R134 — Develop a budget
Explore R134 · 75 Cents Per Hour - Pearl Kennedy-Colombe - OSEU #2 · OSEU 7
Reviewed teaching connection (Exploratory): Pearl Kennedy Colombe recalls summer café work, hourly pay, and paying weekly rent while attending school. This supports R134 by inviting students to practice a budget using additional teacher-supplied numbers. This is a classroom transfer opportunity; the interview does not provide a complete procedure for demonstrating this competency.
Updated for Proposed August 9, 2024: New connection to the overall current understanding. No specific OSEU standard alignment is claimed. Original JAG–interview approval retained.
In 1952, they let the liquor law loose. They turned the Indians loose to go ahead and drink. And my life started going downhill. My parents started drinking. And so in 1959, they died in a car accident…both of them…together. My mother died on her 50th birthday, and my dad died the next day. But he prepared me. We used to go fishing…and he’d talk to me…and he told me “These older kids…they don’t think…they don’t worry about you guys. If anything happens to me, you look out for the younger ones.” So when they died in 1959, I…since I was fourteen years old…I was working in Chamberlain at the Derby Cafe every summer…and there was a lady in Chamberlain, Mrs. Leiferman…would give us rooms to rent for five dollars a week. Minimum wage was like 75 cents. So I paid my rent every week and I stayed all summer long. Me and my sisters and my cousins…she took in all the Indians, you know.
