The job I want
Submitted by: Alexandra H
MinnesotaI am 18 years old I am just about to graduate high school I have aspirations of becoming an elementary school teacher
I really like working with kids, I find it very rewarding.
In my high school career I have worked with my parents as a secretary and I have also worked at Dairy Queen. I hated both jobs I hated going and I hated working there. I focused on how much I hated my job and I made it even worse for myself. I was filled with obstacles, from hard customers who only wanted to give me troubles, to making big mistakes and spilling everything.
When I watched The Secret I felt inspired. It gave me a feeling of control in my own life. I quit my old jobs and focused on getting one that I loved, which most people say in high school is next to near impossible. Well I knew I wanted to work with kids and I pictured myself working with kids. I tried to feel what it would feel like to get the job.
Well one day I decided to call the place I wanted to work at. She said, Come on in tomorrow, Im interviewing. I was so excited. I couldnt believe it worked. But my excitement soon turned to disappointment when she didnt call me back. I felt discouraged, but then I remembered The Secret and to have unwavering faith.
Soon after, she called me and told me I was hired. It really does work if you believe it does, even if its something as little as a high school job.
