My Summer with SYETP

:
My Summer with SYETP

This past summer I did many different things. First of all, I went fishing with Leslie Hunter Sr. during the king season. The fishing season for kings started on May 9th and ended on July 2nd. The king season wasn't too bad but then we didn't catch as many fish as last year. Then on my own time I went subsistence fishing so that my mom could put some fish away for the winter. And I also commercial fished with Roberta Fitka during the fall run. When I had nothing to do I went swimming over at the sandbar with friends and also hunting with my cousins.

I also worked for the first time with the SYETP. It means Student Youth Employment Training Program. The other people who worked with it were J.B., Joel, Joe, Vic, Ben, Everett, David, and Robert. We worked all over the place for the community trying to making it a better place to live. The pay we were getting was $6.45 an hour. When we first started working we were throwing trash for the people and then cutting trees that were in the way along the airport road. There was the danger that people riding on vehicles might bump other people. We also picked up trash around the dump and cut the trees on the nearby road so that no accidents would happen there. I liked the summer pretty much.
