work story

Well, I started working when I was fourteen years old and don't think there has been a month since that first job that I have gone without work. So therefore I have many work stories, so narrowing it down would be the hardest. I've done it all from retail to waitressing but the one job that will forever have changed my life was the one I had this summer. I was a camp counselor at a co ed overnight sports/activities camp. I lived in a cabin with eleven and twelve year olds and one other counselor my age. The pay was not well at all, but i learned so much, I was given responsibility for groups of children 24 hours a day, I met people all over the world from Australia to South Africa and also was lucky enough to meet my boyfriend who I consider the best person I have ever met in my life. I learned what it was like to live in the great outdoors .. a wooden cabin with a bed that was a cot. I was able to run around like a kid again. I lived off of caffteria food which somtimes was composed of eggs in the morning which wern't always the color yellow, somtimes blue. This same food soppositly started a stomach virus that attacked 80% of camp, it was a guessing game trying to figure out who would be sick next. I lived there for nine weeks, the whole experience deffinatly had its ups and downs but I left feeling I knew so much more and would do it all over again.
