My first payment!

I'll never forget the first time I earned my own money and got my first payment! I was 7 years old (yeah, I know that was illegal hahaha) and I was in Bucaramanga on my Christmas vacations! I was an uneasy girl and I always wanted to do something all day! Now that I think, maybe that was the reason I worked at that young age! hahaha. I remembered that my mom talked with our neighbor and asked him If he had something, at his bakery shop, that I could do easily... Surprisingly, he said " Yes"! So, I started to work from 9 am to 3 pm. It was the easiest job ever, I only had to put four small breads into a plastic bag! I have always been a hard- working girl, I was on time everyday at the bakery shop! After one week my boss told me: "Erika, come to the office, I want to talk to you!", I thought he was going to tell me something about all the "roscones" I had eaten! Hahaha but no, he gave me $ 9.500! I was in shock! I felt like the richest kid in the world! I couldn`t resist my excitement, so I ran towards my mom and told her: "Mom, look! My first payment! I'm rich! I want to keep working every time we come on vacations!" She laughed and told me: "OK, but don't spend all your money in candies!... I did it! hahaha  But, I always have remebered that day!... I am a big girl now and I have been working for almost ten years! But I'll never forget the day I got my first payment!
