Hi! Okay, so today I am doing a video on my first job. It's a little bit of a story time

2
00:00:10,929 --> 00:00:17,269
so you guys can get to know me a little bit better and just have an idea, I guess, of what

3
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:25,149
my first job might have been. So, okay, so I'm gonna start by telling you guys that when I was

4
00:00:25,149 --> 00:00:34,990
about 14, I went away from home to boarding school. And this boarding school was the people

5
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:41,869
who have had classes, we know this, and I've kind of seen the map. But let's say if I lived here in

6
00:00:41,869 --> 00:00:47,469
the United States, the boarding school was like over here. So completely on the opposite side of

7
00:00:47,469 --> 00:00:53,850
the United States in a state that I've never been to before. So that was a really interesting

8
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:59,850
experience for me as a whole um and definitely something you guys can ask me a little bit more

9
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:06,310
about if you would like to know but I yeah so I went off to boarding school and at boarding school

10
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:13,349
was the first place that I sort of got a little sense of independence and given that I was the

11
00:01:13,349 --> 00:01:22,390
age that some of you are right now um just beginning high school I was sort of excited

12
00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:29,269
about the prospect of getting my own job and getting a little a little cash to myself. So

13
00:01:29,269 --> 00:01:38,049
on our campus we had some opportunities to get jobs or to be placed in different offices around

14
00:01:38,049 --> 00:01:46,250
the campus and I applied for and was given the job in the multicultural office which was a really

15
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:53,189
really awesome job. I definitely stayed there for quite a number of years because I just felt

16
00:01:53,189 --> 00:02:00,290
like there wasn't a better office to be on on campus. But I'll tell you guys a little bit about

17
00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:07,150
what kind of things were expected of me and what I got to do based on working at the multicultural

18
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:18,030
office so at the multicultural office at Exeter I was able to meet people who were from completely

19
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:27,129
different backgrounds and places in um in the Exeter environment so like a lot of other students

20
00:02:27,129 --> 00:02:31,969
were from different countries a lot of teachers of course were from different places all around

21
00:02:31,969 --> 00:02:37,669
the United States, around the world. And the Multicultural Center was kind of like a hub for

22
00:02:37,669 --> 00:02:43,569
that. So I got the opportunity to kind of be at the center of meeting all these different people

23
00:02:43,569 --> 00:02:50,349
with different backgrounds. And it was a really, a really wonderful place to be. I also got to

24
00:02:50,349 --> 00:02:57,050
help kind of plan events and speak with some of the adults who definitely had more responsibility,

25
00:02:57,050 --> 00:03:02,569
of course in that office who were planning the events and contribute some ideas especially from

26
00:03:02,569 --> 00:03:09,090
a student perspective and part of the responsibility as well which was really good for a student was

27
00:03:09,090 --> 00:03:16,069
that I just kind of got to be there in the office got to sit there and just sort of be a welcoming

28
00:03:16,069 --> 00:03:23,150
face to the office and of course announce people when they came in or definitely refer them to the

29
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:28,210
right person in the office if they needed help. So it was a really cool opportunity for me to

30
00:03:28,210 --> 00:03:33,789
meet people on campus, which is kind of the perfect thing if you want a job and get to

31
00:03:33,789 --> 00:03:42,150
meet more people. Also to learn skills that are really useful for the future, like kind of

32
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:50,889
planning responsibilities, communicating with other people, and yeah, just as a whole kind of

33
00:03:50,889 --> 00:03:57,150
important things for the future that I would definitely say have helped have helped me

34
00:03:57,150 --> 00:04:08,569
blossom as a person and in other jobs from how I was before I had that job so yeah that was my

35
00:04:08,569 --> 00:04:14,770
first job before that I had a lot of like volunteer responsibilities but I would say this

36
00:04:14,770 --> 00:04:23,170
was my first kind of like paying job um and the so one of the volunteer opportunities that I had

37
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:29,250
that is kind of murky and may have been my first job depending on how you interpret it I kind of

38
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:34,970
interpret it as payment um but I'll explain so I before I went to boarding school when I still

39
00:04:34,970 --> 00:04:40,629
lived in Vegas I had a summer job in which I worked at a family-owned bookstore and it was

40
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:47,269
like a really small really wonderful bookstore that like smelled like books and just smelled

41
00:04:47,269 --> 00:04:53,350
like a library and was like kind of musty and a little bit dark and it was just like it was cool

42
00:04:53,350 --> 00:05:00,310
it was a cool place to me at least um but yeah I really loved working at that bookstore the family

43
00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:08,009
that I worked with were lovely and I kind of like reorganized books put them in bookcases um and

44
00:05:08,009 --> 00:05:14,230
worked with people who came in to buy books as well but I it was kind of like an internship or

45
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:23,930
a volunteer experience with with that small business um but I was paid in books not in money

46
00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:29,730
so that's why it's kind of like murky if it's a volunteer thing or if it was actually a paid

47
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:36,370
paid internship or a paid job um but I definitely consider books payment and have paid a lot of

48
00:05:36,370 --> 00:05:43,689
money to have like all of the books that I have as well. So yeah, I think I think that might be

49
00:05:43,689 --> 00:05:49,389
my first paying job. Not sure. I'm gonna think about that now. But yeah, that's my first job.
