I paid the heating bills with the money that I made from my part time job last year. I got a new part time job because my mom had not been feeling well for a while. I felt bad for her because she was so stressed out about money all the time. She was a single parent for as long as I can remember. My dad has never really been in the picture, so to speak, and so it’s always just been me and my mom. Anyway, last year, she had some health issues and so she could not work nearly as much as she usually did. That was making her feel worse and worse because she was concerned about making enough money for the both of us. I didn’t want her to worry so much and I had quite a bit of free time on my hands after school so I ended up getting a part time job. Instead of blowing the money that I earned on things like clothes and video games, I decided to give my mom all of the money so that she could pay the heating and cooling bills with it. For the last six months of the year last year, I paid the heating bills for my mom. She was so appreciative of it that it made her cry more than one time. I told her that it was the least that I could do. I always believe in doing what I can to help. I think that my mom has raised me the right way! I know that I will always keep on paying the heating and cooling bills for her for as long as I have this job.
