Sine I’ve
only had one job after I graduated. I worked at Round Table Pizza I thought it would be a exhilarating experience, but on the other hand it wasn't. Here’s the experience I had with it. Some of
the responsibilities that I had working there was to make sure the food containers
were clean, wash dishes, clean off tables, clean the bathrooms, and mop my
section of the floor. Those were all the duties that I had to deal with. The one
duty that I liked the most was to clean dishes because it was on the easiest
things to do. The ones that I did not care for were the ones that I had to mop
the floor and clean bathrooms. The reason why I had no care for it was because I
would have clean at random times and it would get dirty again. When I got promoted
to supervisor my primary responsibility was to take care of the money in the
store. I feel like that responsibility really helped a lot because it was
something big and the manger trusted me with the stores money. Skills that I developed
that will help me during my internship are good communication skills, customer
service help, and keep calm under any pressure. The lessons that I learned
about the workplace and I, is that even if I hated my job, I still had to go
and perform my best with no complaints and just deal with it. That’s something
that I learned while working and I think it’s something good for me to keep on
doing.

"Freakonomics"
In the book “Freakonomics” by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen
J. Dubner it’s about different scenarios that have happened and give some stats
on how it impacts the main problem. The reason why I think the authors wrote
this book is because there are a lot of people that worry about different
things like crime, cheating, and how parenting works. So the book shows how
stuff happens and sometimes it doesn’t make seem as bad as usual. Also there
are things that people would not know about unless the book brought it up.
Things that left me impressed to me it was the whole book because I like how
they bring up certain subjects and make connections on how they relate. The
chapter that brought out the most discussion on our book group was the one
about the crime rate went lower and how they relate how abortions were related
to the crime rate being lower. This book has made me want to read the second
book because I was so interested. The only downfall was the big vocabulary in
the book I wouldn’t understand some of the words. The book to me was an enjoyable reading
because I was so interested in what the book had to offer. The language didn’t make me loose interest it
made want to find out what the words meant. The terms weren’t explained but by
the way they were put at times I got a sense on what the word would mean. The examples
that the book put out was really helpful because it would lead to their main
point. I would recommend this to someone because it’s a really interesting book
and I think other people would enjoy it.
