Emily decided to take a job at the local burger joint, excited to save money for college. “I’m flipping burgers, Mom!” she laughed, as if sharing news of a grand adventure. I admired her sense of responsibility—it made me proud. “You’ll learn a lot about life there,” I encouraged. Emily embraced each new experience, seeing every step as progress toward her dream of higher education.

Friendships at Work
Her new colleagues quickly became more than just co-workers—they turned into friends who made her shifts enjoyable. “They’re a bunch of goofballs, but I adore them,” she giggled over dinner, sharing stories of the camaraderie, the playful chaos during shifts, and the support they gave each other. “Sounds like you’ve got quite the crew,” I replied. These friendships strengthened her days, mixing work with laughter and lightening the burden of her journey.
