My current job is at the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub, I am a hostess. I have been employed here for around 3 years, I started out as a busser and after about a year switched to hostessing. I really enjoy this job I think it's fun, not too stressful, and i work with great people. I think the Brewpub has been very good for me I have learned a lot of skills from working there, such as organization, time management, teamwork, problem solving, multi-tasking, people skills, conflict resolution, sales and promotions, cash handling, and last but not least perserverance.

Life As We Know It
Every once in awhile you will find yourself in such a rush to get something done that you don’t give it your all, and you turn in work that is only half as good as it potentially could of been. This could be one of the biggest mistakes you are making for yourself. Society can only see what you decide to put out, they can’t see your intentions. This means that say you turn in a paper that is a C grade paper, when you could of had an A paper with a little more effort and/or time, that even though inside your head you know you could have had an A paper you know you are perfectly capable of that, everyone else is just going to see that you are capable of a C paper. So why is it so important that people know your full potential, and you turn in your best work?
Life is a journey of learning new things and making the best of yourself. Your mindset shouldn’t be that you you want people to think you are smart, your mindset should be that you want to take every opportunity that is going to help you grow as a person and become a better you. I feel like a big opportunityopportunity has been lost doing my senior paper wrong but I also gained an even bigger opportunity for myself. I feel like this has given me the chance to understand myself better, and to realize that I don’t want to do my best for my teachers or friends, I want to do my best for myself. Not only something that I am going to benefit from, but other people will too, doing good things for myself will also help benefit other people, because if I’m taking care of myself they aren’t going to have to do it for me, those are all things that I should be doing for myself. I’m moving forward in life and now is the only time I have to grow and make myself a better person because later isn’t always promised to me. I did my senior paper to get it done and have something to turn in to make my teachers happy, but the whole time what I was missing was the main idea of this, I was writing it to make them happy, not myself. I should of wrote about something I was passionate about and really cared about changing but instead I chose a topic that I didn’t really care about, a way to slide under the door and just get past. I wish I could of taken that opportunity to learn about something I was passionate about, and give myself a piece of writing that I could say I did my best on this and gave it my all, but unfortunately I didn’t. All I can do is be happy that this happened to me, and learn from my mistake, because if my senior paper would of been the best it could of been I would of never realized how important it is to do things for your own well-being and happiness which is a key part of life. I might of learned my lesson the hard way but I am very happy about that, because it opened an even bigger opportunity for me to grow as a person and move forward in life, and also learn a lot of new things. Now I know for next time that turning in my best work is the most important thing I could do because it is a direct reflection of what I’m capable of and how much effort I’m willing to put in to get it done. It is also extremely important because you should always care about yourself and every project or paper you do is an opportunity to grow and become a better person and really show who you are. In the end your goal should always be to do your best work, for you to be the best person you can be and for others to benefit from it and learn from it as well. Graduating high school is one of biggest things I have ever done for myself, and is just the start of my life and all of the new doors I am opening up for myself. This is just one of the reasons I am so
