I babysat a few of my mum's friends' kids for money, and some other kids before I could get a proper job. Even when I was working I still dealt with babysitting. I am responsible, and if I ever made a mistake with work I would own up to it and either apologize or fix it but I rarely made a mistake worth bringing up. I could handle the work schedule and the hours rather quickly.
They do seem boring but I write for the fun of it. Writing essays does actually become entertaining if you do it simply because you want to, rather than being instructed to by a professor or something. But they also grant me a larger vocabulary as well allowing me to look at more controversial topics and see a perspective that I may or may not agree with or understand. This actually allows me to communicate with society a little easier as I don't openly judge because my opinion or thought process is not the only one.
