Blog Post 4: A Rough Draft of my College Essay

My life has been pretty normal in a few ways, however there are many things that I have experienced which have played a major role in shaping my life.  One major event that left a lasting impact on me as a child, was my parents divorce.  Another major event that shaped my life was when I got a job.  

When I was five years old my parents divorced each other.  This was very hard on me as a child, because I did not understand the reason behind it.  Around a year later my father became an executive officer of a company that went public.  This was great and created a lot of opportunity for the family, however this made it so that my father could not always be around as much as he would have liked to be, since he was always traveling for his business.  Through watching my dad work exceptionally hard, I gained a lot of motivation to do everything that I do to my best abilities, as well as learning an important lesson.  I learned that I must work super hard for everything that I want; and that I must do the best that I can do, on everything that I do to .

Right when I turned 16, I decided that it was time for me to get a job.  I began working at Chuck E. Cheese and stayed there for over a year before I decided to leave them.  I then decided to get a new job at Carrabbas Italian Grill, which is my current occupation.  Working is important in my life story because it has taught me a lot of important lessons.  Through work I have learned better time management skills as well as learning to deal with high levels of stress due to large amounts of work.
