reggie, i do remember what it was like to depend on my mom for rides when i was in junior high and high school to go for a job. and now knowing why your mom likes you close to home makes sense. keep your eyes open, tell the adults in your church/school/dads and moms friends that you're looking and something will turn up, it might take awhile, but telling people you want to work will make you stand out. kind regards, joyce
