A few things had to be left in Atlanta. One was her summer job. India worked at Cold Stone Creamery during the summer to earn money for books. It wasn’t always easy because there were many nights she did not get home until after midnight. It was worth it though. She earned the money she needed for her books.  She learned a lot about business, working with people, and smiling when you don’t feel like smiling.

While it was  valuable experience  for a teenager, every day I reminded her that the reason she is going to college is so she won’t have to work at Cold Stone the rest of her life.

Shown here is India saying good-bye to Cold Stone.
