The first time you got a work, what did you think?

when I was just a 1st year student of my university, I decided to start a part-time job. The first day I started this job was the day I will not forget. It was also my 20-age-birthday. Starting a job made me feel independent from my family. I also thought that I have become an adult since that day. And I had pride of dong it. It was a new feeling and new emotion to me. It made me try all my best to do that job. It can be said the succeed of my first company was my life's goals. And now I'm still trying to keep myself from losing this spirit. You see, because modern life is busy and stressful, you are always be faced of a lot of problems. So you can lose your spirit everywhere if you do not keep it well. Do you have the same thoughts to me? Do you think the first job has an important place in your memory? Do you think we should maintain our spirits of doing all jobs like the the first jobs?

Like you, I also started working part-time before I graduated from college or when I was still a college student. I wanted to help ease the burden of my parents in sending me and my siblings to school as early as possible; so I took the chance or opportunity to apply as a student assistant in the school where I graduated from high school or secondary education. Fortunately, I was hired by the school for an entire summer vacation. I had to sacrifice having my vacation with my parents and siblings but I guess it was worth it; since aside from earning some cash which I was able to save and use for my studies then, I was also able to know the value of money, perseverance, and diligence, earlier than the usual. Anyway, I noticed that your posts counter registered and indicated that you responded to only 11 discussions, to date; so I consider you a newbie here. I'd like to welcome you to this wonderful mylot community and I sincerely hope that you'll eventually decide to stay here for good. God bless.
