First Paycheck
Tagged by Jaguu
I have been working since I was sixteen. I have held various kinds of job (this is another blog topic) and at all these jobs the first paycheck is always special.
I remember my first paycheck of my first job, my parents got a good percent and I gave some to church. Years went by got more jobs, but still the first paycheck always went to my parents and church. After college graduation I got my first real job. This time again, after parents and church I used some to get me a digital camera.
I got my first job after marriage recently and this time the first paycheck went to my parents, Shekar's parents and church. My dad was so surprised and happy that I sent him a part of my first paycheck. It not like he needed the money, it’s more like a token of love. No matter how many jobs I change, I hope I can keep this tradition on.

pehla pay is the most momorable pay in our life.. with respect of whether the amount is small or big..
My first pay check:got it on 1st Sep'05. I had ordered a pair of watches to my parents...but, they have managed to deliver it three days after their marriage anniv...
Wish I knew to fly..as Ros said,, i wud have given them in hand.
Cheers,
RIK.
Thanks for reminding me of my paycheque and this lovely post. I used to work weekends during my teens,in an ad agency and when I got my first paycheck my Mom made put some money in church and buy some clothes for my Grandma. Like you said it was a token of respect. With my first salaries when I started working full time, I did the same thing. Though grandma is no more, my parents siblings got the token of my respect. I will never forget the look of pride in their eyes or their blessings :)
the first money i recieved for a job while in college a classmate said i had to contribute 1/10 of it to the chruch which i unwillingly did. will forever cherish my first paycheck recieved from sweeping floors and doing dishes at a cafeduring my MS studes...that feeling wuz special...i had started sending money home when i made this decision with my life...hope i can soon get back to earning and be a pillar of support to my parents again! beautiful post!!!!
:)

True, first pay is special. That is the great thing about this country- kids can work and parents actually encourage it too.
$rik
It the thought that counts. Ur parents would have been happy the same amount if the watch got their on time.
$silverine
Thanks. The is one our parents have taught us that we will never forget - the joy of giving.
