Undergraduate / "No beach but hard work" - Georgetown: Significant summer/school activity [3]
In the space available discuss the significance to you of the school or summer activity in which you have been most involved
heres what i wrote Im not quite sure if it falls under a summer activity. please leave feed back
For the past three years I have been employed part time. During the first summer my friends were going to the beach or the pool, while I was hard at work blending shakes and scrubbing tables at a fast food restaurant. As a 15 year old girl, I felt sad and left out since I was working hard making minimum wage and my friends were outside soaking up the summer sun. After that first summer I realized something; that I am developing traits and skills that otherwise I would not have learned. I started to appreciate having a job, not because I gained a little independence from my parents and had some extra spending money, but I gained sense of reality that most kids my age don't discover until after high school, where they a forced into a harsh environment with no job experience. Although I didn't like that job I stuck with it until I found a suitable replacement. Unpleasant situations are often very good learning opportunities is a significant outlook I took on life after the first summer of working.
