Working in a smokey diner

Working in a smokey diner

I didn’t go to college like most of my friends did after we graduated from high school.

My mom got really sick and I needed to make sure that I was at home so that I could take care of her.

She needed me to drive her to doctor’s appointments, pick up her medicine and make sure that she was eating healthy. It was a full time job and I didn’t have the money to go to college even if I wanted to. However, I was lucky to get a job right out of high school that would help me to pay the bills and didn’t take up too much of my time. I worked at a local diner that was right down the block from my house. I didn’t’ love working at the diner, but it helped me pay the medical bills. The diner was really smokey because it was one of the only places in the city that still allowed people to smoke inside. Every time I came home from work I was so happy that my mom had an air purification system at the house. I loved our air purification system especially after working a long shift at the diner. I tried to convince my boss that we should get an air purification system installed with the HVAC system at the diner, but he just laughed at me and said we didn’t have that kind of money. I hope that one day when I have my own house I will be able to have an air purification system installed too.
