At 18 years old, Audrey started working at her first job.
Her first paycheck was $20.
But the gain cannot be measured by money.
She said, “I met some really nice people. And I am not so afraid of approaching people to talk to them anymore.”
She also learned to dress a little more professionally, learned to fold shirts and towels beautifully, and learned to use an electronic cash register.
She learned what’s it’s like to keep a schedule, what it’s like to get tired from working, what’s it’s like to deal with difficult people, what it’s like to work with people, and work under a boss.
All this she learned without having to pay tuition!
Work is not just about a paycheck.

I suppose she also learned about taxes too…
And don’t worry, those tuition fees will soon be upon us. Tell her to keep an eye on her BAR account next month.

That’s right, Nat, always taxes…
Better take more advantage of your education at UCLA with those tuition fees
