As a young teen, Riz does not enjoy as much as other teenagers would. Her
weekends are spent on looking for work so she can earn her allowance. She spends two
hundred pesos a week. One hundred pesos for her lunch, eighty pesos for her fare and
twenty pesos for classroom dues.
She earns more than what she needs for the week. On Saturdays, her routine
would be to go to a distant relative and wash clothes for a small earning of one hundred
pesos. In the afternoon, she volunteers weeding at a neighbor’s garden for an hour and
gratefully receives fifty pesos for the work extended.
On Sunday after church, she would iron out her teacher’s uniform for a fee of one
hundred pesos. Despite her weekend routine, she remains to be one of the smartest in
class.
