“I recently got my first job at Mega Coney Island as a waitress. It was really hard at first, but I’m extremely proud of myself for sticking with it and learning instead of just giving up. It was hard to memorize the menu in a short amount of time, and also talking to strangers was out of my comfort zone. But I think any job is hard and stressful when you first start, so I would say I’m most proud of myself for committing to it because It helped my communication skills and it’s taught me a lot about responsibility.”
