A little more Gratitude.


Since I was 16 I started off working in the restaurant business. Thinking it would be easy and I would enjoy it because my mom did. But I was wrong. I hated it ! Now Im working in two different places which I can say I love and enjoy very much. The environment and  people around me make the work place a whole lot better. 

The first place I started working at is at the East Boston YMCA. I have been here for almost three years, that is the longest I have ever lasted at a work place. Here I watch over kids from morning to afternoon. These kids bring a smile to my face when I'm having a rough day. Seeing how smart and how much they learn it a bitter sweet feeling. Most of these kids adore me and seeing how much I have impacted on their lives is great to know, parents always thank me for my time and patience, little do they know I should be thanking them for taking their kids to me and trusting me. Knowing  there is trust between myself and parents is great. Absolutely no words can describe how happy and grateful I am to have this job, its right up my alley. Because of the YMCA I'm in school going for my dream. They have helped me in ways other jobs haven't. 

I recently started off at a new job a few weeks ago at the Courtyard Marriott, also in East Boston as a housekeeper. The job itself is very difficult, yet I enjoy it a little too much. I think about it as a challenge. I have about 7.5 hours to clean about 14 rooms. Sounds pressuring and hard to do, but once I got the hang of it I managed to handle it all. The people at the hotel aren't as friendly as they are at the YMCA only because most are old and rude, since I'm the youngest they see me as a threat. Other than those ladies I get to focus on myself and what to do to make my job better and easier. I am grateful from his job only because the managers there are very lenient with school and my other job, and the pay is beyond great. Being on my own this was the one thing I needed. The job has given me whole lot in the past few weeks that I would have never thought I would have. It is honestly a great place to work at and I am grateful to be there.




I believe that where ever I am left working, I know I will be happy at either place. Both are financially helpful and both are economically best to work at in my case.









Hey yo check it 
My name is Nicole I'm 19 years ol'
I live in the east of Boston 
Where the sun always shines
hey don't hate on my lines.
From flipping the burgers,
To shaking the shakes, 

and waiting on people who wouldn hate.

Ive done it all !

Sitting those who be rude just cause 

they moody, don't be a classic judy !

Working with computers aint a joke,

I know all the moves on this game.

Time passed and Im with the rugrats,

 who sleep like bats.

the day will never end.
