Paragraph
for Scholarships
I’m
going start off by saying this story involves a setback in my life but,
with an opportunity towards the end of the story. It all started two
years ago. When I turned 16 I always procrastinated filling any of my job
applications that I had gotten. I would pull up excuses like, oh I’ll fill it
out tomorrow, I lost it, or I have basketball all the time that would interfere
with my work schedule. Needless to say I was a lazy kid for a while.
Well my
mom took the initiative for me and started talking to some of her customers
(She’s a beautician). Within a couple of weeks after my 10th grade
baseball season my mom had gotten me a job at Hawkeye Ford. I washed cars and a
bunch of different things for example, picking up cars, delivering cars, go get
parts, and working with the body shop. It was one of the most informational
things I could have done there. I kept that job Intel I had to quit to devote
my time to baseball my 11th grade year.
After
baseball was over I got back into being a lazy kid once again. A few months
later I started applying for jobs. I would do one every day Intel I got a job. A
few weeks later the office made an announcement that Taco Bell was hiring. I went
straight there after school got out. I got an app and filled it out that night.
I turned it in the next day after school. I handed it to the boss and before he
had any time to look at it, he told me he was going to give me an interview the
next day.
I had
the interview and I hit off really good with the boss. At the end of the
interview he said I just wasn't what they were looking for. I was confused
because I thought it was a great interview. He waited a second so I could
contemplate what just happened then said “Ahh I’m just messing around Cade, When do you want to start working?” I was so confused at this point I had to
ask if he was being serious. I shook his hand a ton of times I was so happy. I
said to him “You just made my whole year, my mom’s going to be so happy! Thank
you for this opportunity I won’t disappoint you”
Finally
I had a job and money to spend. I still have that job to this day. The crew
members are awesome and my bosses were the best.
