What I liked was working long hours during the summer. I this summer was boring due to covid and I am god I got to work in order to save up money. I also got to work with my mother which I enjoyed spending time with her.
What I wish was different
I wish they didn’t have me doing multiple jobs at once. If I got payed more I wouldn’t have mind.
Advice
Don’t be scared to say no, allow your voice to be heard because you have a right to defend yourself.

It’s okay to start somewhere and finish somewhere else because now I transferred to the carrabbas in Huntsville for the school semester and it’s as great as ever, same vibes and perfect setting.
