My Two Favorite Jobs

My first grown up job, the first one was working inside the Burbank Mall in SEARS as a cashier. I was only sixteen at the time, it was a great experience for me. I learned many responsibilities such as customer service, cash handling, getting along with my co-workers, and working the register. I realized that a simple smile can make a customer feel comfortable enough to approach you and ask you a question about a product or about the sale. It is very important for the customer to feel welcome inside the store so he/she will tell more friends about the wonderful customer service in SEARS and hope they will go check out the store for themselves.
I worked a t SEARS for a year and was happy they had given me the opportunity to work with them.
However, I was going to start college in the fall in August at Mount St. Mary's in downtown Los Angeles and I found a job near my campus. I left SEARS to work at another wonderful job that I love and I am currently employed in. It's an after school program called A World Fit For Kids and I'm a second grade coach. I help the children with their homework, teach them how important it is to stay healthy, and keep them active during the program.
The children that I currently work with have also taught me some valuable skills. They have taught me to be patient with them and considerate. They love it when I reward them for their good behavior with treats like ice cream or candy. I enjoy working with children and I feel that I am also making a difference in their lives. So, when they get older I know they will never forget their fun, loving, and caring second grade coach from the after school program they were once enrolled in.
