Jobie life

Cami and Chloe' are both Jobs Daughters (jobies). This is a service and leadership organization for girls ages 10 to 25. Cami has been in Jobies for 6 years and Chloe' for almost 4 years.

Jobies are a great group and a trying group all in one. They have really helped the public speaking skills and the leadership skills of Cami. Jobies have different positions and they have a set of line offices. In each group (bethel) they have a set of elected line offices the highest office for each group is Honored Queen. Cami was honored queen previously and is now in the line again. She is right in front of Chloe' in the line officers.
Chloe' has really enjoyed the jobie activities and she likes the competitions they have (surprise surprise). They have skit, drill, soft ball, ritual and choir competitions every year. She is trying to learn how to do projects and deal with adults. This is a problem she has because she is not use to dealing with adults. The adults in the group are mostly good but there are a couple that are just plain hard to deal with and or she doesn't like. I have tried to explain that this is something that you will have to deal with in real life.

Since it is a girl org there is always girl drama or as we call it "Jobie Drama". Sometimes I think this is caused by adults who mean well but don't let the girls figure it out on their own. Also the Jobies likes to take up as much free time as possible. They feel that each and every holiday needs to be taken up with Jobie things. We finally have to say no sometimes.

All in all they are good and Cami and Chloe' love being a part of Jobies
