"Day Camp Drama"

It's hard to look past the month that's ahead,
Especially considering how fast time has sped.
However, with no money and no bank to rob,
I began to consider a new summer job.

With some research and consideration, I found some good ones.
I didn't know which was best, but they all sure looked fun.
Then I narrowed it down like I knew that I should,
 to Spring Lake Day Camp, located in Ringwood!

I went and I filled out the online application,
I had decided that Ringwood was the perfect location.
This was all that I had to do,
And they emailed me to schedule an interview.

We picked out a day and time that I'd arrive,
And my good friend Nick offered to drive.
We both had interviews scheduled that day,
And I was quite nervous, asking "What do I say?!"

The interview went well, I didn't have to worry,
But I wanted their decision to come in a hurry.
I still haven't found out if I have been hired,
And the stress of it all has been making me tired.

In about a week, I should definitely know
If I will spend my summer "rolling in the dough".

"Senior Service Struggle"

An opportunity that nobody seems to want to miss
Is the option to leave school for senior service.
It seems that all of my classmates, especially my friends  
Want to escape the high school before the school year ends.

Maybe leaving school early wouldn't be bad,
But when I thought about it more, I started to get sad.
Leaving the place I've been for the last four years
Is a bittersweet feeling, I'm holding back tears.

After careful thought and consideration,
I decided to do it, and picked a location.
I'd work with Mr. Bliss, a middle school teacher,
But then I found out what my transcript had to feature.

I had to have taken a specific class for that form of service.
I thought "Now what?" and started to get nervous.
Tomorrow's Teachers was a class I didn't take,
And because of that senior service was a stake.

I quickly thought of a great alternative,
To spend the time that I was willing to give.
The Senior Center located right in town,
And with that I turned my frown upside-down!

I contacted the director, as I was told to,
And she told me we could set up an interview!
All that's left to do is to pick a date,
So please wish me luck, I'll make sure I'm not late!
