workplace gratitude

                       


               The only place I have worked before was at the Revere Recreation Center. It was a seasonal a job in the summer and I have done it for two years now. Our job is to watch kids in a local park from 10am-2pm. My first year doing it wasn't good. I loved the kids they weren't the problem! It was the teens I worked with! Ugh they were horrible! Only two of them were nice and they were barley there. Everybody else would always talk crap about me when I wasn't there... Like really you are all how old now hahaha? I just seems where ever I go there Is someone who has a big issue with me. I'm starting to get sick of it! This summer (my second year) there was much better! I switched parks and the teens were much nicer! I wasn't the only teen playing with the kids too! They would ask or volunteer if a kid asked and that made me happy to see that they weren't selfish like the other vermin I had to work with.

              Cooperation in my opinion is very important in the work force. You know that old saying that not everybody is going to like you in this world and that's dead on true! Sadly you are going to have to work with people you don't like in this world. But you know what, you can do it! if I could do it so can you. Just forget about the drama and put yourself first. Be the mature one. Don't let someone else make you feel uncomfterbal. This is the real world now, don't coward down or let someone walk over you. Never show fear, show that you don't care and that you are strong. Usually it's jealousy and that's why they don't like you. There will be people who like you and that's when you can be yourself while getting the job down.

               I just got hired to work for a company called eworks at the Revere Showcase Cinema. All I have to do is go up to people and ask them if they want to take a quick survey to help benefit movies. I got to meet three of the teens there and they seemed very nice, and professional. If we work together then we can help eworks get the information/feedback on others opinions to help benefit the movies. I look forward to my job training this Friday and finally getting to have a real job that makes money. I feel very comfortable about taking this job, and confident. I suppose my gratitude comes in play here. I am grateful to now have a paying job that won't be temporary. I am grateful that I get to meet new people. And I am also grateful to help make a difference.



For this week's poem, please write a 16+ line hip hop resume.  Many rap songs are about frontin' the skills, the bling, the talent.  Think of the key words and phrases you included in your elevator speech.  Write a rap that highlights your specific skills, talents, and experiences - as if an employer were going to give you a job based on your rhyming ability.
