Experience as a Summer Youth
When I was first starting my job at Adult Ed-
ucation, I was very excited, but nervous. I didn't
really know any of my colleagues and I wasn’t
sure how to act. But this has been the best work
experience I’ve had. The people in this department
are very kind to one another and they welcomed
me in like I’ve been working here for many years.
I’ve also not only learned how to work profes-
sionally with people, but also how to use all the office supplies and
more in this department. Now I can put that on my resume and it
will help me later on in life. Overall, this has been an amazing job.
Next year I hope to get a job as great as this one.
