Undergraduate / "got a call announcing that I had the job" - common app short answer-activity [10]
This is an answer to the short answer question(about one of my activities) in the common app.
I'm quite ready to revise this one, so I'll be glad to have any kinds of comments! (word limit-150)
"Hello? I'm calling from Cafe Ti-amo. I think you are a good match with us. Can you work starting from tomorrow?"
One ordinary day, a brilliant idea struck me. If I could work at a cafe, I would be able to make money and read books at the same time, when there were no customers around. But as it turned out, every franchise-cafe had set the minimum age of employees at 18. Unwilling to accept that I had to give up my ambitions because of age, I dropped by every cafe in my town and gave them my resume. I explained why I was perfectly suited for the job, both mentally and physically. My hard work did pay off - I eventually got a call announcing that I had the job. I was able to reshape a small part of the world, at age of sixteen, by simply not giving in.
