What is WIA to me?

WIA... The Work Investment Act. Something that in general sounds a lot more boring than it is.

WIA, to me at least, means a lot of things: Freedom, Independence, and not to mention money. This program, in spite of its very droll name and promise of minimum wage slave labour IS fun. Yes, fun. Where else in the world can you sit and blog AND MAKE MONEY? It's every teenager's dream; being paid to do what their parents tell them they are wasting their lives doing.

I am in Miss T's Digital Media class/job thing ( I am quite unsure as what to call it, I mean, we're getting paid so it IS a job but at the same time, it's almost as fun as going to the movies... But with a little less drama and a lot more money earning) and our assignment is to blog about WIA's meaning to us. Aaaawesome.

I feel like a nerd in Bill Gates' electronic playroom, or maybe a hamster in a mansion sized tube-filled home. Ever so wonderful.

I personally cannot wait for my first paycheck. Not to spend it ( or at least, not any more than three Mayhem Fest concert tickets cost ), but to put it in the bank and save it for when I move out. This program has given me, in essence, the start to my Independence. They key to freedom. The path to life.

I think I am going to enjoy this more than any other summer activity I have ever done.

This program, WIA, means a chance to finally have fun. Something I have been lacking as of late.

It means a chance to happiness.

It means me enjoying myself.

Thanks to whomever thought it up- You're my hero.
