Best and Worst Job

 Working at Boys and Girls Club in Colorado would have to be one of the best jobs I've ever had. I was responsible for helping youth grow into becoming responsible healthy citizens. It was a beautiful thing because I was able to see a lot of youth start out at age 6 and become an amazing part of our community all the way through middle school. I think the skills that I developed at BGC that will serve me at internship are skills like being on time, being accountable for my actions, keeping a positive attitude, having good communication skills with parents, etc. At BGC I learned that it takes a lot of hard work and effort to keep consistent with every youth that attends BGC so that each youth knows your expectations of them and how they can always strive to learn and do their best. Through this process, I learned that it takes a lot of self discipline to be able to go to work everyday with a positive attitude and be ready to take on whatever comes your way. The worst job I ever had was helping my mom clean two buildings. It was the most exhausting, worthless job, that paid the least amount of money I've ever had. I had to make sure each building was clean so that my mom and I never received any letters of complaints from the staff that occupied the buildings. From this experience I know I learned how it feels to really work hard and get my hands dirty. Also, I always made sure to keep in mind that I was doing this to help my mom out so she didn't have to clean both buildings by herself. Which made me feel good in the end because I enjoy helping people.
