Hi! Okay, so today I am doing a video on my first job. It's a little bit of a story time 00:00:00
so you guys can get to know me a little bit better and just have an idea, I guess, of what 00:00:10
my first job might have been. So, okay, so I'm gonna start by telling you guys that when I was 00:00:17
about 14, I went away from home to boarding school. And this boarding school was the people 00:00:25
who have had classes, we know this, and I've kind of seen the map. But let's say if I lived here in 00:00:34
the United States, the boarding school was like over here. So completely on the opposite side of 00:00:41
the United States in a state that I've never been to before. So that was a really interesting 00:00:47
experience for me as a whole um and definitely something you guys can ask me a little bit more 00:00:53
about if you would like to know but I yeah so I went off to boarding school and at boarding school 00:00:59
was the first place that I sort of got a little sense of independence and given that I was the 00:01:06
age that some of you are right now um just beginning high school I was sort of excited 00:01:13
about the prospect of getting my own job and getting a little a little cash to myself. So 00:01:22
on our campus we had some opportunities to get jobs or to be placed in different offices around 00:01:29
the campus and I applied for and was given the job in the multicultural office which was a really 00:01:38
really awesome job. I definitely stayed there for quite a number of years because I just felt 00:01:46
like there wasn't a better office to be on on campus. But I'll tell you guys a little bit about 00:01:53
what kind of things were expected of me and what I got to do based on working at the multicultural 00:02:00
office so at the multicultural office at Exeter I was able to meet people who were from completely 00:02:07
different backgrounds and places in um in the Exeter environment so like a lot of other students 00:02:18
were from different countries a lot of teachers of course were from different places all around 00:02:27
the United States, around the world. And the Multicultural Center was kind of like a hub for 00:02:31
that. So I got the opportunity to kind of be at the center of meeting all these different people 00:02:37
with different backgrounds. And it was a really, a really wonderful place to be. I also got to 00:02:43
help kind of plan events and speak with some of the adults who definitely had more responsibility, 00:02:50
of course in that office who were planning the events and contribute some ideas especially from 00:02:57
a student perspective and part of the responsibility as well which was really good for a student was 00:03:02
that I just kind of got to be there in the office got to sit there and just sort of be a welcoming 00:03:09
face to the office and of course announce people when they came in or definitely refer them to the 00:03:16
right person in the office if they needed help. So it was a really cool opportunity for me to 00:03:23
meet people on campus, which is kind of the perfect thing if you want a job and get to 00:03:28
meet more people. Also to learn skills that are really useful for the future, like kind of 00:03:33
planning responsibilities, communicating with other people, and yeah, just as a whole kind of 00:03:42
important things for the future that I would definitely say have helped have helped me 00:03:50
blossom as a person and in other jobs from how I was before I had that job so yeah that was my 00:03:57
first job before that I had a lot of like volunteer responsibilities but I would say this 00:04:08
was my first kind of like paying job um and the so one of the volunteer opportunities that I had 00:04:14
that is kind of murky and may have been my first job depending on how you interpret it I kind of 00:04:23
interpret it as payment um but I'll explain so I before I went to boarding school when I still 00:04:29
lived in Vegas I had a summer job in which I worked at a family-owned bookstore and it was 00:04:34
like a really small really wonderful bookstore that like smelled like books and just smelled 00:04:40
like a library and was like kind of musty and a little bit dark and it was just like it was cool 00:04:47
it was a cool place to me at least um but yeah I really loved working at that bookstore the family 00:04:53
that I worked with were lovely and I kind of like reorganized books put them in bookcases um and 00:05:00
worked with people who came in to buy books as well but I it was kind of like an internship or 00:05:08
a volunteer experience with with that small business um but I was paid in books not in money 00:05:14
so that's why it's kind of like murky if it's a volunteer thing or if it was actually a paid 00:05:23
paid internship or a paid job um but I definitely consider books payment and have paid a lot of 00:05:29
money to have like all of the books that I have as well. So yeah, I think I think that might be 00:05:36
my first paying job. Not sure. I'm gonna think about that now. But yeah, that's my first job. 00:05:43
