My name is Jack. I work night shifts at a hotel. I am saving for college. I want to go to school for teaching My favorite actor is robert deniro I like the rocky movies I love snow and ice skating. I like coffee.
I work at a hotel. I hate working long hours. I am saving for a truck Boxing scares me. I hate watching people fight. I love voting in elections
I just won $60 on a scratch card on the way to the coffee shop. I am going to put it away in my college savings. That's awesome! How much do you still need? I almost have enough to buy this new truck I've been eyeing, but I think I want to buy a Jeep instead!  If the scholarships I am applying for come through I think I will need about $20,000 more.  Jeeps are pretty awesome.  That is a good choice. That's still a ton of money, how much time do you have left to save all that up? I heard the coffee shop by my place is hiring, maybe you can work opening shifts there too!  I know the owner, so I can put in a good word in for you if you're interested.  I will start college in the fall.  I have enough to cash flow the first two years, so will need to keep working throughout college to save that $20,000.   Are you going to keep your job at the hotel while you go to college? It's going to be a lot to keep up with, you won't have any time for ice skating! I don't want you to overwork yourself.  I am going to try a work study program and give up the job at the hotel.   That sounds like a good plan, I did that when I went to college too. Are you nervous about starting school? Are you going to live on campus or still at home? I saved a ton by living at home while I went to school, I graduated with zero debt! I am planning to live at home still.  I want to graduate debt free as well, since teaching is not a very high paying job. What made you decide you wanted to teach? You only need a bachelor's degree for that, right? Or do you need a master's degree? I had some really good teachers that guided me and want to give back to the community.  To get started I will need a bachelor's degree, but may get a Master's later on. That's wonderful, I'm so glad you had wonderful experiences that inspired you to pursue this path. Are your parents supportive of your decision to be a teacher? Do you plan on teaching little kids, teenagers or college students? Kids of all ages make me nervous, I can't imagine helping them learn! I'd be a total mess.
