Ahh September, summer holidays are over, students go back to school and everyone else settles back into their regular work routines. This was an unfamiliar experience for Jake. After graduating high school in June, he spent the summer ramping up the odd jobs business he and his best friend, Bruce, had started in grade 7. Though they lived in a very affluent community, Jake’s parents did not spoil or coddle him in his teen years, they merely mentored him. If he wanted something, he had to work for it. It started off with the boys mowing lawns and shovelling snow up and down the street.
