Hi Sienna. That's really admirable that you want to start working to become more independent and help your mom. I would say, first be young and enjoy your youth as long as possible. You'll have so much time as you get older to work. I'm not sure what programs are available at your high school, but when I was in high school we had a program called On the Job Training (OJT). Students who were 15/16 yrs were able to leave school a bit earlier to go to work very nearby for a few hours. I knew of some classmates in this program who worked in local department stores and grocery stores that were not far from the campus. I would speak to your counselor at school to see if there are any similar programs that may benefit you. Volunteering can also be a great way to determine if the type of work is something that you could see yourself doing. I worked part-time as file clerk after school at a pediatric doctor's office my freshman year high school. I ended up working there through high school and during the summer after my freshman year of college. If there are any local camps nearby looking for camp counselors, that could be a great opportunity as well for the summer months. If you're doing well academically, becoming a tutor can be a great way to earn some extra income. You could help younger students after school and meet at a library to help them with Math, Reading, homework, etc. Good luck to you!
