Brent's friend Brad is in the real estate business. From time to time, Brad needs to clean up a property or fix things up on a property before he can sell it. This last Saturday he called up and asked for Mitchell to come and work for him for the day fixing up a house. Mitchell was able to get his first "employment" experience. He learned how to do many tasks including how to caulk things. When he didn't do it correct the first time, Brad showed him how to do it correctly. Mitchell was then able to do the caulking really well. This pattern repeated itself throughout the day with all of the projects he was given. We learned that Mitchell does better when he is shown exactly how to do something. Then he can do it with no problem or mistakes. He worked hard from 11am until when I picked him up at 7pm and he was paid for his work. Mitchell now has a taste of the "real world."

Way to go Mitchell!!!I bet it feels great to have that experience under your belt... and the $ sure is nice too!!!! Keep up the hard work!!!
The real world is tough. Get an education and I feel that it is a little easier. But just always do your best. Maybe Mitchell can come and fix up our house when we buy it, now that he is a pro.
