Amirah Harris is 23 old women stuck working dead end jobs of being a waitress and a motel maid. She works by taking orders, cleaning disgusting floors, and working inhumanly long hours. She goes to college on top of that which eats at her as well.
O...
Amirah's POV "AMIRAH GET OUT HERE YOU HAVE TABLES TO WIPE!" The shout of my boss rang out through the diner. Grabbing the rag next to me, I wiped down the tables.
My name is Amirah, Amirah Aiya Harris. I'm 23 years old & my birthday is September 18th, I'm a daughter of an African American mother and a Arab father. I'm 5'5 1/2 , yes it's short for my age but that's how it is. I'm the younger sister of 4 brothers and I'm a college student.
I've worked at this job for 4 years and my paycheck always sucks. I barely make enough to make it through the month. I really don't care though, just as long as I'm getting paid I'll keep working at this dumpster fire for as long as I can.
"Amirah table 15 needs a refill on sprite and orange juice." My cousin Dallas say as I grabbed the pitchers and got to it.
My work schedule is weird as many might say, I wake up at 5am, work from 6 am to 4:30pm at the restaurant.
Then I go to my college classes from 5pm to 6:15pm.
Lastly, I arrive at my second job and work from 6:45pm to 2:55am. Then is starts all over again.
My parents always worry for me because of my constant amount of working. they tell me I don't have to, but I'm like my father. I hate swallowing my pride because I'm stubborn and I like to be independent, I hate asking for help and relying on people.
I looked to the clock that sat above the main entrance of the restaurant, 4:30pm, "thank god." I whispered happily with a sigh.
Making my way to the back room of the restaurant I grabbed my phone, bag, and jacket from my locker. I locked it back as I clocked out.
I flagged down a cab that took me back to my apartment, when I got home I changed out of my work uniform and put on a pair of black tight with a red Nike hoodie and my black and white low top vans.
I gelled my hair into a a bun as I redid my edges. Once I liked how I looked I grabbed my backpack, phone, phone charge, laptop, and earbuds.
I placed them inside the black drawstring bag and popped a stick of spearmint gum in my mouth and locking the door behind me.
I caught another cab as I got to my college at 4:40 that gave me enough time to set up my desk with my notes and computer.
I major in animal care, zoology and biology. I always loved animals and I would do anything to help them.
"Hey sista what's up." I hear from my right.
I turn my head and see my friend Asjah, she's brown skin with and Afro, she's beautiful with a thick ass body, and we've been friends for each other for years.

"I've been good, just work and school." I said as her face changed from a smile to a smirk.
