I truly want to open my heart and write something so incredible that would make the person reading my paper say “we should defiantly choose her for the internship.” But fear stops me from writing such a good story because something inside me keeps telling me I’m not good enough. But when you really want something you have to set those fears aside and focus on what you really want.

      I remember calling the work source every day since I had gotten off school. I really wanted to work and be able to buy my own school supplies and anything I need it. But every time I called they would tell me to be patient that I would soon get a call back. I had a friend that was already working so she told me to just go and ask, but I was too scared, I still don’t know why I was scared but I was. It was June already one more month to go back to school and no sign of that called I eagerly waited for so I went to see what was going on. Luckily the same day I had went they were having the orientation for the second amount of kids that would work. So they told me to go and grab a seat that I would have to fill out some information required in order for me to begin working.  I was so happy I wouldn’t believe it even thought it was a long process I got accepted to work and I did I worked at Payless. I had no experience but I knew that wouldn’t stop me from working since I was willing to work. I falsely thought everything was going well so far but a week later I got a text saying practice would begin for Students Run LA it was more like try outs because it was 20 of us and they could only keep 10. So the teacher said who ever attended practices more often would be part of the team. I really wanted to join SRLA since I wanted to experience how it felt to actually run a marathon, I recently ran the 18 mile and it’s the best experience ever. I would have to admit it was tiring but it just made me realize that practices makes perfect its everything in your mind theirs time when you can’t run one more step but you have to if you want to cross the finish like.  Once I got that text I knew I couldn’t do both so I had to choose, I texted my teacher and asked him if some days I could run on my own and just show him I actually ran with this app we had in our phones. He agreed and I was more than grateful. The first day of work was pretty calm there were days when I had to help customers or fix shoes it all depend it on who was working. Some co workers taught me how to put the sensors in the shoes and so on. I still remember my face when I got my first pay check I was so proud of myself and I knew my mom was so too. I knew I had to spend it wisely because that was the only one I was getting since I had finished my hours.
