Here's another question to help you write your story.
What was your first job like?
People vary in when they started working their first job. Some may not get a job until they graduate from high school or even from college. Some get part time work during high school. Some start a newspaper route as a child. Some set up a lemonade stand and sell lemonade.
I felt that I always had a job as my help was needed on our farm. From as far back as I can remember I had chores to do like help gather eggs, feed the chickens, pull weeds in the garden, harvest the vegetables and the fruit from the orchard, herd the cow back to the corral, even try to milk the cow (which I wasn't successful at).
I didn't get a "job" until the summer after I finished my Associate's degree at our local community college. Since my mother's death when I was in high school I tried to take her place in the family business. I couldn't do all that she did, but I tried while I went to school. I decided to get a job the summer before I would be going away to a university to finish my education.
I took the Civil Service exam for summer hires and I got hired for summer work. Those typing and office practice classes came in handy just as my mother had said they would.
Write down what your first job was like. It will probably lead you into writing about all the other jobs you've had in your life. You'll have a great start on your story.
