed both of your hands full, one with her sick, cold hand the other with your fathers phone number.
