Last week when Josh's parents came over at one point Laurie took me aside and told me she'd talked to a few people in her building about tutoring. She told me that a couple of her neighbors were interested and I should get business cards printed up immediately. I thought it was silly - I'm 17! I don't like, deserve business cards.
But when I talked to Josh he said yes, his mother was right, I definitely needed business cards. So right now I am waiting for Vistaprint to send me a stack of them that I picked out. Last night at fire family dinner I got a phone call from this woman on the UES saying she got my name from Laurie and wants someone to help her twins with their homework after school. Three days a week. Laurie had told everyone she talked with that I charge $20 an hour. Do you realize how much money three times a week will be?! Today someone else called me to ask if I will read with her son twice a week.
We are starting next week. I am giving notice at the diner tomorrow, I am very nervous.

You=AWESOME. that's so fabulous. I'm glad you've got people in your life to help like this-makes a huge difference.
You must be a better person than I. I cannot stand tutoring or teaching people. Patience, I have none.
That is so neat and at just the right fee. Good luck and you'll do great :-)
Laurie obviously thinks highly of you. And I suspect, from what I've seen, that her opinion is justified.
All the best. :)
So excited for you! Good luck, you'll do great, kudos to Laurie, great move on the cards! Bye bye diner!
YES! I'm so glad you can tell the diner "GOODBYE"! Tutoring is such easy money and the hour or 2 you spend with the kids will fly by. So happy for you!
Tutoring will look GREAT on your resumé too! I think it's fantastic that Josh and his Mom are so supportive. Things are looking up girl!
P.S. I've ordered from Vistaprint before and they are FAB.
All the best!
Wonderful. Good riddance to the diner.
